A cold but dry December is giving way to a January promising plenty of scattered showers.

The weather report for the next few days includes chances for wind and rain; will the weather keep you indoors with your bicycle tucked in a dry garage, or will you be out riding?

Anyone looking to stretch their legs, rain or shine, might want to check out the New Years Day Ride put on by the Bicycle Transportation Alliance. This year’s ride starts at noon under the west end of the Morrison Bridge.

If you are headed out for a ride this weekend, what (if any) accommodations are you making for the weather? Where are you and your bike heading?

Got any bike-related resolutions for 2012? Independent Film Channel (IFC) asked Jonathan for his resolution on their Portlandia Blog. Check it out here.

Happy New Year!

(Note: We’re not done looking back at 2011 just yet; stay tuned for our Year in Pictures post.)
