I know I'm not the only one here who goes a bit crazy when it's too bad to ride.  What's your "fix?"

Me:

Fixed gear road when it's not too brutal cold, but then the trails should be frozen so all good
Road rides where I just go find as many stupid steep hills as possible.
Trainer/Rollers when it's REALLY bad.
Bike maintenance

Also:

Chew finger nails
Spend too much time on the internet
Spend too much money at the bike shop
Twitch slightly (intermittent)

The worst part of this is my work is much slower this time of year, so I just end up with more spare time.   Sad

Purchased a road bike for this reason. Plus, I work late  on the weekdays and it's not always safe to be a single rider on the trails late at night. So, my fix is to go hammer the cranks (on the road bike) on Kelly/West River Drive and climb the hills of the "Yunk". Never thought I'd enjoy road riding but it has opened up a whole new appreciation and dimension to being on 2 wheels!!!

Oh, and spend too much time on the internet reading about riding and buying too many things. Makes me feel complete Grin

Keep trails friendly. Go by slow and say "Hello"

Urban assault. Stairs, loading docks, walls. Pretty much anything is rideable with creativity. There is a parking garage downtown where you can shuttle up on the elevator and bomb down the ramp hangin it out on the turns. Good times. I also like to do trail work cause it's easy to see where the water is sitting.
