We had to go into the city for our monthly dinner/theatre last Friday night. It was a nightmare. One hour and 40 minutes, which at it's worst, takes usually an hour. The number of cyclists darting between cars, on already narrowed roads, where no one can see around the corners at intersections was frightening. The bike lanes are snow covered, and cyclists should be in the street, but, at least stay in the lane. And maybe one out of fifteen had front/rear lights (it was 6 PM). I hate to sound anti-cyclist, but I also hate to see other riders doing stuff like this.
I don't have to drive far to work and I love snow/winter sports, so I don't mind not riding for a couple of months. My guess is that I may not be riding March 1-15, as is my usual start date, if this stuff doesn't melt, but if I can x country ski, I'm good. I've had plenty of years where I've ridden at least a couple of times in January and February.
