Just like any other day, I biked to work through our supposed blizzard. I guess I overestimated how plowed the roads would be, and I had to walk the bike to the alley with Mr. B watching
like always.
Here are some pictures of my commute. It really wasn't that bad, the only hard part was the handling and that was on packed snow that was lightly driven on.
It was the grooves of the tire tracks that made handling difficult, but the parts that were not driven on or had heavier traffic was a lot easier to bike on.
I got to test out my new toe clip covers or toe cozys from
Bike Cozy and they really work. My Vans were nice and dry when I got to work and back at home.

During the height of our snow storm our SEVERE WEATHER FORECAST TEAM (who are excited beyond belief at this mess) interviewed a man on his bicycle. With streets and public transportation shut down he was the only one getting anywhere.
Back in Alaska we used to put studs on our bike tires. Had different tires for each season :)
I salute you as being quite possibly the bravest person I (sort of) know. The wind (especially in Chicago!), snow, road conditions... Yikes! You're my hero!
I would have froze to death out there! Wow.
Okay, I'm impressed that you rode your bike to work in that mess. Must have been great exercise, too!
You are so brave, riding in the snow!
I could have never of done that when I worked downtown!!!!
Your dogs are gorgeous! The pet photographer is great, I highly recommend her if you want some fun and interesting photos!!
