I got back into cycling (mostly gravel and paved multi-use path) about a year and a half ago. Last winter, I more or less put biking aside and just tried to do more walking instead.

This year, I’m trying to continue biking a bit more throughout the winter because firstly, I enjoy it, and second I don’t want to be as out of shape come spring.

I’ve gotten myself some warmer gear (not a ton). I’ve given myself permission to just try to get some seat time in while not really pushing for distance or speed.

Lately the weather has been more of a challenge and I’m feeling myself falling behind.

So, what’s the community’s approach to winter?

Do you suck it up and go for it like it’s still summer? Move into the garage/basement and go 100% indoor trainer?

    I like that… Make the best of the nicer days and push there rather than trying to hit some other quota, riding when it’s unpleasant, and getting de-motivated.

      If the idea is to ride i.e. make it easier on yourself . This i learned from an “old head” at the office. Who convinced me to purchase said spinning bike. Be safe, have fun, be well, outside of that what do you need?
