Here comes the sad and depressing season when people starts talking about indoor #cycling online platforms. A few notes: - outside is still free. - a pair of mudguards, a second hand spare wheelset and studded tires combined cost less than an indoor trainer. - if kids go to school in Oulu, Finland all year long, you can do every single recreative ride outside. - no, even in GB it is not raining every day - when the weather forecast predicts rain one day, it doesn't necessarily mean it will be raining all day. - unless you are paid for it (i.e. a pro cyclist), it is ok to skip one ride once in a while and do something else.
