Watch for those Icy Patches!

Yep, anywhere there's a little bit taller building (north facing) you get a nice icy patch that usually extends across the bike lane.  They are usually dirty ice, visible, and not too slippery....but every once in a while there's a good one that's just pure black ice!  Perfect for practicing a nice 50 foot skid....assuming you stay upright!

Beautiful day....but beware the ice!

Watch out kids, the skiff of snow is beautiful, but the black ice adds a little bit of adventure!  If your bike commuting this morning you probably wish you had some studded tires, eh?  I can tell you they make a huge difference on days like this.  I didn't slip or slide once on the whole ride. 

The old northwest neighborhood was really icy!

Downtown had a bit as well!
