Bad Weather Bike Commuting

Tuesday, October 4th, 2011

I have a friend in Chicago who regularly commutes to work on his bicycle.  Needless to say, he has ridden through some pretty harsh weather.  He sent me the following video that was shot last week.  Waves from Lake Michigan are seen breaking on the lakefront path and washing out runners and cyclists.  He isn’t […]
