Darker days
I rode in to work this morning, starting at about 7:45 am, which is about as early as I can comfortably start now. It's a little frightening riding down the hill next to La Buissière in twilight.
I'll also have to leave by 6 pm, since it's starting to get dark earlier. Batteries power the lights on my bike. It's enough perhaps to be seen, but not enough to see crud in the road.
Furthermore, 10 degrees Celsius (50 F) is about as cold as you want it to be before you consider other methods of locomotion.

I used to ride to MSU when we were in Lansing in the winter. Parka tied up to my nose and stopping to blow it every so often because of the 17 degree weather and I'm not talking Celsius. Don't know if I would do that now.
