I went to a popular bikers cafe on the 2nd of January a couple of years ago as it was an absolutely glorious day. We were the only bikers actually on bikes and there were a fair few who were envious cos there bike was tucked up in the shed.
I'm not suggesting to ride through snow and storms etc but there's plenty of good days.
Get trawling ebay and gumtree for a cheap bike to keep those winter blues at bay.
These days snow/ice are the only elements i refuse to ride in, although even that didn't stop me years ago.
The main roads tend to be looked after very well, but the road i live on only gets 2 or 3 hours of direct sun on it before it starts getting dark so if the temperature stays low then the ice just stays put until it warms up again.
Fortunately i have a colleague who lives a few roads away and he gives me a lift whenever necessary as he works the same hours.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
