I hadn't to ridden for at least 5 years because of health. I bought my e bike just so I could commute and save time over the bus. here in portland we have only had a couple days with frost but I was able to ride. the weather has not been bad enough to need studs then I would ride the bus as it would only last a day or two. I actually keep warmer riding then I do waiting for the bus. last year I struggled to keep warm even with a high end ski jacket. Now even if it is 30 I don't really have any issues. I needed some electric gloves to keep my hands warm as anything below about 46 even the best cycling gloves failed me. But I feel os much better riding that I don't mind doing the same thing every day.
