Biking to work is the number one thing I miss now that I work from home. I highly recommend it to everyone.
I didn't used to bike to work this time of year, because the path I'd use is covered in snow, but even in upstate New York, riding in March and November is surprisingly enjoyable with the right gear.
- awjr 12y agoThat working from home can be an exercise trap. I spent the last 6 months with a startup and exercise started dropping off rather quickly towards the end. Ended up making sure I rode with friends twice a week...usually to a pub but it wasn't about losing weight, just keeping up a general level of fitness.
- randlet 12y agoYup. It's totally feasible to bike year round in many places even in the winter. I rode a bike ~6km to work year round in Ottawa, Canada where temperatures were routinely lower than -10C (14F) (my coldest day riding was -31C (-24F)). I find riding in a couple inches of snow to be quite enjoyable but it can become overly burdensome when it gets too deep. The main thing is to just dress appropriately and take your time. There's quite a few blog articles you can find about tips for bike commuting in the winter.
