This has turned into a broader topic than the original post, and I'm cool with that. Some people ride a bike for fun or exercise or both. I do, too, but the rides usually coincide with going somewhere I need to go. Most of my rides are between home and work. It's part of my exercise regime, and cycling is also soul work for me, so it's not a luxury but a necessity. But since I commute on bike, the weather is less of a factor in my decision of whether to ride or not. Today's weather here in NYC is cool and overcast. If I rode for pleasure only, I might look out and decide against it. I had a gusty, shifty headwind the whole way. I might call that unpleasant. But it was pleasant, and I can't remember many commuting rides I've taken where I regret doing them, wishing I had taken the subway instead. A bad day on the bike is usually better than a good day on the subway.

And like [MENTION=53807]Bob Ross[/MENTION], I like it when the bike routes are emptier due to so-called bad weather. Our bike routes are crowded like just about everything else in this densely packed city. I live and work in Manhattan, the densest part of the city.
