Do you cycle all year round?

[Bimble]

I noticed in some of the other bits of the site that people had come off their bikes a lot this winter, and just wondered if most of you cycle or year round or just in the warmer months?

 

[fossyant]

All year.

Have ice tyres on my MTB for the ice/snow. If I didn't, I wouldn't be riding (I've come off badly on ice in the past).

 

[gaz]

All year, apart from ice and snow, not because i can't, but because i know too many people around my way still drive their rwd bmw's in the ice and they can't control them.

 

[jayonabike]

I try to, weather permitting.

 

[Davidc]

Yes, but not in all weathers.

Ice and snow, no.

Heavy rain, only if I'm already out on the bike.

High winds, not if I can help it.

Cold, yes

Hot, yes

 

[fossyant]

Oh, forgot to add, I have a mostly off road route to work I can do in the ice, so well away from the idiots who can't drive in the conditions.

 

[potsy]

Well, I have cycled in every month of the year if that's what you mean.

Don't do ice or snow, haven't got a mtb or studded tyres.

I like to get out in most weather conditions but last sunday i stepped outside and the main roads where shear ice and i went back in and did a few hours swimming to save on doing some damage to me and my bike

Rain im not bothered about and the wind is great if its behind me if not give me a push please

 

[ianrauk]

Yes I was one of those you probably saw that come off during a heavy frost, last week.

But yes I cycle all year round. Only time I don't is when there is heavy snow and ice..

 

[Iainj837]

All year round

 

[phantasmagoriana]

All year round - studded tyres on my hybrid (came off on ice a few months ago - wasn't hurt, but it convinced me the tyres were a good idea!). I did miss a couple of days commuting last year in the snow, but that was due mainly to lack of visibility in falling snow.

All year round for me Bimble...
Ironically i hate the cold weather but commuting gives me the opportunity to keep some reasonable mileage going during the winter months. I dont go out 'pleasure' riding too much when its freezing, but my commutes not long so i can cope with that.
I think the fear of falling in ice is greater than the reality, ive only come off twice in ..i can't remember how many years.
Snow, no problem...this is mine after a commute to work one morning, head down, squinting eyes from the blizzard of snow..

Summer, the hotter the better. Couple of years ago, it was 32 degrees C, i sweated so much i couldnt undress when i got offf the bike

 

[MossCommuter]

apart from annual leave, every day bar 3 since this time last year.

Three offs on the ice, two on the beer.

MTB (recent purchase) is unfallaoffable compared to the hybrid (on the ice and snow)

 

[numbnuts]

I'm not a snow man and I don't like rain too much

 

[perplexed]

All year round, all weather...

Got home in the early hours last winter with several inches of snow on me helmet...
