Campus bike route along Walnut was in good condition today (as of 12:30), except bike lane appears still not plowed to full width along south end of Walnut. Pavement from Walnut to Lakeshore dorms is very clear.
Temin-Lakeshore Path in very good condition. 2' to 5' ribbon is cleared to the sand and gravel base along most of the distance, except just before the Limnology Lab, which is covered in thin, soft and bikeable packed snow crust. Damp along some places, and a little back-splashy in others. Very safe overall. Sympathies to Mitch and any others who slipped today before the warm-up!

I rode to work about 8:30 this morning, and everything was fine until I turned onto the Southwest/Missing Link path at Randall Avenue. I rode a few yards down the path, and then the bike slipped under me, and I landed on my knee, which is still throbbing as I write. As I lay on the pavement, I watched another biker, right behind me, fall. The streets I rode on this morning were just fine -- wet but not slippery. The bike path pavement looked like the streets -- until I examined it closely -- but it was *not* fine. By the time you read this, the ice on the bike paths may have melted, and they may be perfectly bikeable. But I would advise caution. _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [email protected] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
