Bad weather riding ?

[new001]

Do you brave it and go out riding in the rain,wind etc or are you picky and only go out when its bright and sunny ?

[FBSF]

All weathers except snow and when it's damp and drops below -3 at the same time. Purely a safety aspect.

Someone (I forget who) once said that there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing...

[AL-]

Ride all weathers and by doing so feel that my riding has improved greatly because of it

[J.M.]

Ridden virtually every day since I started riding, including in bad weather (and the seriously strong winds we had a while ago). The only weather I'm not riding in now is snow/ice due to coming off twice in it the last time.

I'll give that another shot when I've got a bike that I don't mind seeing slide down the street.

Bike is my main transport. If I've gotta go out, I've gotta go out - no matter what the weather is.

Obviously if it's an optional errand/outing and it's bucketing down, then no, I'm not gonna go out if I can help it

All year , except lying snow and ice, so one week off since Jan 1.

[Fifteen15]

All year, but never in the rain, if it's too windy, or if it's below 2C if I can help it. I'm a fair weather rider and I don't care who knows!

Yeah I ride in all weathers - I have no problem with riding in strong wind / heavy rain etc. I enjoy riding in the fog, I find it challenging. I love riding on really sunny days... If i have the opportunity to be out on the bike... god knows i'm going to be out on the bike

Been out in everything.

Only started riding in Oct so have only ever known bad weather/dark so now it feels weird riding in semi decent weather and in daylight

Ridden in hammering it down rain, -7, icey, snow, windy as hell (learnt a tip about countering the wind with a relaxed knee out on the wind direction side which seems to work...)

Just ride a bit more conservatively. I like to think the experience it's given me has helped me learn a lot quicker

i only ride on nice days these days, the bike is purely a toy/hobby and as such i don't want to be out in the pissing rain and wind, rather take the car with the heaters on.

[Tenko]

Car for rain, snow and carrying stuff, bike for good weather and fun provided I know I can park it somewhere without it getting nicked....

[whitedevil]

The only time my bike gets washed is riding in the rain.

If i have planned to go somewhere and its wet i will still go but if i have no where really to go then i wont bother going out in the pissing rain. I have commuted with my bike during all sorts of weather, don't do ice or snow any more as i don't need to commute.

AWR

Public transport isn't for me and I've got to get to work. Ride like a loon when dry, basically the same in wet and I put it in second both feet just off the floor and sort of ski in the snow lol.

I ride in most weather. I actually dont mind riding in the rain as long as i remembered waterproofs.

[Suntan Sid]

All weathers here, fortunately there is, mostly, only one type of weather!

Commute too much to not ride!
