Cycling in the Hebrides in winter is great, I've done it several times. Hostel accommodation is good at the Gatliff Trust hostels and a few independent hostels too, the weather is generally not as cold or snow affected as the mainland, the roads are reasonably quiet, and the atmosphere of cycling in the dark with good lights (the days are quite short so it is sometimes necessary) with the smell of peat smoke in the air from nearby houses is magical.

The Hebrides are a great place for cycling, except for parts of Skye, you'd be mad to take the bus...
