When do you not cycle?

[hackbike 666]

Also when I am too ill,the last time being feb 2003.

 

[Dayvo]

For the past 7 weeks!

How come? (must have missed that ground-breaking post!).

Get well soon!

Or I hope you find your bikes.

Or I hope the wife lets you out to play again soon. (whichever one is applicable ).

Only snow and ice prevents me from getting out on my bike.

Or my new girlfriend! (although she's a cyclist, too).

also not when I'm utterly pissed off with life or really pressed for time

I've cycled in all those conditions mentioned in the poll although Ive chosen sometimes not to go out when snow has covered the road as I'm unsure if there's ice underneath.

What about the dark?

I hate cycling in the dark as many of the roads around me are unlit, it can be quite scary.

I hate the wind

I hate the wind

I'm the same, morning after a ruby... there's always the danger of following through as you pedal down... oh, this is primarily a weather thread...

Wheres the option for none of the above. I always cycle .The walk to the bus stop would take almost as long as cycling

 

[Night Train]

I won't cycle if it is very wet and/or freezing cold and/or blowing a gale and particularly if I have something heavy or awkward to carry but that is due to having a choice to use the car.

If I didn't have the car I would cycle everywhere, unless I had a horse.

Ice and rain will keep me off the bike - too much like masochism!

 

[ComedyPilot]

I have rode in all sorts of weather, but if you had to tie me down, then I would gladly sit out of heavy rain.

Snow? Luckily we don't get much of it. I would consider cycling in the snow, though. I've done that back in my country. A proper snowstorm would probably stop me from cycling, though, and so would ice on roads. Safety first, after all I don't mind light rain, but heavy showers are not my thing. Sometimes, though, you can't do much about it and you simply have to cope with getting wet.

I always cycle. The only exception is injury, even then I'll try. My knee was complaining a few weeks ago so I got the bus for one day but it felt wrong. Next day I rode, just took it easy. Recovered OK.

 

[palinurus]

Although that wasn't always the case. Early on I used to give up for quite a bit of the winter and take the bus.
