Bikes: 2011 Trek Soho DLX

I'm back! I haven't commuted by bike since the middle of January. Too much snow on the only direct way to work, the bike path, and it's not plowed. Lots of 2.5 mile hikes to the city bus, punctuated by driving a couple times a week. Sigh.

Anyway... 28F this morning. I still have the Ice Spikers mounted. The bike path alternates between clear pavement and hard-packed snow and/or ice. More clear than snow/ice though, so that's good.

There's one section that is always the worst, and it didn't fail to disappoint. I'd guess there's at least a foot of snow still there, and it's so solid that I can ride on top of it. It degraded to post-holes, ruts, and general dangerousness, so I walked for a bit.

Here's the Trek just after the worst part, where I started riding again.
