Not only was today beautiful, but I caught all the lights as well. I promptly opened a can of PBR when I got home to celebrate today!

I played golf.

Amazing.

Ride home on LFP was awesome!  Looking West, the shadows of statues and buildings against the remaining daylight was sweet!

YES! I started commuting at least one day each week since I got my bike in October. Last week I commuted three days. This week I'll ride two, maybe three depending on Friday's conditions. Cold doesn't bother me, but I'm nervous on ice.

This is my first year of attempting to ride rain, snow, cold, or any other weather condition. I've been asking a lot of questions and with good advice and good layering, the traffic in the loop is the only thing that interferes with my rides. Nervous about riding during my first real snow though.

Snow is not too much of a worry. Slow down a bit, ride a straight line and do smooth, gentle turns ... pretend you are carrying a carton of eggs on your handlebars. The more worrisome element is ice and ice hidden below snow.

We are lucky in Chicagoland to have well plowed and salted streets. Even the lakefront bike path is plowed - not always as often as we would like - and makes it ridable most of the winter.

Just be alert for ice. You will figure that out. You will develop a new sense for it. It just takes practice. So, go out and ride. I know you can do it.
