Biking in the Snow & Rain, and Mud & Muck

  Snow biking has truly begun in Milwaukee today.  Scattered rain/snow showers all day makes for a messy commute.  Be extra careful today because snow may or may not accumulate on roads, especially bridges.  It also may or may not be frozen when your riding.  I know when I ride home tonight it will be dark and the temps will most likely be below freezing.  Remember to not only be careful for yourself but also of other drivers.  I saw a mini van slide into an intersection behind me this morning and almost take me out.


I wore my REI rain suit with a light long-sleeve base layer from Prana.  Gators, waterproof gloves from Sealskin, and an isolated cycling cap with ear flaps.  And yes that is snow collected on the brim of my hat.

Don't forget to come to my Winter Cycling Clinic tomorrow night from 6-8pm at the Brookfield Wheel & Sprocket.  Fun, facts, and some fiction assisted by free drinks and discounts for attendees.
