I can't imagine seeing any in Springfield and Neosho, other than those who are doing it solely for sport. @Charity – I’m glad to hear that there are bad weather bikers in America.

Just a police-enforced list of what I need to fix on my bike. :) And "Ouch!" on number 5 the hard way!! At least it didn't knock the German out of your head! @Lorraine – Well, I have to admit… it wasn’t actually a “ticket” or even a “warning.” Just a police-enforced list of what I need to fix on my bike. :)

With a siren and the little blue lights? Or one of those spike strips? Did he have on his Michael Jackson glove and wave you down? Just Curious. How did the Polizei pull you over?

And despite the high temps in the 30s, we still have cyclists riding their commutes. They'll disappear when the snow takes over the trails and streets. I think the avid cyclists (for sport and transport) comes with living in a pretty liberal college town in the upper Mid-west. Seriously, it's like people who live farther north appreciate the outdoors more or something - it was something new to witness for me.
