There are many motivations when it comes to cycling and doing it. One of them is to go out and spend money on a new bicycle at your local bike shop. Figure it this way, after spending that kind of money on a bicycle and then not riding it means you need more help then you think
Also, a new bicycle is lighter and probably has the best gearing to make cycling outside easier then riding a bike that is 20 years old.

I'd like to join this challenge! I'll need to think about a goal..I've not been able to ride for 6 months, but I've been getting back on the trainer the last couple months. Not sure what to push for ... I am just getting a feel for how much fitness I have lost since July.

You are over half way to your goal!

I see this thread every day and it makes me sad, because the snow won't be gone for 2-3 months still. But just wanted to say good luck to everybody and I hope you are enjoying!

Trainer, exercise bike, spin bike, etc...is the answer to riding inside while the snow is outside.

Or get a FAT BIKE....
