Who commutes all through Winter ?
And what distances are we doing on that commute ?
Ive been pretty lucky with ice thats the only reason Id not commute sometimes.
IIRC my Edinburgh commute I did for 5 years was 8miles round for 5 days a week. Roads were really well gritted and I roade bus routes on icy days
Down south roads are less well gritted.
My Old Peterborough commute was just 3 miles round on icy days did that for 5 days a week for 2 years (although on god days it would be extended).
My Newark Commute was 14miles but on really icy days Id park closer to the office (I did that 5 days a week for 5 years)
My Old Cambridge Commute was something like 25miles round and I'd do that 4 days a week (my coach had me resting on the 5th day) and I had the bail out of the Guided Bus when it was icy (I did that for 3years)
My Hertford commute was 28miles round but in the covid period initially so I was only in the office 1 or 2 days a week and not at all during lockdown.
My current commute (2 days a week) started at 26miles round but I moved and it ended up being 36miles at first then 9.6miles round when I realised by going direct I could after my move make group rides, and when its looked like ice I've just messaged the boss and worked from home (I dont recall having to do that since I shortened it).
