With todays snow (grrrrr) here's a well timed couple of notes:
1. Good short history on the indoor bike trainer... and a plug

2. Of course for winter riding ideally you have a job you can bike commute to, and you're willing to do so. The Bike Calgary website has a few good articles on winter riding. Really it's not that hard, just takes a stubborn approach, sucking it up, and getting past the first 10mins until you warm up and settle in.
