I used to commute every day regardless of the weather. Circumstances have now changed. Going to see my kids twice during the week means I need to take the car. Then there is every other Friday when I pick them up for the weekend. Add to that the fact I can make the 80 mile return journey just as quick in the car as I can on the bike. There really isn't much point using the bike. Riding the bike along dual carriage ways and motorways isn't really exciting. I'd rather be sat in the warm listening to the radio. Moved to where I currently live in March last year and I think the bike came out of the garage twice. One of those times was to take the bike for an MOT. It's more exspensive for me to ride the bike. So I have gone from riding the bike nearly every day of the year, to riding the bike hardly ever. Don't get to ride the bike at weekends as family life has priority.

Hopefully the situation will change a bit this year and the bike see's a little more daylight than it did last year. As for riding in all weathers. So long as you have the right kit, it doesn't really make all that much difference what the weather is doing.
