As above; rain is tolerable, and so is cold – with modern clothing it’s not too much of a problem. In fact, when its cold and crisp, and blue skies, it can be genuinely a pleasure out on the bike.
However, wind is just relentless. I can put up with a breeze, and even a bit of wind, as it toughens you up. But the recent ‘storms’ are another matter.
It’s bad enough in perfect conditions riding on the road – but in these winds, its just a ‘no no’. You do see some people still riding, but getting blown all over the road isn’t clever; sometimes its better to not bother.
In fact, I’ve taken to walking for about 45 mins a few times a week after evening to get some exercise while this garbage weather carries on.
