carlotta, I'm a little envious of your fair weather traffic congestion. We don't have enough bike/ped traffic around here to get congested even in fair weather. :( But I am working on changing that!...

Beautiful snow and it was almost as warm as it could possibly be and still be snowing. The snow was coming down thick so it was this lovely blanket and even where cars had passed it was like mine...

Schwalbe marathon winters.
I watched the bike shop mechanic putting the tire on and decided right then that I'll pay someone to put them on and take them off at the beginning and end of every winter...

I got to use my studded tires finally. For FIVE WEEKS after I bought them we didn't get a flake of snow! I was starting to think they worked by magically preventing snow...like my rain gear (for...

Snow is on its way!
But it's only supposed to last a day or so. I might have to go out of my way or bike at a strange time of day, to get my studded tires on actual ice.

Maybe I should pour...

Such a GOOD feeling when preparations and backups save your butt! You had the spare battery AND additional lighting.

Now get a new spare battery (or recharge the other one, whatever it is you do),...

Very cool! Didn't understand a word of it but I like listening to different languages just for the sound. :)

I read something, I don't remember which state is doing this, they do make accommodations during construction. That is definitely something to push for in all 50 states. And other countries too.

I could easily walk when it's nasty out and I wouldn't even need my studded tires for the snow. But I'm so excited about the tires. It'll make it easier to have the option to walk or bike. Biking is...

That's a great point! After I got my downlow glow I tried to get my husband to drive around the block while I was riding around it and tell me how visible I was. He never got around to it, but some...

Last night I discovered yet another perk of having lots of lights. I've been riding without my downlow glow for a while because I need to replace the battery. Last night my headlamp quit working. Two...

And if you were to get hit in spite of your excellent lights, the insurance company would be much more likely to cough up without a fight. If they did put up a fight, your lights would be a major...

Snow on the ground today, I wasn't sure how it would be for biking. I took it slow and easy, and I didn't have any problems. Sure wish I had snow tires or snow chains on that bicycle.

You could sell them. I'd buy! :D

I didn't ride Monday because the newly fallen snow was slick. Yesterday I walked because I thought I'd be more comfortable. Today I didn't want to take the time to...

This morning a facebook friend, Melissa, posted that she saw a woman trying to ride in the new fallen snow and it was pretty funny.

I had chosen to walk today, because I knew it would be slippery...

I am fondly remembering that 107F bike ride in Phoenix back in September. Frost on the ground today. It seems too early in the year for long johns and the wool undershirt already, but it's probably...

I sort of dread the first snow because I know I'll be so tired of it before the winter is over. But at the same time I look forward to it because it's a lot of fun for a while. Nonetheless I was...

I noticed the daily commute thread has been quiet lately. I miss it. I remembered we had a special thread for fall/ winter last year, I thought that might help. Anyone out there?

Yesterday was our...
