Great to be back on the bike after a week out due to chest cold!

Streets were mostly clear. Look out for ice near intersections where cars may have splashed out standing water and iced it over. Also, coming across Clark bridge, the plates seemed to have a gloss on them so I just coasted and held my breath . . . no wipe-out.

Be careful and you should be fine.

Winter has returned. It was cold this morning, but some beautiful sunshine as well

As far as ice goes, it appears limited to surfaces that were exposed air. Think bridges, decks, fences, etc. I didn't see any ice on the streets really.

That's amazing. What type of business is it?

Yep, I have to say that we have it made.

More than half of our folks ride to work most days. It wouldn't happen unless the owners fully supported two-wheeled commuters.

But until other places figure it out, we all do what we have to do... Cheers.

There is a section of the southbound Dearborn lane that is a huge frozen puddle - in the block of the Federal Plaza. It extends into the northbound land for a length of 20 feet or so. Be careful!

Ouch - sorry to hear about that - but I'm glad to hear that the worst thing was a scratched bike.
