But you can't change it after posting the poll. You have to start over. :( I guess some statistic guru type would tell you about skewing the results, blah-blah-blah.Quote:

I do like to cross-train when the roads are too slick to ride, though. Swimming is a favorite. Oddly, I find swimming laps (slowly) to be relaxing and contemplative.
I voted that I deal with the cold and ride outdoors anyway . . . for me this also covers the trainer option. We have a very small house so our trainer is in our unheated detatched garage. So even if I want to ride the trainer, I still have to deal with the cold, just not the wind. I have been, and plan to continue to ride on the weekends when the weather is decent, but so far based on my rides in the 50's I don't think I can handle below 40's. Luckily we have a lot of winter days in the 40's and 50's. It was 24 yesterday on the way to work and I saw 2 people riding, Brrrrr. I'm afraid I'd have to wear so many layers I wouldn't be able to move in those kind of temps.
Funny, I just looked at my avatar after posting this and saw the road and I realized that soon all of the roads will be covered in sand and gravel, particularly the shoulders and bike lanes, and I really have no interest in riding in that crap. So my weekend rides may be limited once the snow (and sand and gravel) hits.
hmmm..I am fortunate enough where I live to be able to ride year round on or off road.I don't have a trainer and force myself to go out in the rain even if I have to bike without my glasses..:eek:
This year Perth had a nice winter and I enjoyed having the bike path to myself when it was dark, wet and windy. I didn't care if it was 5c outside, i just biked.
I'd like some snow please.

Snow, yeah, I remember that. White and fluffy stuff, right? It's 70 degrees in Massachusetts today...but it's not even a good warm weather, it's wet and rainy and not so pleasant for riding. This in-between weather stinks!
