Well I have to admit people who ride their bicycles in the winter in poor snow conditions baffle me for the dangers they put themselves into.

What are the particular dangers to which you refer?

For most of the winter, the roads are cleared (by ploughs, traffic, sun and wind) but 8:30 am. The only danger that keeps me off my bike in the winter are icy ruts on the road - that was a problem for two days last winter and no days so far this winter.

And I'l echo Ryan's experience: cold-weather cycling is, in many ways, easier than warm weather riding since I don't have to worry about sweating - if I start getting warm, I open a button or drop a layer into my basket.
