Staying Active as the Wet, Cold & Darkness Close In

But as the damp, chill, and short days of winter close in, how does your approach to cycling change?

Do you batten down the hatches, set up an indoor trainer and focus on staying warm at home?

Do you continue 'as you were' and just grin and bear the pain?

Do you fit fenders and lights, don appropriate apparel, and soldier on, suitably prepared against the wind/cold/rain and dangers of the early nights?

I'm curious to hear how you all change (if you indeed you do change) your approach to regular biking when the conditions aren't perfect.

No more early sunrise. Hate the time change.
