Couldn't agree more! Nothing like a good winter commute. Started my day today with a Northeast wind in my face with snow/sleet coming down and ground the ten miles to my office on my winter bike with studs, my heavy boots and rain/snow gear.

Rode home in the dark on black ice and whipped by a wind out of the Northwest that cut across the Charles River. Oddly enough I couldn't have been happier. My relatively modest commute turns into an expedition and I arrive home pretty wiped out, tired and hungry but really happy.
