    I throw studded tires on my bike in about 15 minutes and go about my day as normal. It takes about 30-60 minutes to do the same to my car and I’m sore for a couple days after. Also, unless I’m driving 5+ miles, the car is usually slower or equal in time for the commute. The bike is faster and far easier to maintain. The commute isn’t much different, but I’m forced to ride sidewalks because my city plows into the bike lanes. Maybe if I had a car with heated seats, I’d miss the car.

    On the bike, I fall probably once per season, but that’s always the result of doing something reckless like jumping over a small snow bank or riding into large chunks of ice that I should have gone around.
