How many miles is your commute? ((read the OP before responding please, hunny-bunnies))

There seem to be a lot of discussions about gear, clothing, winter riding that don't take into account the sort of commutes people have; i.e. advice that applies to someone who rides 15 miles each way may not be useful to someone who rides 3 miles. So I thought I'd propose that people add the (one-way) distance of their daily commute, or their most typical one-way distance for regular 'utility' (rather than social/fitness/recreational) rides after their user name and see if it helps, or at least provides a little added interest...

Southbound, Peoria is a nice alternate, too. And it is just one block west of Green.

Thanks Cameron.....I'll give that Green Street option a try. Greektown is dangerous at night....valet parkers at the restaurants......traffic side doors opening etc.....the valet parking guys will stand right in the lanes or walk out into the street mid-block.....and (ouzo drinking) suburban visitors seem to have no clue about bikes at all.....so be extra aware of getting doored there if you ride on Halsted....so far I've been safe, but TWO of my coworkers got doored in the last week (one broken collar bone which required surgery and one arm in a cast for SIX WEEKS!)....so I'm extra door-shy.
