Winter 2015- who's still riding?
Traffic 'round these parts dropped off pretty dramatically a few weeks ago... hard to tell from the "I rode today" thread who's still riding, as one would have to conclude that Gene is the only one out there most days by reading it....
Who's sticking it out and plans to continue to ride pretty much every day regardless of weather?

I made it all through last winter but have been off the bike for a few months and had a terribly cold and unpleasant ride last night. I think I need to build my cold tolerance back up...

I also noticed that I can shave ~5 minutes of my 10.5 miles morning commute when it's cooler.

Only saw about five other riders today. 6 miles of bliss.
Today was the first day my face actually got cold en route.

It was pretty empty along the lake this morning though I saw most of the usual suspects, like the recumbent rider and the lady on roller blades.

I think I saw most of the usual suspects on my side street route today. Tomorrow might require the winter helmet and another layer of socks.

I'm coming off ACL surgery and won't be able to ride again until January at the earliest. You can bet your sweet bippy I'm going to be out there as soon as I can, and when I am, I'm going to announce it here.

This will be my first Chicago winter riding! Are there stickers? Where do I get one of them?

I've graduated from "I'll bike as long as the low is above freezing" which actually worked pretty well last year, to "I'll bike as long as there's no snow/ice on the streets." So far so good. Only saw a few other riders on my normal commute today.

I just walked to go run an errand. Riding my bike in below freezing temps is much nicer than walking in mid-30s temps!
