Every day for the past 3 years. Can be a challenge during the winter in Michigan, sub-zero temps, wind chill, ice, heavy snow. After about 10 minutes of riding it feels like 15 degrees. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I'm claiming 5/5, even though I don't ride in icy weather (usually end of Dec. til about Valentine's Day here). Unless conditions are so bad that the bus is a necessity, I'm pedaling.

Last summer I only commuted by bike like twice a week at best. This summer I want to bring it up to four times a week as long as I don't have to be anywhere late after work.

As a slight irony, I work in the auto industry!

i only do 2 days a week, it's 60 miles round trip, 15 of the each way is highway, not the best commute in the world, but the days i get to ride are my favorite

the only thing on this planet i hate MORE than DRIVING TO WORK is DRIVING HOME. i ride. last thursday the snow was not sticking to the roads but it was sticking to my clothes as it fell from the sky. in january it was eight degrees above zero (not celcius) and i promise i had more fun on my bicycle than anyone driving. i hate driving. i do if REAAAAAAAAAAAAALY have too. but i'd just rather not. i look forward to going to work cuz i get to RIDE there. i look forward to going home cuz i ride there and it's not work. it's home. i'd rather freeze or sweat or both than be stuck in traffic. who the heck invented cars...... anyway**********

I ride almost every day that I can, which averages 3 days a week. I work in a different city on occasion, and I don't really like riding in rain, so I skip bad weather days in favor of public transit. Not that a little shower bothers me, but I hate riding in a real downpour (esp. on the towpath! Fenders or not, it's tough to keep clean, and those puddles get deep!)

I have ridden all 5 days many times, and I've ridden as little as zero some weeks.
