Bicycling for a year

Does anyone know of a comic, online or otherwise detailing the story of someone who starts commuting by bicycle in Winter, discovers cycling subculture in the summer, but discovers themselves once again riding solo come Winter?

To be clear, are you looking for something you think exists, or something you hope exists?

I don't have any specific memory of a comic like that but it sounds a lot like something that would have been a Yehuda Moon strip

It sounds like pretty typical reality, not a story. In the Northeast, group or social riding drops off in cold weather, and even casual rides are short and may not be fun, but commuting knows no off-season.

Is it one of the Bikeyface strips?

Response by poster: Ooof, you got me filthy! It's a comic I hope exists. Asking on behalf of a friend.

I'd say that if it's not already a Yehuda Moon or Bikeyface thread, it's something you'll have to draw for yourself.

Best answer: Sauceome comic strip features learning to ride a bike through all weather. Quite inspirational.
