I miss my daily commute (moved to a home office in 2015); I got a reminder about how much I liked started my day on a bike when Lisa left her office shoes at home. I got no my bike to deliver them, only 3 miles one-way ... so 6 miles at 25F with snowy/icy trails (no need to ride roads from own house to her office). I wish my Pugsley with studs wasn't stuck in the shop - some of the trails in her office complex were un-plowed after the 2-3" of fresh snow - but the gravel bike with 700x45c tires was up to the challenge. The best part of the ride was riding past a couple kids waiting for the school bus, one girl tells me it's not a good idea to ride a bike in the winter, I said it's a great idea with the right bike and gear ... after thinking about it, she replied she doesn't have the right bike.
