     My advice is to be flexible. Don't get into a frame of mind where you
feel that you must cycle to work, no matter what the road conditions. You
can usually deal with poor conditions if you are the only one out there 
but the cars must be considered in the equation. I commute all year
round by bike but I ride only if the roads are clear and the weather is
promising.
