I'm definitely in this club. I had to leave my bike at the LBS last night because my BB is being overhauled and the shop owner and I couldn't get the drive side off due to corrosion from all my winter riding. I'll be there bright and early to get back to work on it just to make sure I don't miss another commute this week. I missed my Tuesday commute because of the mixture of icy roads, snow and insane winds and temps. Somewhere around -40 F windchills when I left work with a co-worker whose vehicle didn't start without the aid of a jump. We nearly froze just getting her car started. Although the whole time I was thinking, "you know this wouldn't be so bad on the bike since it's mostly a tailwind." I'm still glad I didn't attempt it, even though it was tempting...of course the wife definitely had a say in it
