Kevin, C. 1995 I bike commuted pretty much year round from near the Braddock Metro station to the Pentagon. So that was a mile or so of streets through Old Town and then the path along the Potomac. As I recall it was usually pretty doable; I certainly remember riding on many cold days (and still use the same windproof tights). I don't remember what tires I used but probably studded. For sure that is all I would use now in the cold because even if roads and trails are clear, there is always the danger of black ice in the shady spots. My Nokian studded tires roll right over that stuff even if I am late seeing it.
