Fabulous!
Chicago is one of those secret cycling cities I think. Ask somebody from
Portland Oregon how cycling is there, and they'd probably say stressful
and dangerous. Residents know though, that it's the best way to get around.
Biking in the winter there was great if the streets were clear (and you
had fenders and waterproof boots (I prefer Blundstones as they fit w/
clips). As long as you were dressed warm, it beat the hell out of walking
on the slushy walk or waiting for the train/bus.
Say hi to the folks at Rapid Transit for me.
