Hmmmm.
You know that sidewalk I have to go down to get to out of my neighborhood at the start of my commute? (The one I've been b---hing about all winter?)
Well....it's still completely (well, 80%) clogged with impenetrable ice blocks 5 feet (1.5 m) tall.
But.......
The sidewalk across the street....that gets more direct sunlight.....is nearly clear. And rideable.
So.....
The question becomes, do I cross 6 lanes of traffic (without a light) to get to the side walk on the OTHER side....ride down the sidewalk a mere 1/3 mile to the light, cross as a pedestrian at the light, and start riding again to work? Or...do I just say fuggettaboutit and drag my DH out of the house to take me to Metro each morning and take the subway in until the snow on my side of that hell road melts more?
