It’s time for another Streetsblog Network slide show. This time, in honor of the frosty weather enveloping much of the country (and the world), we’re looking for your pictures of cycling in inclement conditions. Snow, ice, extreme cold — we know that you’re out there riding in it. At least some of you.

Here’s your chance to show unbelievers how fabulous cold-weather riding can be. Or, if you’re watching from the sidelines, go ahead and snap a few pictures of some of the bundled-up folks you see braving the freeze.

Send your JPEGs to sarah [at] streetsblog [dot] org, or tag them with "winterbikes" and "streetsblog" in Flickr. Get them to me by Wednesday, January 13, and we’ll post the results soon after.

In the meantime, check out some of our past slide shows: kids on bikes, work bikes, and space hogs.

On Potato Omelets and Winter Cycling

By Alex Marshall |
A Spanish tortilla, unlike the Mexican version, is essentially a potato omelet. You fry some diced-up onions and potatoes in oil, and then pour in some beaten egg. Flip it over, and voila, you have a tasty, round golden thing to cut into slices and eat. Back when I was living in Spain some 25 […]

Photo Call: Families on Transit Where You Live

By Sarah Goodyear |
Kids just want to have fun — and they have a surprising amount of it on transit. (Photo: Sarah Goodyear) It’s time for another Streetsblog Network user-generated slide show, this one about families riding transit. A couple of weeks ago, we wrote a post about family-friendly transit that generated quite a bit of response. There […]

Eyes on the Street: Parking Anarchy and Icy Biking

By Ben Fried |
We’ve got a few post-blizzard shots from the Streetsblog Flickr pool to share this afternoon. Reader BicyclesOnly took this pic of the Sands Street approach to the Manhattan Bridge, crammed full of parked cars this Sunday. Apparently, in the anything goes period after the blizzard, the bike path became a de facto parking lane and […]
