17 degrees this morning in our nation's capital. After the aborted commute yesterday, I was really committed to making it in today. Which I did, and it was mostly fine. Only ***** was that all of the streets had slush/snow banks, so I had to stay in the middle of the lanes. Not a big deal, but definitely solicited my share of honks. Had a couple near-slips but managed to stay on the bike and never had to take my feet out of the clips.

Scottmorrison, good luck adjusting to commuting on a fixed gear. I just started a couple weeks ago and am still adjusting to it. I'm fine on the fixed when I go riding at night, but when I'm commuting through downtown rush hour traffic, I'm kind of on "auto-pilot" in a way, so I often revert back to my gear mindset. And that's when I'll try to coast (usually when going over an pothole or cruising through an intersection) and will be jerked back to reality. It's really jarring!
