What that article describes as a ‘winter bike’ seems like what I’ve traditionally used as a year-round commuter bike, and my only bike.
Edit to add: Mind you, I live in a sub-tropical climate, so a bit of torrential rain, and a bit of hail once in a blue moon, is the worst I can expect. Still, this article seems to have been written by one of the ‘licorice all-sorts crew’ as I call them, whom I’ve never understood (my younger brother is one of them, and he’s an insufferable dickhead), and ‘The Hardest Rider You Know’ is just the average daily bike commuter, imo.
