The temperature has dipped a bit but not too cold that I find riding my bike these days is exhilarating. Despite the extra layer of long sleeves shirt, down vest and a scarf, I'm still comfortable after one hour ride. The only problem is I need a light fabric to cover the lower part of my face when I ride on a windy day.

I've seen some bike messengers have their face covered from nose down to neck. Perhaps that will help to shield my face from windy day.

I've seen this type of foolish action before from a pedestrians point of view, but now that I've been riding everyday, I see these individuals foolishness could put myself in danger too. If you ever stand on either side of Tremont Street at Park Street subway station you must have seen two groups of people on the feet act. The first group always wait until the WALK sign comes up before they cross the street.
And the second group just simply cross the street without waiting the WALK sign even they see the cars speeding down toward them. Most of them don't even bother to look up from their gadgets in their hands, or some of them when they keep talking on their cells while they cross the street.
Now, that I ride a lot, I find the second group is not only foolish but dangerously foolish because their behavior can put me into dangerous situation. One of these days, go up to intersection Tremont Street/Boylston Street. The other day, I was on my bike on Boylston Street waiting to cross Tremont Street. The green light came on, but the people were still crossing streets from all sides. The scene reminded me of the Walking Dead series where the zombies walked in all directions.
