There are 2 types of cyclists: those who hate to ride outdoors in the winter and those who hate to ride indoors in the winter. While there are many good excuses to be found on both sides there are many more bad excuses. The truth is that virtually no one should be riding exclusively indoors or outdoors during the winter. There are benefits to riding indoors, even for those with the most flexible schedules, living in areas where the weather nearly always allows for outdoor riding and there are benefits to riding outdoors even for those with jobs that make outdoor riding impossible in certain months or who live in areas with extreme cold, wind, snow and ice in the winter.
