I got out the studded tire rig for 4 days, it's parked again.
above 0C, i have different bike, I like better. |
By your measurement scheme, I only hit 25%, or once a week, for all practical purposes. However, this met my goal for this January, which was a month filled with days I couldn't practically ride for reasons beyond my immediate control.
For February, my goal is probably similar, but if the weather stays mild, I will easily exceed that (I've got #1 for the month under my belt already). |
14 out of 18 work days, or 77% Rode the bus one day, drove car 3 times.
Good on you 100%ers! |
9 out of 14 possible days. For the most part weather hasn't been the factor. First week back I was still recovering from a flu, I work at home some days, had to drop the kids a few times, and had to collect parcels requiring a car (including 50kg of homebrew ingredients to kick off the year!).
So while not great, not horrible. |
7 out of 20, a new January record for me, now on my 7th year of commuting. I usually only average 12-14 days a month even during the ‘good’ 3 seasons for reasons other than weather. Still been getting almost 3000 miles a year though.
|
This seems like the easiest January I've ever had, and 20 commutes was no hardship at all. A flat just as I was rolling out last week stopped a streak of 62 commutes.
|
Super easy this winter. This January was warmer and drier than last year in Minneapolis. 87" of snow last year, maybe 10-20" so far this year.
|
I rode every work day in January here in the Chicago area. Even the snow storm days. Approximately 660 miles commuting for work. Probably a little less than 80 miles for other errands.
|
I ride 7 days a week. This includes commuting to work, shopping ,running errands and recreational riding. This is my 5th winter and it's been the warmest, most snow-free winter ever.

As for me, I only commuted twice in January. But hey, it's the first time I've attempted to. |
27 out of 31 days. Its been cold here in So Cal. I have had to put on arm warmers on a few days.
|
Hard for me to gauge the percentage because I can only commute either two or three days a week depending on our school's rotating schedule (I teach first period half the time, and it's always two in a row, so in a five day week, so a three day week will either be MT&F or MTh&F and a two day week will either be a TW or a WTh. I'll say this--every day I could commute in January according to my schedule, I did. About 280 commuting miles (a 23 mile round-trip commute), and some of those commuting miles aren't work commutes, but other car trips I saved, so let's say 10 times and we're in the ball park.
I am loving it! |
I've commute 13 of 21 workdays.
Reasons for days missed: 2 - No studded tires yet 2 - sick/recovering 1 - kid was sick 1 - mechanical issues 1 - roads were just too icy after some serious freezing grain 1 - bellow -20C and I didn't have my cycling boots yet I was aiming for 3 days a week minimum and I beat that. |

The first half of the month was pretty great considering January is usually a bitterly cold and snow filled month. But this year the winter has been incredible! Too bad the last half of the month was filled with far flung errands so my total was less than I could've ridden. Still, I've never cycled a bit over 100 miles in January! Pretty awesome for me!
|
My best Jan. ever 7 commuting days, 158 miles! Could have been more but had some appointments and middle of the night call ins resulting in 18-24hr shifts where I took the car. It usually isn't the cold that stops me as much as the road conditions. I have more miles on the bike this winter than I do on my plow truck!
|
A miserable 125 miles on 7 commutes and no weekend rides. I lost a week to oncall, days to heavy rain and then a cold beat me up. I started off so well and I feel like I lost a lot of good opportunities with mild weather. OTOH, this is the best January ever! OK, I've never ridden in January, so it's a politician-style statement.
|
I took 1 day off because of multiple DR appointments in opposite sides of town. Went through the pacific NW snowpocalypse w/ flying colors. Had some peds/coworkers tell me I was crazy for riding through the snow, ironic that I was the one helping cars get out of stuck snow situations and not the other way around.
|
I commute 4 times a week on average no matter what time of year just because I usually set one day a week aside to run errands. This has been the wimpiest winter I can remember.

Out of 20 commuting days, biked 13 (126 miles), took the bus 6 times, and drove once (had an appointment before work).

I spent half of January in Portland which had one of the mildest winters they have ever seen, and their winters are already pretty mild.
Came back Canuckistan where you could have played ice hockey on many of the roads and had a week of riding where studs were mandatory and had some freaky cold and then the latter half of the month has been unseasonably warm... it felt more like March. |
Things have been pretty wimpy here in Milwaukee too. There hasn't been much snow, and the cold doesn't really bother me once I get moving. I did all 21 work days in January for a total of about 420 miles. I was actually excited when we finally did get some snow, because I've had my mountain bike w/front snow tire all ready to go since November. I had never ridden through snow before, so I was anxious to try it out. I never expected to be able to ride to work every day this school year, but if February is anything like January, it just might happen...
|
I averaged between 4/5 or 5/5 for the month, with the exceptions being due to sleeping in rather than weather. It's been really mild here this winter, with maybe a couple dozen days below 20F, and no days below 0, with little to no snow accumulation on the roads.
|
Still waiting for winter to rear it's ugly head here!
Commuted 5 out of 22 days. I'm not a diehard, I'll bike if the temps are above 25 F and the roads are clear, otherwise I drive. But hey, that's 5 days more than I had expected to bike in January! Oh, and I'm 2 for 2 in February so far! :D |
