I've had no other vehicles than bikes since 1985 so to get to work in any weather* it's cycle however the 'leisure cycling' is a lot less in winter. Just remember there's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes.
* I was working at a plastic extruders located at the back end of Narborough some years ago and when I looked out it was snowing so I dragged the appropriate bike out of the shed and set off a bit early.I was the only person apart from Paul (who lived nearby and walked in) to be on time for my 12hr nightshift but as the rest struggled in they were all saying I'd passed them as the cars slid along at walking pace.
