Um, duh, in the winter the riders are not only cool but cold! Actually that's not true, staying cool enough is the trick in winter.

The thing is, I'd really miss the winter right now, because it's so hot, except that the memory of the cold riding is still very fresh in my mind. It wasn't very long ago at all.

I like being the elite hard core commuter cyclist in the cold, hot, rainy, and/or windy weather. But I sure enjoy the fair weather and miss it like a long lost friend when it's not here.
