hi

just wondering about the winter ahead. The only chance of getting out are in the evenings & weekends & just debating with myself is it worth going out the winter nights on the bike or go running.

The bike, takes a while to warm up & pretty much always come in cold where as the running you warm up pretty quickly & dont really get cold during or after. Although, i do hope to get out on the bike at the weekends for a spin & maybe keep the running to during the week

Any thoughts?

    If you're interested in getting fit to run then run. Otherwise MFU as they say and ride your bike :wink:

    Set of lights, and the right clothes, and cycling at night is great IMO. Then again I commute most of the time by bike, so have little choice.
  • There are alternatives if you don't fancy riding in the cold / wet / dark etc, which I do sympathise with.
    An indoor trainer is a start, and will be a good self enlightenment process - you will experience new levels of mental torture that is usually reserved for the truly unhinged (as you might detect I detest using mine, but have to because it is so effective).
    You could ride an indoor track, or what about a gymn that does SPIN classes? The good ones are an excellent way of keeping cycling fit.
