I think dramiscram wins the badass award for this thread, though jrickards might be in second place.

It was 9°F yesterday morning and about 13°F this morning. We don't get temperatures like this often, but it's been amazingly pleasant. It's windy, but humidity is low, low, low, and I'm sure the air pressure is high, which is the most important factor to my overall mood. Unfortunately, I haven't been riding my bike. I'm psyching myself up to become as badass as you folks and commute more often. I don't average once a week yet, but I'm making slow progress.

If you can make bike commuting a habit, there's no reason I can't. It's 13 miles each way for me, and I recently found a better route home that skips the dark country road. My new route is a little more urban, which makes me feel safer.
