I'm with you on most of this. Wind/rain just makes cycling a chore, but that applies as much in July as it does in January. Our weather has been nuts for years now, and it is not unusual for cycling conditions in October/November to be quite pleasant, while in June/July/August it can be raining most days.Every year I intend to keep on riding through the winter. But I always end up taking weeks at a time off the bike.
Its just sooooo boring. Forcing yourself to go out in freezing/windy/rainy weather just for the sake of it. Not long after i set off i just want to get home into a nice warm bath.
Completely different to the summer when it's warm and a joy to ride.
Just a chore at the moment
For that reason I don't rule out seasonal cycling, but I WILL do my level best to give it a miss when it is wet and/or windy. And I'm also with you on the MTFU'ers; if they want to prove their manliness by getting wet and battling headwinds, then let them fill their wet boots - they impress no-one.
