Coldest day ever for Divvy riders

From the Sun-Times: Coldest day ever for Divvy riders.

I'm glad Divvy is staying open through this weather this year, and I'm very thankful to all of the Divvy workers who keep the system going when it is this cold.

Woohoo! I was 2 of those rides!

I got a few "you're crazys" and the like from coworkers, but honestly riding Divvy in the extreme cold is still better than waiting in the wind for a bus - even in my sleeping-bag-sized coat! I encountered a few stuck seats and one stuck rear wheel, but there were plenty of usable bikes available where I needed them. I even got a magically just-cleaned, just fresh from the shop Divvy on Thursday evening! Like a unicorn in a snow storm!
