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:

1. Maintain a base level of fitness over the winter
2. 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
3. Increase my tolerance for the cold weather
4. Answer that perennial question, “You didn’t ride your bike today, did you?.”
