Winter workout: How to bike and run in the cold Folks who ride a bike to work will tell you that there's simply no better way to commute. It's often the fastest way to get to work, it offers an array of route options, and, unlike driving or taking public transportation, doing it regularly is actually good for you.

LOOK Guys. The snow melted everywhere except in the shadow of the bikes. Even mother nature is no match for us bikers!! http://m.imgur.com/3pnYNHu
