I was in Kansas City last week and so I got to experience the front end of the snow storm that dumped on the DC area. In Kansas City they had blizzard conditions and 17″ of snow! I had brought my bike helmet, mask and gloves so I was prepared to keep up the Frozen Saddles streak using the RideKC Bike Share bikes, which are very similar eBikes to the CaBi or Lyft bikes. On Sunday, January 5th I had to chip the RideKC bike out of an ice cocoon (with my only tool, a gel pen) to even get the gears and unlock mechanism to engage. I managed a wobbly sleazy mile on the icy sidewalk and then loops in a semi-covered garage. Kudos to the men at the bus stop who only laughed at me a little when I almost slid out in front of them. Monday, January 6th was post-snow but the bikes were covered in the fluffy stuff and I had another cautious slippery sleazy mile around a semi-plowed parking lot. The streak lives!
A literal freezing saddle.
Chipping ice off of the grips.
My slippery path!
3/18/24 last flag! It’s been great playing along with you all, thank you for the fun pointless prize game! I feel like it’s going to be a few weeks before I stop reflexively looking for new flags everywhere…
3/17/24 Korean War flag (this one: https://www.flagsandstuff.com/product/korean-war-veterans-195053-freedom-isn%C2%92t-free-3-x-5-flag/)
3/8/24 Kansas City Jayhawks! As I was taking this the resident walked out and I told him what I was doing. He added “Rock chalk!”
