Fair Weather Cyclist?

[salsabike]

Here in the Pacific NW, my spouse and I both ride regularly in the rain, and clean the bikes periodically. I'd rather ride outside if I can. The bike can take it.

When it comes to road cycling, I only like to ride when it's sunny and at least 60 degrees.

However, mountain biking, bring on the weather! Wind! Snow! Hail! Rain! Monsoons! I love it all. The same goes with running.

Winter here means ice and snow. Commuting isn't practical for us so I rarely ride in the winter. Once it snows and the road has had gravel thrown on it, I switch to the mountain bike, but even then, I don't ride much in winter. I just bought a trainer and expect to get my km's in that way. IF I lived where I could commute, I might consider riding in the elements but I'd need a commuter bike, lights, fenders, a rack of some sort, and lotsa new clothes...
