Year-Round Cycling

I rode my bike to work for the first day this month. Last year I rode almost the entire winter; however, I had one fairly serious crash on black ice that put my bike out of commission for over a week so I've been a bit hesitant to really tough it out this year. My new goal is to ride at least 25% of each month through the winter. The first part of December has been somewhat challenging, however, mostly due to snow but also to generally low temperatures. This morning it warmed up to a comparatively balmy 42 degrees so I hit the road. It was nice to be back in the saddle.
