    What's wrong with commuting in the snow at 10 degrees? It was -4C (not sure what that translates to in F, but it's not warm) and snowing today when I was heading home from work.....on my bike....fantastic weather if you ask me!

    I think -4 degrees C is like 26 degrees F. So it is still 16 degrees lower then your ride yesterday.

    I did cycle to campus every day through the winter when I was living in Illinois. Minus lots of degrees and windchills even lower with lots of ice and snow on the ground at times. The trick is to bundle up and have hot chocolate waiting in the office when you get there. Still better than scraping the ice off the car waiting for it to warm up then drive around looking for parking pay lots of money to park and have to walk from the car to the office.

    Ok, I still think you are hard core then elephant. I hate the cold but I live in a place that has two or three months out of the year 0c is a warm high. And many times we start measuring snow at 6 inches.The only way you could even ride down main roads sometimes is very carefully on a moutain bike, and don't stop or your'll get bogged down.
