I commute from Lincoln Square to Evanston. 2 were heading south on Ravenswood, 1 heading north in Evanston.

I didn't count, but less than yesterday. Which is odd, because it's much warmer than yesterday... people must have hit that cold yesterday and thought "ok now I'm done"

Zero.

I actually saw 2 people (riding separately) near 95th & Wood on my trip this a.m. - unusual for this time of year, when I typically don't see many people riding in my 'hood.

One on Milwaukee at Wolcott/Wood, and then no one on my side street route until Kinzie/Milwaukee/DesPlaines where I saw only one turning from Milwaukee to Kinzie.  Then no more until I turned onto Dearborn.

I saw a few on Milwaukee Ave. Maybe 5 or 6 total.

Two who I believe were headed home after Saturday morning group ride...they were not riding together but were both all kitted up.

One gal dressed in layers of bright fun colors. I found myself hoping that she had layers enough to be warm along with looking stylin'.

And, I didn't see them riding but three others from my shop also rode in this morning...so I can almost say 6.

Not commuting today, and I did not count, but riding from Wicker Park to Ravenswood I was surprised at the number of other people I saw riding. It was surely more than ten.

Last night, Saturday, I saw another half dozen or so cyclists on Damen after midnight, as I headed north to the Clybourn Metra station on a Divvy.  I was slightly overdressed in a down parka, but was very happy to have the parka on my last mile-and-a-half walk from the Evanston Main Street station home at 3:00 AM in 15 degree temps.  Our Metra train ran over some unfortunate homeless man around 1:00 AM, and the train stopped just south of Main for two hours while the police investigated, trapping us passengers inside.  Metra police took two of the more rambunctious passengers off the train in handcuffs during our wait.  I bailed out as soon as the police released our train and we moved into Main Street, not wanting to wait hours longer for a replacement engineer (ours was taken, I expect, for drug/alcohol testing and a police interview).

I understand that Divvy was not overly used yesterday, to put it mildly (though I did my part with two Divvy trips).  Since the bikes were mostly sitting in place all evening, there wasn't a lot of rebalancing to do, so we took it upon ourselves to move several hundred bikes out of storage and stash them in stations, as the shop was so ridiculously stuffed with stored bikes as to be unusable.  So expect to see a lot more Divvy bikes out there, in docks, today and tomorrow, at least, until someone higher up decides this was a bad move.
