I am a student in toronto. I bike about 9.2 km to school one way every day, regardless of weather. I actually sort of wish it could get colder and snowier. I like being the last man biking (as conditions get worse) I think I've got some kind of brain thing
. I had a teacher at my school who is a fairweather cyclist tell me that I'm not being brave or manly (I wasn't really trying) but foolhardy by biking. I just told him I was sorry that he felt that way, and that I'll ride till the day I die.
