But for this thread, I'm thinking more in terms of weather, environmental conditions, road surfaces, etc. to describe your local area.
What is it like where you are?
Does it affect your ability to be car-free or car-light?
Does it have an effect on your cycling?
First snowfall of the winter, so I naturally went for a ride. Wasn't too bad. The the arterial streets were partly clear heading out and wet coming back. As a result "feeder" routes were pretty icy by the time I made my way home and the residential streets were just packed down and ideal to ride on both ways.
