Any of you peeps cycle to work in throughout the winter ?.....

I am soon to move to the "burbs" and therefore going to have more of commute to deal with ....used to run to work in London occasionally ........but me thinks that the Acres (NW) is going to be a little to far for that.....

I ride in the summer. I absolutely loath the idiots who do it in the winter. They wobble along in the dark, unlit, getting stuck in drifts and skidding on the streetcar tracks, unstable and invisible, and they get all bent out of shape if you so much as bump them a bit with the car. It's not sensible, just some gay/macho cross over thing, better kept to the gym. Do it if you must but, please, don't complain if someone who cannot see you, splats you like a tomato when you tumble in the path of his car.

Where do you work?
There are good cycle path along the Bow River towards town, but I don't think you'll be doing it when it gets real cold!

Calgary Stock exchange down town.......... so uh didnt think about the fact it will definitely be dark........what time does the sun rise in the winter months?

Bike paths are a whole other thing, if I can work half a day and go through the parks, I'll ride in the winter. It's just riding on the road that's not sensible.

After 8:00 am for the entire month of December and January.

Here you go sunrise and sunset tables for December for Calgary, links beneath for other months.

You go to work in the dark and come home in the dark!

But not to worry! Canada Olympic Park has floodlights ..... will nobody come and take skiing lessons with me?????

If i was over there, i would, as i've never skied, and kinda think i should give it a go if i'm going to be living near all the white stuff, alas i doubt we'll be there till nxt year (so let me know how you get on !!)
