I got back into cycling (mostly gravel and paved multi-use path) about a year and a half ago. Last winter, I more or less put biking aside and just tried to do more walking instead.

This year, I’m trying to continue biking a bit more throughout the winter because firstly, I enjoy it, and second I don’t want to be as out of shape come spring.

I’ve gotten myself some warmer gear (not a ton). I’ve given myself permission to just try to get some seat time in while not really pushing for distance or speed.

Lately the weather has been more of a challenge and I’m feeling myself falling behind.

So, what’s the community’s approach to winter?

Do you suck it up and go for it like it’s still summer? Move into the garage/basement and go 100% indoor trainer?
