We got a dusting of snow last night and the driveway and my street were not quite icy, but close. Slick snow. I looked at my car and decided to leave it dusted and take the bike out of the garage and commute with it. It's supposed to get above freezing by noon, so that dusting will melt away, and I won't even need to scrape it when I need the car this evening.

I walked my eFatty down the driveway before mounting up. No incidents.

My fancy rechargeable Ravemen tail light was dead, so I plugged it in and wore my (colder) helmet with lights in it. Took my leg band with the LED & fiber optic too, and the headlight was in courtesy mode. (on steady low, with a bright flash now and then) I didn't even need my overpants or mittens this morning. (I used insulated work gloves)

The face shield on my helmet does nothing to keep the wind from making my eyes water, I'll remember to wear my Wynd glasses next time and keep the visor up.

Tonight after I drop my daughter off, I'm going to check out a used Schwinn Loop folding bike for $120. People seem to love them; they're like a 70s design, but updated with more modern wheels, brakes and 7 speed derailleur. (instead of 1 or 3 speed)
