I decided to take my car to work this last week when the weather turned cold... 34 degrees Fahrenheit and winds up to 20mph... Then I came across this brave woman who is biking (also skiing and kite riding) to the South Pole:
"I've decided to start my Polar Challenge on my ice bike as I'm determined to prove that you can ride part of the way to the South Pole."
She arrived in Antarctica on December 23 then spent 12 days acclimatising in sub zero temperatures....
She will now travel up to 14 hours a day in the coldest and windiest place on earth, where she is likely to encounter blizzards, winds of up to 80mph and temperatures as low as -50 Celsius.

So, I wondered what are the general weather limits for commuter biking...
Wind? Rain? Snow? Cold? Heat?
