It's only worth it if you're having fun

Well, more than one option...
I voted for sucking it up and riding in the cold anyway, and this is true. However, I will also hook my bike up to the trainer at least one night a week. I hate the trainer, riding indoors, and the gym, so if I can be outside I will.

p.s.
I also cross-country and downhill ski, and on weekends, am usually *ahem* snowmobiling *ahem*.

I voted other, since I currently cannot bike. As soon as I am cleared, I will be outdoors or on my trainer. I also run and that will be outdoors year round.

Welp, I couldn't check off more than one. I do the trainer and I ride outside. Our LBS has a group ride so there were 18 of us there last night. I was part of a peanut gallery in the back, being incited to sing along with songs testifying to the endurance of a certain widow who lived on the moor and what have you... I couldn't tell you how others felt but it made things more pleasant for me
I managed to get my trainer there on the Xtra cycle... hoepfully I can tote my light bike there with the Tray Bien as soon as I get it. Our local dealer (we have one now!) is waiting on them...

I ride through the Pacific Northwest winter (except on REALLY crappy days like this one).
