I am now completely bikeless. I bought a new bike. it has not arrived yet. I sold my old tri bike a week ago, and yesterday, I broke the frame on my commuter. The thought of driving to work all next week is killing me.

welcome to the club except im not depressed this has given me 4 weeks of cross training - which is harder imo

I had a bike until last week so I did ride once a week to keep my legs used to 45 miles, but almost 10 days w/out a bike im ready, just waiting on that call from the lbs

At least you can ride.  I'm stuck in MA where it was only 34 degrees for a high today and that was not including wind chill, which made it feel like 20/25.  And to go along with that, it's supposed to snow, AGAIN.  Just when you think it's all gone, it's back...but this isn't supposed to be the usual late Feb/early March flurry.  It's supposed to snow for a day and a half to two days straight.  So much for the thought of a ride (if it was a reasonable temp) when I go on break the second week of March.

Good perspective, thanks. All the reason why I live in Austin, TX, as opposed to my original home in the N. Pacific.

How do you break the frame on a bike?

There is always the gym and spin class if you feel the need to get in some pedal time..........
