Nice first ride in the COLD.

For the first time since January 29th, and boy did I feel out of shape. Won't stop me from biking the rest of the week, though.

Clark, SouthPo, Lincoln, Wells, and Dearborn for me today. Saw at least a half dozen other cyclist out ther.

Looks like we *might* have some good dry weather for a while.

I rode in Dunwoody Georgia this morning! Is that cheating? Temperature about 50 and they have HILLS here. Managed about seven miles on lovely streets.

I'm sorry you won't be here for our CCC meeting, but glad to hear that you're having fun.

I had not been on the bike since the monsoon ride on the 29th. The ice spots on the streets are pretty much gone. I have been spinning and actually got to xc ski on Saturday so it was an enjoyable return and not a chorus of dissent from various minority muscle groups.

I rode this morning. I rode by an accident involving a bicycle and a car at Kinzie & Jefferson today. The bicyclist looked okay, he was holding his arm, not sure exactly what happened, but my guess is a car cut off the bicyclist as I always see cars creeping into the bike lane. Fire engine and cops arrived just as I was approaching the intersection. A couple bicyclist were sitting with him. If you're on chainlink, let us know you're okay.

Saw the same scene, also hope the cyclist is okay. I agree that intersection is bad - I'm always fearful of a car turning right without stopping and looking first. Doesn't help that taxis often stop in the bike lane at that corner.
