How well can it accommodate you and your bike?

Toronto's transit system is great if you live near the downtown core area, or somewhere close to the subway line, and if I lived and worked there it wouldn't be an issues. But because I'm in the suburbs the buses don't run as often and it'd involve a substantial amount of walking it didn't make sense for me to use it. I figure on a day like yesterday it'd have taken me just about as long to use transit as it is to run.
I ended up leaving the bike at work. Conditions were just bad this morning, so I opted to drive there.
None of us are too please with the late fall snow.
