I have maintained a perfect commuting year thus far in 2010 by bike, despite it being the 4th snowiest winter on record here in these parts. 41 inches of snow has fallen.. A timely investment in December in some Nokian Hakkapellita 308 all-condition studded 26x2..125" MTB tires with kevlar bead, enabled me to get through the tougher winter road conditions with no real problems. The greenway trail was snowed out for a couple of weeks but I rode on the plowed roads instead.
I've continued picking up trash and recycling it as I go, each day.
The avoided carbon emissions have added up to 21 trees worth from the recycling, and 22 trees worth from the bicycling miles. Although it's only mid-March, my mileage has reached 450 miles. It's all good!
Warmer weather has returned, albeit with rain. Highs this week should be in the 50s most days!
