Winter biking tips--from winter bikers

>> Stick to the main streets. Most of Chicago's main streets are good for winter riding even after a big snow because the city keeps them plowed for drivers. Resist the temptation to move to the sidewalks, which often are snowier and icier on bad days. "Do not move to the sidewalks," Rafael Suarez said. "You think it will be better, but it will just be worse."
