Last weekend we had more snow. It was the sort of drifty and pretty kind, and means that we're living in a winter wonderland again.
When I arrived over at the playschool for teaching, one of the recess supervisors looked at me like I was insane and said, "You must REALLY want to ride your bike if you do it in weather like this!"
To which I replied, "It's so much faster than walking."
And that's the main reason why I ride instead of walk. It accelerates my pedestrianism!
So when I get "YOU'RE CRAZY" looks from people, I just remember that I'm efficient. Why walk and slip on the sidewalk when I can just barrel through the snow and roll up to work?

You go, girl!
Biking (or walking, for that matter) to a destination is just a completely different mindset for most people in North America, where the default is the personal automobile.
We definitely need to share the benefits of our preferred mode of transportation whenever we get the chance.
Love your reply -- might also add that it can be faster than driving, since you can skip the step of clearing the snow and ice off your car.
