>>40 km = 24 miles, seems a bit long for a daily commute
Agreed. I'll probably only do the full commute in the spring-fall, though I should be able to take transit half way if it ends up being a nightmare. Even if I only bike for a week out of a month, I'm already saving cash. I have a gym at work so biking in then showering/etc is doable, and then I'm using my company's water for the morning routine, not mine.
In addition to saving cash on transit tickets and parking, my health has gotten a lot better this year and I don't want it to go downhill during the so-called "inactive" months.
Thanks for the advice on the fenders and tires, I'll look into it and I'll make sure I test the hell out of my bike in a safe parking lot or something the first time it snows/freezes/etc.
Clothing wise it looks like clamshell outer layer and one or two layers inside are going to be best. The under-helmet cap idea is a great one, I'll make sure to grab something for that. Also, I'm going to see about some decent gloves.
