I've never been to Wisconsin, but I rode my bike 7 miles to work (and 7 miles back) for a couple years in upstate NY, including rain and lake-effect snow. Claims of danger and insanity are often exaggerated. With fenders, lights, and proper tires, I never had any trouble with the weather. I remember riding past rows of houses where people were digging their cars out, or having trouble getting the engine to start. Fun times.
