It always makes me laugh when the term "fair weather rider" is used.
If you have to ride out of necessity then I feel sorry for you.
As a mode of transport bikes are pretty crap.
You get cold, wet, can't carry much and are vulnerable to other road users. Not to mention the damage the winter causes the bike.
Anyone who says that winter riding is as enjoyable as summer riding is obviously not making the most out of their riding experience.
