We all know the type. Certain people treat every conversation about bad or extreme weather like it s some kind of contest. Maybe their hometown is snowier than yours. Maybe they ve lived through more blizzards. In any case, these charming folks can t resist a little meteorological one-upmanship.

The below-zero temps and double-digit-below-zero wind chills of February can make the annual Winter Bike Week a hard sell some years.
But this year? As we head into the second year of social distance and Covid precautions? Plenty of folks are already taking to the trails on their fat tire bikes - now the trick is reminding them to take advantage of the nice temps (before Saturday, that is) and walk or bike to work or maybe just to run an errand or two.
