Clear road routes

I'm going out riding today, and I'm trying to decide what will be the best route to avoid ice patches and traffic. I'm tempted to do my usual up to north park around and back.


What have you ridden and what is good right now?

That is, I am allowed to ride on the road right? There's suddenly been some controversy about this.

Once you get clear of the zoo hill, the

roads are great. The city freaking sucks.

Take the lane & sweep the leg.

Yeah the city only plows enough for one car to go through in neighborhoods and plows the snow into the bike lanes elsewhere. In Rochester, NY, there are parking restrictions so that cars can only park on one side of the road. A plow will come through and clear one side of the street. The next night, parking will be restricted on the other side of the road so that the rest can be cleared.
