lovely haha. i guess can't always win. i posted a separate thread with more detail on the commute, but i wanted to know what the wintery conditions were like for everyone, how the ride was, and people were doing... but no one's responded! http://www.bikeforums.net/winter-cyc...nowy-ride.html

i only saw one other cyclist on my ride in which is really unusual. and (s)he was walking his/her bike up the BK bridge, i imagine b/c of regular tires.
