Why would you bike commute in the winter?
I only have the time and inclination to obtain my excercise on my daily bike commute since it fits so well into my day, and I enjoy cycling. More specifically for winter commuting:
- Maintain a base level of fitness over the winter
- Meet the challenges of winter cycling, in particular acquiring and/or innovating my winter equipment, and seeing how well it prepares me to take on further challenges
- Increase my tolerance for the cold weather
- Answer that perennial question, “You didn’t ride your bike today, did you?.”
