Last year, cycling through Regent's Park, was the most amazing low-lying fog I've ever seen! I slowly pedaled down the central path and looked behind to see the swirling fog behind me, swallowing up the path again in my wake.
Bit prosaic maybe, but I love cycling through the winter and seem to do more miles and get out of the door earlier when its cold.
It's also nice to have slightly quieter bicycle lanes in the winter but I'm not one that calls out 'fair-weather cyclists' as I'm always happy to see more cyclists appearing on the roads as the weather gets warmer. Generally my bicycle is looking a bit shabby having gone all through the winter compared to the new, shiny bicycles, but it's lovely to see fellow cyclists again.
Think there's also a common bond in winter cyclists often too. That brief look you give each other as you pass on an icy road in the dark...
