Ditto. The only time I don't commute by bicycle is when I am too sick, there is snow on the sides of the roads where I ride (no fenders and no suitable tires for it) or if its raining (I absolutely hate rain and cold together). In the summer though, I don't let rain stop me. I just went 2 weeks without commuting on bike and I went about 4 days too long. I had to get back my motivation and it was hard the first day. Having decent clothing and being comfy will help.
