All year I've had a bunch of people asking me if I'm going to keep doing it when the weather gets rough, and as the winter weather started they were more surprised that I was riding than impressed, but I've been careful to point out that the weather here is only bad for a handful of days all winter, and "annoying" the rest of the time. Then one of the bad days hit and I got home in < 30 minutes while most of the people who drove to work needed 2+ hours to get home. Guy with the office across from mine took 30 minutes to drive home, but only after 2 hours of sitting in the parking garage trying to get out.

Two of them pulled their bikes out of storage to ride in next time the weather gets awful. The streets were like a parking lot, making the bike ride a whole lot safer, and my work buddy that I ride with and I just pedaled right on past them. It was pretty awesome My favorite part, however, was the parking lot behind my apartment building. Hadn't been cleared at all and the snow was almost up to my hubs. I rode through it like it was empty and clear and finally made it through the gate without pausing... of course then a girl walking a dog startled me enough to fall off, but it was great anyay
