  • getting cold and wet, then coming inside and feeling like you really deserve to have a hot bath and sit in front of a movie, drink in hand, for the the next 2 hours...

    Werd. thats where its at...

  • Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...

  • cycling in the pouring rain - absolute joy (if going home to a change of clothes etc)

    cold crisp days

    fewer slow cyclists

    days where its so cold you dont sweat until you get to work and if you undress quickly enough clothes are almost dry for the journey home

    You work naked !?

    That's fucking dark.

  • painfully cold hands

  • cold feet. i love that.

  • ... cycling.

  • what u all on about, no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes ;)

    joy of winter is cold ears, unavoidable unless.....ear mufffss...eeek...

  • Streaming eyes that can't focus. Snail trails on your gloves.
    That feeling when the "burning cold" subsides, and riding just feels amazing.

  • …I don't really need to invest in studded tyres.

    Or a perhaps a hat?

  • fuck

    all

    oh, apart from riding indoors.

  • I'd rather it was warm and sunny, frankly.

  • but its not, so how about another one.
    walking into places so muddy and filthy from riding that peoples sensibilities are shot right down, smiling and buzzing from adrenaline

  • ...when it snows and you ride a freshly covered road.
    ...when it snows and you fall off spectacularly, laughing all the while.

  • that’s more like it^ otherwise move to Australia

  • i love all the random crap that you have to carry (overshoes, jackets, multiple layers, gloves, lights, mudguards etc). it's great.

  • i also love when winter finally, finally, FINALLY ends in about May.

  • I absolutely love getting double punctures when I'm only carrying one tube, then getting soaked in the rain shower that I would have missed had I been riding.

    Fuck all...

  • riding through that one day when the weather is completely shit and realizing you can ride in any weather the winter can throw at you.

  • Pah. Riding in Winter in England is a doddle. Try fucking Scotchland.........the wind carries a chib

  • When you finally make it home soaked to the bone, you strip off all your soggy stuff and you've got bright pink skin ready for some warming.

    Then realise that you are standing, naked, in the hall of your shared house.

  • Meeting friends and their amazment as steam
    rises from your head.

    Got home a couple of days ago and my girlfreind pointed out that my cyling top was steaming, after I'd taken it off!

    +1

    I love cycling up a trail that has for some reason become a stream, slipping on a rock that rips off my valve and dumps me in the freezing water so I have to walk the last two miles home with a torch that doesn't work because my cheap batteries don't work in the cold...
