I agree- very pleasant, although our side street was still a little icy in some places. Otherwise, very nice day to ride.

No ice for me but I had a strong headwind, Rogers Park to Hyde Park, otherwise beautiful.  Looking forward to the ride home with the wind at my back.

Got fooled by the Weather App on my BB. It stated 33 degrees at 6:15 am. I was under-dressed for the mid twenties it it turned out to be.
Made for a chilly commute.

For some unknown reason I hit the lakefront trail again at 6am.. There was so much salt down on my way home last night I figured there is no way ice would beat me up 2 days in a row. There were only small patches of ice the entire way so today I WON..... (except for the wind) I was hoping for the same wind out of the south for the way home, but no such luck, it shifted to almost straight east.  All in all a pleasant ride.

The wind this morning was pretty bad; I did not enjoy my ride south.

After yesterday, it seems to me you're still over your quota for "beaten up by ice..."

I had a great evening ride tonight but I'm a little fed up with winter weather and its dirty "after birth".

I walked part of the way down Western (too much traffic) and some light-less Bianchi Pista riding fixie kids nearly hit me and some random pedestrians on the sidewalk going way too fast from behind. I have never been so annoyed with fellow riders.

I've also noticed that hipster kids are now getting into rollerblading... seriously.

Probably the jerk-offs that stole my bike from my balcony.

And thus the 80s return.

Man, this morning was one beautiful morning. Bright sunshine, wind in the back.

And there were 5 bicyclists waiting for the light at Wells and Ohio. It's been months since I seen so many commuters at once. Does that mean spring is has finally arrived?

The 80's were last year. I feel the early 90's returniing. I can't wait for parachute pants.

I feel the same way.  Even though it was sunny this morning, I still am just sick of riding in the winter.
