Why?

I HAVE to cycle to work. I'm sure not going to walk!!! 8-)

For me the cars don't really matter much in the winter. Mostly they're
all backed up and I pass 'em all. 8-) Those little fender benders
slow down the traffic to 5mph. 

You only ride if the roads are clear? WIMP!!!! 8-)

I have more fun when there is a fresh layer of snow on the ground.
It's really tough when it's slush!!
