And that's another problem for me, I keep my bike inside at home and work and don't want to bring a wet snowy bike inside. I take my shoes off at the door so I don't mess up the carpets in this weather too.
One should never feel the need to apologize or explain why he doesn't ride a bike in cold, wet, or otherwise lousy weather.
You ride a bike to work by choice, and can not ride at any time for any reason, or for no reason at all.
