That’s what clothes are for! I live in northern Indiana and ride through most of the winter unless the road conditions feel unsafe. The trick is wearing a second inner layer (easy if you go to work in a collared shirt or fleece) as well as a leather jacket, gloves, and bar mitts (keeps the wind and the snow off your hands). In the spring and fall I keep a light jacket and gloves in my bag just in case it’s unusually cold that day for whatever reason.
That said, some biking to work is better than none!
I basically grew up on a hill in England and that was way colder than Australia (it barely ever even dips sub-zero), so by lunchtime I’m wandering around in a t-shirt. Think the problem is waking up in a house optimised for air circulation but it’s not hot weather.
You should try riding your bike to work, it’s a lot easier and more rewarding than you think
Looks at the highway i would need to take to reach it Thank you for the suggestion, but i think i’ll stick with the train.
Have you tried riding your bike on the train tracks instead of the highway
Oh definitely, if transit is available take that any day. This is aimed more at folks who drive to work
I was doing this until it started getting cold in the morning!
