Saw some crazy driver almost tip over his car today. Not quite sure exactly how it happened and how he didn't tip over. Right by that funny Milwaukee/Wrightwood intersection. I'm really glad I was at the light and he was far away from me. He was going way too fast. Never seen anything like it... and that's why I try not to go on red lights especially if I can't see over the cars. There are some crazy people out there.

No. Working from home

Love these today! You'd never know how cold, but for the icy splash!

This question is for the commuter that cycle during winter. Would tommorrow be a good day to ride? I am just worried of icy streets on my commute from Morton Grove to Art Institute Chicago Museum (19 miles)

I was just out shoveling again, it is still snowing, and the side streets are pretty bad.  Drivers were stupid today.  I am planning public transportation in the morning.  Cold--no problem.  Snow--I skip it.

Plows haven't been out yet, and there was quite a few slippery ice patches beneath the loose blowing snow.  Had my rear wheel break loose from under me a couple of times and had to counter-steer to bring the back end back into line.  It took studded tires, goggles, and just about all of my guile to get home safe.

In other words, best goddamned ride of the year.

Going for a ride... wish me luck ha

Drivers were obnoxious today. You'd think they'd be more accommodating because of the weather…
You joining the snow ride?

Sadly not, I wasn't even aware of it until now otherwise I would have joined in.
