I have a short commute, but yes...I go in rain/snow/sleet (but not hail). My main commuter has a ti frame, great tires for bad weather and I feel pretty good taking it anywhere, any time. In real snow/ice I can toss on some studded tires. I was actually made it into the news a few years back for riding in the blizzard...just a background shot of me riding past and the weather person making a joke about it.
