I either walk or just hitch a ride. I also found that some of these places weren't as far as I thought they were! Sick - Like you, I figure if I'm too sick to ride, I shouldn't be at work anyhow. The HEAT - Yeah, commuting in this heat can be challenging if you don't want to sweat. Even if your ride is short and you take it easy, it's hard not to get a little sweaty. Riding HOME in the hot summer heat can get really hot, but at least there's a shower waiting for you. I bring shorts for the ride home. Bad Weather - December and January are definitely challenging. The special gear required to make it through the wintry months may be a turn-off to some. Lights, snow gear, studded snow tires, etc. It's actually pretty comfortable during the other cool months though, as you really only need a windbreaker to stay warm. You generate quite a bit of heat riding. It all boils down to how much you want to ride, and how much you hate driving! Meetings – No problems so far. I either walk or just hitch a ride.
