It's hard enough to wash the crap off the roads, I will be able to ride this weekend! I don't have a winter beater for poor conditions.

For those who don't know, if you don't clear the streets within an hour after a snow storm in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, you don't get re-elected mayor. So they put down about an inch of salt for every inch of snow and that will wreak havoc on my drivetrain. If you don't believe me, have a chat with ex-Hizzonor Michael Bilandic and Jane Byrne.

It caught me off guard yesterday so I'm not all that happy about it. It will be nice to have clean roads, but last night I chickened out and had my wife pick me (and my bike) up from work.

You sir are no chiken :D . At least you thought about it at 40 degrees and raining, I won't go out if the roads are wet, I'm the chicken (although I will go down to 20 degrees if it is dry).
