The Chainlink

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?

Also still riding! My new Dutch city bike is great in the snow!

Looks icy out there today. First day I will not be riding due to inclement weather.

Anyone going to brave it? Studded tires?

I didn't see much ice... Streets were pretty clear for me (Lincoln/Wells/Dearborn). Dearbon was more than well salted!

I walked out the door today on my way to the el and immediately regretted not riding. Up on the north-side it was not icy on the streets and there was a certain calm to the morning.

Jenn, that's the southern half of my route, now I really wish I had ridden.

hmmmm looking out my window onto Dearborn and it looks like it is slick with black ice

Let me rephrase that... Dearborn PBL was more than well salted.  (In most places.)

I rode in this morning. Windy, but barely any ice.

I'd really hate to complain, but I feel that the Dearborn bike lane was over salted. There were just piles of salt sitting in the middle of the lane, which are treacherous to ride though. At least the lane is not covered with ice, but this is not much better.

And of course, Goodman somehow managed to get piles of snow in the bike lane again.

You're kidding, right?
