I love cycling through the winter (with the exception of the really icy days when some parts of the route can get rather terrifying). Equally, I love being out on the bike on lovely summer days. I do have a tendency to run hot all year round, so the excessive sweating in the summer heat can be a problem (it starts pouring down into my eyes from beneath the helmet).

So, no - the OP's not mad or the only one. Winter riding is excellent fun and sometimes I prefer it to overheating in the summer!

The only thing that I do not like is ice. We had one evening this winter where the snow melted, then it got cold and snowed again, leaving a layer of ice under the snow. Not so much fun.

This time of year is great for quick times, winter is slower, but yes getting home, hot shower and a roaring fire is also great!
