When I had a bike it didn't matter what the weather was like, my old bike liked to be pushed more than ridden! 🙄 LOL, It kept me fit.

I`ll ride as much as I can all year round, in most types of weather although I draw the line at ice or snow. I try to avoid high winds too but have been caught out in some bad storms where I`ve been blown across the carriageway a bit; that`s scary!

When, and only when, it pleases me. Getting too old for all this crap about 'you aint a biker if you don't ride in all weather', been there done that got all the T-shirts.

All year around,but no snowy rides these days...sometimes take the car if it's emptying down at time to leave,but prefer bike 99% of the time,cheaper to run,lol

I didn't pass my car test till I was 32 so rode a bike all weather's, loved the warmth, dry, comfort of a car so my biking days got left behind for a few years, now I chose the time/weather that I want to go out in, unless I've made plans like a rally then it's whatever the weather is at that time

I'm retired now so only ride for pleasure, so if it's dry I'll ride, if not I won't.

When working I only commuted by the bike in nice weather, although my commute didn't involve much traffic so there was no tactical advantage in biking.

I'm a smug git I know :-)
