(Oops! No bike forecast yesterday. Sorry. Life is busy.)
Thursday: looks all right… except for that PM wind. Oy.
Overall: high 79, low 69, 20% chance of rain, 80% humidity
AM: high 70s, mostly cloudy, 15% chance of rain
PM: high 70s, partly cloudy, windy as heck from the north-northeast
How windy is it?
Okay, maybe not quite that windy. But 16mph is a lot, and if you’re commuting to the north in the evening, I’m sorry for your headwinds.
Our advice: consider avoiding the Lake Front Trail in the PM. Surface streets should be calmer, climatologically speaking.
DIVVY REPORT: RIP 29th and State. It’s official: station removed from the system. Other up-to-the-minute updates here.

Spotted on the road…
This is Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, NY. The oldest bike path in the country, built in 1894. (More on this later, maybe.)
OVERALL COMMUTE RATING:
2.75/4. All right!
