Winter commute home in Covington

Yep, these gloves are rubbish. 45F and raining and my hands are completely numb. Lifeless appendages attached to my body, Turbo mode was overused.
In this video, one will see that I use sidewalks from time to time. This is generally in the car-centric 'burbs' with a 50 MPH strode as the only right-of-way connection between communities like Covington and Kent. I do make an effort to slow down when there is limited view and always slow down around pedestrians, bus stops, etc. Purists would say that I should be in the road regardless but I don't have a deathwish.
