I also try to ride every day. I live in Queens and work in Manhattan so we ride the opposite ways. Although I had a long break this Winter due to surgery. I mostly ride over the Williamsburg bridge most of the time, sometimes I take Queensboro or Manhattan for variety, usually on the way back home. Yes, I rode in strong storms and even blizzards. Sometimes it's somewhat scary if there is lightning or when the bridge is iced. Sometimes I get rewarded with an awesome, full rainbow And usually I get rewarded with an empty bridge

I will be riding a green Surly Trucker with Axiom rear panniers and I hit the WillyB around 8am so wave if you see me
