I really expected to see more cyclists on the trail but didn't.

I was riding! I thought the winter would stop me at some point but never really did. OK, I didn't leave my house for a few days after the blizzard but I think it'd be ridiculous to even go out driving in that. I usually am not on the lakefront trail though. There's parts in the winter that don't get maintained that well. But as long as there's not too much snow it's fine. I like riding the trail and do take it even though it usually adds a couple of miles.
Even though there's a lot of riders here most of my friends call me crazy. I think waiting in the cold 20 minutes for a bus is a little crazier, but hey.
