I've been enjoying checking out people's winter rides the past couple of weeks. I'm surprised how few have studs this time of year, though...it's pretty basic equipment for ice riding. Still, it's pretty impressive - at my last job there was one other winter rider (office of ~200 people), while at my current job there 3-6 bikes this time of year, depending on the day, and only about 120 people in total. Summer, of course, we run out of space in the bike room as 15-20 bikes per day crowd in.

Seriously? 2% on a nice day in summer? My opinion of Portland just dropped substantially.
