No.
Over the last couple of week's i have done less than 50 miles on the bike in total
I don't mind riding in the rain , nero zero temperature's , sub 20+ mph winds . I even have a choice of winter bikes ready to go .
Does anybody else get down or depressed when not cycling on a regular basis ?
I refuse to go the indoor trainer route as it's just not the same
After my big accident I couldn't cycle or drive for months so walked, a lot. I would walk a 6 mile round trip just to drop off the ironing and often walked about 2.5 miles to do the shopping a couple of times a week instead of the normal weekly big family shop by car. Walking just over a mile with 4 loaded shopping bags hurts your hands and arms...….When I couldn't cycle after my accident, I started to do lots of walking ,just to be outside. I discovered some new paths that you can't get to on a bike.

Heres a heartwarming story.
Mrs D is a special needs TA in the village school. It's just under 500 metres away, but Mrs D reluctantly drives because her MS is so variable she can be fine in the morning and unable to walk by tea time. Mini D goes to the same school, so she logically jumps in the car too.
Now, mini D has a Fitbit thing. Athough she's 7 they're all the rage at school, and as it tells the time as well I bought her one.
This week Mrs D has had abdominal surgery so is off work. I've been taking over school run duties, and I have been making her walk too and fro. Mini D has been complaining, but on Tuesday I walked her to Brownies as well and on the way home her Fitbit buzzed because she had broken the 10,000 daily step barrier for the first time ever. Mini D was made up by this and has since been walking or running at every opportunity in the hope of getting her steps up, and thus beating her mates.
No what ?
Did you embed the studs by riding on (smooth-is) tarmac for around 40 miles, as instructed on the label?I was hoping to take it out and really test the Marathon Winters over the moors
Riding Marathon winters you don't have to worry about ice, you're invincible, just take care when you put your foot down to stopMy social group rides have been cancelled lately due to risk of ice.
I'm the opposite to the OP: because my bikes are my only transport, sometimes I get fed up from cycling, I do cycle short journeys most days.
If I don't have to ride to work, I often do other active stuff, like walking, gardening or swimming.
My job is quite active too, so it's not like I'm missing the exercise if I don't cycle.

If you didn't you will lose some studs, maybe lots.

Not really I used to suffer up north when it could easily be a month before you can get out (ice, wind etc) but since I've moved down here I've found the weather forecast over-hyped and you can get out most daysOver the last couple of week's i have done less than 50 miles on the bike in total
