Favorite Cycling Weather

Fall mornings.

I know this is going to sound crazy but I love to ride when it is really hot (85 -95 F) and humid (60% or higher). We typically have a warm but humid free summer (May - June) but the hot humid weather has arrived early and I'm enjoying it to the max!

My husband is like that too. He likes working out in the hot, heavy, oppressive stuff. No thank you! My favorite cycling weather would be no humidity, a slight breeze, blue skies and temps in the mid to upper 60s and low 70s.

I like hot and still, but not as hot as it was today. We were 105 with 40mph winds! It felt like a blast furnace outside. Needless to say, I did not ride today.

I'm a wimp; I don't like to ride if it's colder than 40 degrees or if its too much hotter than 65 (especially if there is climbing involved). I guess that means this is my favorite cycling weather--the weather we're having now

The hotter the better!!

YOu are atypical.. I lived in Ontario where summers are often 90-100% humidity before moving after 41+ yrs. I look to those former summers back in time...as a different sort of toughening up while cycling.

Best type of air quality for a city, is where we live now, fresher air... and temperatures during summer here are heavenly to me..just perfect. I like cycling around 18-22 C. with moderate humidity and no pouring rain.

I actually still have not yet fully acclimatized to pacific sea air totally...I always feel a slight cool edge in the air in non-sleeved garments. It's ok..I still want to adjust to high humidity when I visit elsewhere.

Enjoy late spring, summer and early fall the best here for cycling.

At our house we have a temp cutoff for biking..when it hits 38C or above, we don't ride..

I like 55-70ish, clear, dry. Which in New England is about 2 days a year! I hate riding in heat and humidity, although I do. There are times I exercise indoors if the air quality gets bad in the summer, which happens a couple of times a year.
I don't ride in really cold weather, either. Below 40 is my cut off for road rides, unless it's really sunny out.

I love 15-22c, but hate wind. As long as it's just a breeze, I'm fine.

[ATL Laura]

I'm with Matbike and HoosierGiant...the hotter the better. Now that it’s getting into the 90s here in Atlanta I need to acclimate to the higher temps. It usually takes me about a week and a half, but then I’m back to my usual self.
Its strange that I like the hot weather for cycling...I can't stand it for anyhting else.

Fall mornings.

That's a big +1! Fall is my favorite season, hands down, and IMO, better cycling weather is not to be found.

I hate riding in high, humid temps. So why do I live in Florida, you ask? For regular paychecks, of course, so I can continue to support my addictions of the two-wheeled kind.
