Do you cycle all year round?

[lanternrouge]

this is my first winter as a cyclist and i think i'd go mad if i couldn't go out. Snow does stop me (i have road bike) but have started spin classes as a way of getting some extra exercise. bring on the lighter evenings!

Snow, heavy rain & very high winds = no.

From -10c to +40c, dry(ish) & not gusty, road bike

Damp, icy,windy, out comes the hybrid

Only one fall this winter, when my chain came off at low speed & I couldn't release my pedals quickly enough

All year but enough snow or black ice sees me staying in. That said until 2010's late winter at the start of the year and then early winter at the end I'd not missed more than a week or so for ten years.

Well, hopefully the worst is over now.

For you lot, certainly. I'm in Ontario - we have another 2 months of proper winter yet.

Blimey! Is it too cold to sleep, must be silly o'clock in the morning there?

It's actually relatively warm (-7). I just have trouble sleeping sometimes...

snow and high winds i dont.


rain or cold doesnt bother me at all.. just go much slower in the rain though

Indeed, all year round except when icy, 28Km short of 1000Km for January, cycle to town today should get me closer and a ride sunday will take me past......

All year all weathers, the only thing I do when the ice and snow is about is cut back or stop the Sunday rides, the commuting continues, it was down to -11 at one point just before Xmas. I ride nothing but fixed all winter.

Commute all the time with the exceptions of torrential rain (although have now got some waterproof gear so this may change) and ice which isn't really worth the risk.
