I commute 5 days a week weather permiting only rain when I leave stops me.
Its not a long commute at 5 miles one way leaving around 5:30am lights on packing my lunch and with a pair of shoes at work to change into with an extra 10 min. for flats only have had one to date on my way to work.
My co-worker rides 2-3 days a week with a 8 mile ride one way.
I don't see many others at that time but its kind of early for most to ride with the cold weather.
