yah... I''ll ride in the rain - I don't mind it at all. But I haven't done ice/snow since I was a kid and learned that hard way that bikes and ice don't mix. And honestly - my last commute was better at night - more trails, very little on surface streets. My current commute is just a few too many miles on not-so-bike-friendly streets to begin with, in broad daylight. I don't need to ride... so I only ride when I feel safe. Even as a conscientious driver - during the winter when it's dark, it's just really damn difficult to see a bicyclist - even when they're lit up like they're at burning man.
