The portion that was plowed was a mixed use path where just the cycling side had been cleared and could reasonably be shared by both parties.

Look, this place is generally bike style agnostic and I respect that but I'm not in the wait for warm weather, recreational, non-utility camp. So I have to go out in the snow because bike handling is important to me. I'm actually fairly good at snow; there were more than a few tricky patches (at a few points accompanied by ill timed crosswinds) that I rode through and over like ringing a bell. I just don't have my typical in-traffic sangfroid.janinedmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-88511399504932839032017-03-15T21:12:42.012-04:002017-03-15T21:12:42.012-04:00You're telling me the Dale Diner AND the River...You're telling me the Dale Diner AND the Riverdale Diner were closed, but the Bronx Ale House was open?
