Snow tires on!

I was going to fix up the bike my husband doesn't ride to be my snow bike. But I never got around to getting 26" studded tires and I needed to go somewhere today that was a bit far for walking, so I put the 700cc studded tires on my bike. I could have walked down our street and after that it was plowed so I'd have been all right without the studded tires, but it was nice to have them on the plowed roads in case there was an icy patch or a bit of slush.

They even plowed the bike lane!

My destination was the 4th Ward Coffee Shop Conversations. I was the only one from 4th Ward-- a contingency from 6th Ward had come to talk about a proposed development that they oppose. It probably won't be approved, for many reasons. It was fun & I now have a TED talk and a book to look for. But I hope next week there is a higher turnout from 4th Ward. For one thing I'd like to meet my neighbors.
