I have noticed that the good will of February has melted away well before the snow.

Walking in the street where there are either no or impassible sidewalks is somewhat unenjoyable.

No, no, I walked it too, the first of many little walks that punctuated this ride. I've ridden stuff like that in the past, and while the Nokians generally prevent falls, it's NO FUN at all to ride over, and I generally just coast to a stop and dismount. In this case, since I saw it first, I dismounted, took its ugly picture, and walked; pretty soon I became aware of the fact that I was using the bike and its Nokians as a walker... One of those little aperçus that put things in perspective; cognitive priming for the bus stop incident...
