I know this question has probably been asked but a quick search with he word "cold" got me all sorts of winter cycling posts to filter through. Since I am under the weather I and not fully functional too lazy to filter and search better.

At the moment when I am sick, or if its raining too hard, or its winter, I have the luxury of just driving to work. But soon the wife will be signing off on the idea of going down to one car and since I am all jacked up with some kind of virus I wondered what would I have done if we where down to just one car? Yes I live in a city with darn good public transport but personally I despise taking the bus when I am 100% healthy, cant imagine if I had to take it today.

Yes I can work remotely from home, but I only use that for emergencies or if the kid needs to stay home for school, so I don't want to abuse that one.

So what do you guys do when you catch a bug? Do you suck it up and just pedal slower? Do you hitch a ride? or just drive in that day (or week)?
