Winter riding sucks. Not so much because of the cold, because you can dress properly to maintain comfort (I rode a few days that were -30C before windchill) but because of the decreased maneuverability you have riding in conditions with less traction. It feels a lot less safe to be riding at the side of the road with cars passing you in the snow than it does to be riding out in the lane at the speed of traffic in the summer.
