Chicago Bike Winter -- Tips for Winter Biking

I have been trying to get motivated to start commuting again in the face of some pretty crappy weather and roads around here, and I am finding this page for Chicago Bike Winter to be a source of excellent tips - the main one being that winter biking really requires nothing so much as the determination to do it. (Well, a bike is helpful as well.) I rode a lot last winter, and it's really not so bad - you get pretty warm as soon as you've been riding a bit. It's just getting over that first inertial impulse. I'm a little nervous about riding in NYC on wet pavement (my latest excuse), but I think I may try taking the Brompton in tom'w.

Even though you feel warm, be sure to dress warm because thats how people catch the flu..

Or so I'm told..

Well, out here in Las Vegas, you could definately winter bike! What you might not want to do is SUMMER BIKE!
