RE: How do you handle cold runs?

well this kind of goes without saying but if you have been out of the game for a while take it easy at first!

If I lived in an area that wasn't nearly deadly as far as the population density is concerned I would love to do a bit more cycling. It just isn't really possible since I have to carefully ride / walk my bike to the lake just to have a road that doesn't have thousands of cars on it 24-hours a day!
