Really nice commute home with a HUGE tailwind. Ran the helmet cam to capture some Christmas lights downtown and caught this scene.

Can you find the confused motorist in this photo?

My left hand involuntarily clenched a bit at the sight of it!

Nice ride in for me today: 44F/6 or 7C with about a 10mph headwind and light rain. Absolutely nothing to complain about! Even the motorists were well-behaved and alert (at least alert enough for my purposes).

6*F this morning. I dressed for it and was quite comfortable the whole way. The only cold bit was my toes; I need to get those neoprene booties sent back to Performance to get them exchanged for ones the right size. Either that or switch to platforms and hunting boots, which I normally do at some point in the winter.

19*F this morning, I left at my perfect time, traffic was light, no wind...it's better then coffee!

Mid 40's with a light headwind and sporadic showers, not bad. I was dressed just right and was very comfortable. I'm still waiting on my new tires, it's been about 2 weeks now, and feel that I'm really starting to push it riding on slicks-they're calling for a rain/sleet mix this evening. In addition, I'm learing how to adapt to being perpetually calorie-deprived. We're so busy these days that my evening meals are really taking a hit, my energy level and strength are noticably lower, making my normal pace impossible. Hopefully, I'll lose weight, at least.

I hated to drive this morning because it was really warm, but it was very foggy and it's supposed to turn cold and rainy by this afternoon. So I wussed out and drove. I don't like riding in rain and fog. Good thing I don't live in the Northwest!

Snow! (Not nearly enough for them to close work, alas.)

DRIVING FAIL!


Rode today after a couple days off due to snow. Had some bad ped-tracked ice to deal with. Did not like. The studs held, more or less, but the surface was horrible.

Temps in the high 20sF. Nice tail wind.

6*F along the lake shore this morning in chicago. I only saw 1 othe biker and 5 joggers along my 7.5 mile commute. It feels good to out there. I am sure my toes would not say the same. Ride safe guys and keep it up.

19F but nice

No commute today, 1/2 inch of ice covering everything here in the "bluegrass", and about 20 minutes north they began getting snow, up to 3 inches. So I walked today...bike tomorrow hopefully.

35F and raining. Not hard. Just enough to slicken the roads and make me glad I took the time to reinstall the fenders on the fixed gear commuter.

38ish or something like that, a sprinkling of rain. I got passed by a roadie with a 700c wheel strapped to his back, but besides him, I was the fast guy on the greenway.

Which just tells you how light the traffic was.

slippery but fun

We got rain here in SoCal yesterday. When it rains they (not sure who, but some gov't agency) locks the gates to the MUP's that parallel local rivers, I suppose to avoid having people fall in the river and need rescuing. So this morning I had the joy of hopping 4 fences (with my bike) during my commute. It added a bit of fun and adventure to the normal commute.. but killed my pace.

50 degrees, pouring rain outside, headwind part of the way home. My bag was wrapped with a ghetto poncho (trash bag), and the rest of me got soaked.

I had a blast, per usual.

Passed another cyclist just before getting home, gave him a grin and a wave. If you're out there, mystery cyclist in Tempe who passed a ninnyhammer on a yellow Motobecane, hi!

Morning commute was typical cold for this time of year in SW Ohio (mid 20's). PM commute was more exciting...freezing drizzle. Had to stop a few times to scrape the ice off my googles.

It was complete pandemonium out there. UPS truck wrecked into a FedEx truck. Cars sliding into each other, through intersections, as usual, driving too fast for conditions. Anti-lock brake sounds all over town.

One car decided to go left of another to avoid a rear end collision and nearly hit me as I was making a left turn. Of course they look at me like it's all my fault even though I was probably the ONLY vehicle under control in the entire city.

I put on the Schwalbe Winter Marathons last night, just in a nick of time. Wow! What an awesome first day on studs. Worth every penny.

still struggling with a cold but the weather has been relatively warm. Managed to get this far into the winter without studs but I think they'll go on before tomorrow's ride- snow storm coming.

I don't know why, but the UPS/FEDX thing made me smile. It's nice to be on the outside of the mayhem looking in isn't it?! Wish you had a helmet cam!

This morning was cold, but clear. Then about noon the snow started down. By the time I got on the road it was insane. I had to wait for no traffic and walk my bike to a clear spot in the center of the road. There I saddled up and took off.

I slid a few times to the side, but kept it upright. I had someone going to opposite direction yell "You're an idiot", to which I replied "**** you too!" After that I had a short bus driver lay on the horn after passing me. Everytime people do this I want to pull out my chain and smack it through their windows.

Awesome, after yesterday starting at -13 todays 34 was damn near summer like

Lots of snow and ice. No cycle commuting for this princess.

35F/2C with just a hint of drizzle. Road spray a little chilly on my bare shins and calves, but I don't usually head to the office expecting romance anyway.

Kid's stuff in comparison to some our rides here, though...

No ride this morning.. the fog yesterday riding in was horrible.. couldnt see anything, so I drove this morning for safety reasons.

Its expected to clear up tomorrow morning, I will try again then.

Made my first real commute in to work today. I have been planning it for a week or two now, but always found an excuse not to do it.

It was overcast and about 40F. 7 mi one way (not counting the bus trip) with just a few hills. It's nice to know I put 0 miles on my car today. My wife tried to talk me out of it because she's worried I'll get run over, but I called her when I got to work, so maybe she won't fuss as much next time.

It only took me an hour to get to work (1/2 that time on the bus).
