Today was my first commute, and it was great. There were a few unexpected detours, so some exploring is in order to find the best route. It was about 6 miles, not much wind, 20* F which wasn't as bad as I expected.

The biggest surprise here was once I was downtown we have a few bike lanes that are in the middle of the road, with oncoming traffic to the left and buses, etc on the right. Problem was they didn't plow the snow off the bike path! So I had to merge in front of the buses to get around the big patches of snow and ice! Made me a bit nervous. I think I'll be looking for a way around that area too.
