i don't anticipate that i'll be doing anything to terribly different from what i've done during the previous 8 chicago winters that i've bike commuted through.
i've got my winter bike set up and ready to roll for when ice season strikes (disc brake IGH hybrid w/ studs & fenders), and by now i think i've accumulated all the necessary clothing and other gear to successfully tackle another season of winter bike commuting.
at most i might get some new glove liners as i remember my old ones getting a little worn out last winter. i'll have to check the winter gear bin and assess them at some point this fall.
