Creaky Joints

Why didn't anyone tell me the cold would make my joints all creaky when I reached my 30's?

Not that I would have listened. I've been laughing at my creaking knees after riding in to work in the practically arctic temperatures (mid-30's) we've had recently. I'm thinking it might be time to invest in a pair of double-front Carhartt's for the chilly days. Or battery-powered, knee sized heating pads. My knees are, after all, out in the breeze on the Triumph. It's almost enough to make a fella lust after one of those fully-faired touring bikes.

Almost, but not quite.
