Road report?

[Justin Vlasits]

Any advice on routes today?

[Nick Albukerk]

Place a salt spreader on the front of your bike - get Curt at Bike Fix to add a 2nd chain to your crank shaft so it spreads automatically as you peddle. Good luck!

If you're willing to ride in the street, you can ride down lake. Bike lanes are impassable east of Laramie.

I braved it. Washington and Warren ended up being pretty clear.

Not a ride report, but the bike lane through Columbus Park appears to be full of snow. Madison is likely to be good

Way to simultaneously flex and put us train-takers to shame, Justin.

I didn't save any time in the end because I waffled at home for 45 minutes trying to decide what to do.

As of this morning the Lake street bike lanes from Laramie to Oakley have been plowed. There are still small snow pile ups at entries and exits along the route but good news for using them!
