Bright side of non-plowed trails

On the South Side trail this afternoon, it occurred to me that there would be a silver lining if the city falls through on plowing the trails this weekend: while most streets would be slushy and disgusting, we could roll through a lovely White Christmas.


Also, I found it interesting to look at the tire tracks and see where people had gone. For instance, I think there were around six tire tracks coming from Station Square, and all but a few took the "unofficial" trail rather than the official trail detour between 3rd and 5th Streets. I liked to see where other (serious) cyclists' preferred routes were.

You probably saw my tracks deciding to not use the icy trail and take the streets via the detour instead. No one uses the detour.

So how/if that bike is locked is probably irrelevant under those conditions.

I would love to be "stranded" in NYC
