#FairWeatherCyclist

@ascentale @bobjonkman @bikenite A1. Northern Virginia as usual. I’m a #FairWeatherCyclist, but it’s mostly a question of adequate clothes. I have adequate clothes for down to 40 F or so, but the point of failure is my eyes and my nose. A cold wind makes them both run. I supposed old-timey biplane goggles might work for the eyes. Unclear what would help the nose. #BikeNite

A1) I'm posting from deep in the Coconino National Forest, at about 7000 ft elevation.

I'm a #FairWeatherCyclist, but also a wanderer so year-round I tend to go to places where the weather is nice. If it's too cold I go south and lower elevation, if it's too hot I go north and higher.

A1. Posting from #fabulous, if a tad nippy at the moment, #VancouverIsland.

A1.a. I am, generically, a #FairWeatherCyclist; the term refers more strongly to **weather**. During active weather I am likely sitting inside (e.g. scrolling caturday pics.)

I am fine riding in freezing weather when it's dry, hopefully sunny, and little wind. Precipitation, adverse breezes, and fog are my nemises.

On the #LeftCoast / #WetCoast. <sigh>

Our intro and Q via @bobjonkman

Q1. Where are you posting from today? If you're a #FairWeatherCyclist what's the start of #CyclingSeason? A particular calendar date? A certain temperature? 40 days and 40 nights of no snow?

@cwebber

Temperatures have been cycling-friendly around here ( #WaterlooRegion in Ontario, Canada) the last few days, but winds are way high (40km/h) and it's raining.

So no cycling for me yet. Bike stays in the basement another month.

@uxmark

I knew about Winter Bike To Work Day, and thought @CycleWR might have organised a group ride, maybe on Saturday. But I didn't receive that notification (the mastodon.sdf.org has been a bit sluggish lately, and I owe my mail server a bunch of technical debt).

But I wouldn't have gone on a winter ride anyway -- I'm too much of a Fair Weather Cyclist.

A couple hours ago I checked the forecast, thinking about a ride. @duncan__british_columbia was not very encouraging; basically no chance until about noon - ca.fedimeteo.com/duncan__briti

But Apple's weather disagreed, the rain would taper off in 40 minutes.

I trusted #fedimeteo more. And it is now pouring outside. I will check again in couple hours.

#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion where it's been raining all week. So my biggest accomplishment this week was going out in the rain for a short ride to the bank. Only five minutes and less than 2km, but quite an accomplishment for a #FairWeatherCyclist.

@Welshracer The best cyclocross is the one I can watch from the warmth and comfort of my living room...

Going to the office by bus instead of cycling today because it's foggy. Mock all you like.

@cedar Yo. #ZeroFareTransit advocate here (and transit rider), also a #FairWeatherCyclist. In #WaterlooRegion, #Ontario. It just started to snow here yesterday, so time to bring in the bike until spring. But with the November we had, it's the latest time of year I've been out! (Except that time I left the bike out all winter)
