How many other cyclists did you see on your commute this morning?

I'll start: 1.

I saw a lot passing on Milwaukee as I crossed it, but no one on my side streets.  And it was not nearly as cold as the weather people made it sound!

I saw people on my side of the street and total about 6.  One almost rode in front of a delivery truck under the tracks at Franklin and Chicago Ave.  

And unlike the rest of you, I thought it was damn cold.... although in the middle of my commute I had to duck in an Einstein Bagels to take a 30 minute phone call. So maybe I just never had a chance to warm up.

Agreed Lisa! My commute this morning was super-nice. Not the sixty degrees I wish for of course, but still super nice.

Is it spawning season for salmon?  On the way home I saw at least 4, and I cannot remember the last time I saw one before tonight.

It wasn't loads and loads of cyclists today, but enough that I couldn't tell you how many. Probably a couple dozen this morning, and at least a handful on the evening commute (I was too focused on the headwind to pay that much attention).

Today was a fun weather profile. It was just cold enough to scare off the tourists and lightweight cyclists, but not so cold that all of the fair-weatherers were scared off, too. It was kind of like biking with "the bold" - except, of course, that some of us have been out there for quite a while by now.

Today- none.

Too many.

I think 2.

Only 4.  Last week there were trains of us!

The troops were out from Wicker Park to downtown.  
 

What can we do to get more cyclists out in your neighborhood during your commute?

I had a gang of rogue road cyclists on my tail on Augusta. One of them muttered something about Thunderdome when they passed me.
