Hey mickchick - I made it home last night without any incidents to report. I was expecting to have a rough commute but surprisingly it went well. Traffic wasn't that bad at all (and maybe it helped that I was expecting the worst?). And for the most part, the bike lane heading up 14th street was clear. I latched on to another cyclist and we rode together for quite a while. I really miss riding on the trail though. My 15 mile trail commute has been reduced to a 9.5 mile city commute. Even though it's much shorter, I still get home at the same time because of all the red lights and stop signs. I can't wait until spring .
