I classify my rides a bit differently. I have an "A" bike for perfect weather conditions during the non winter months. I have a "B" bike for good winter weather conditions as by that time the "A" bike is in the trainer in the basement. Then there is the "C" bike which is used for foul weather days, usually during the winter, which in my neck of the woods are not as common as you would think. As for the really, really lousy days I take the Passat!!
