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!
