I have to bring this thread back after a recent discussion I had with a coworker. For those of you who don't know, I began to commute to work on my bike almost exclusively in June of this year. I enjoyed it so much that I dreaded giving it up for winter, so I adapted and got ready for winter commuting. My habit has become a subject of regular discussion for many of my coworkers, with some beginning to call me "Lance". My recent addition of a new winter bike and studded tires has added to this ongoing discussion. Even though we have only had one icy day and one day of significant snow covering on the roads, one of my coworkers approached me and asked "you don't really ride in the snow, do you?". I explained that the cars are more of a concern than the abilities of me or my bike. Honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed the snowy day and felt like I had conquered the world. It was such a rush that I am actually looking forward to the next time it happens. If everyone else knew this feeling of accomplishment was available, they would all be on bikes when it is snowing.
