Winter doesn't make biking impossible, just challenging. Get a basic aluminum mountain bike, put studded tires on it, and dress pretty much the same as you would for skiing (but with right pant cuff held down somehow). Make sure to clean salt off the bike, or you'll have to replace components more often.

I locked up my care for a summer and biked to the coffee shop and grocery store every day.Before long I was taking 5 mile bike rides on the spur of the moment. I lost about 35 pounds that summer. Unfortunately, I live somewhere that has a winter which makes biking impossible. I should have switched to cross country skiing or something I guess... if only they groomed ski paths on the side of the street.
