I've been telling myself to ride like this, because it makes it much easier to get out on the bike on a cold, windy, grey day. I tell myself: dammit man! Don't worry about speed, ambling along is better than nothing! And I did 25 miles yesterday. Have to repeat it today, though: 10*F this morning at 7:15 am.
OTOH, once I get on the bike and warm up (literally and figuratively) I feel energetic and like to go conquer hills. I'd say at least 3/4 of my riding is errands and commuting with detours.
