What cyclists do in the winter?

from Yahoo answers ;-)

the caveThe UK cyclist begins hibernation in early October and rouses himself in April or May. He's usually not holed up for the entire time (it's probably more appropriate to think of winter as a series of very long naps), but the cyclist can go 100 days without really waking up.

The cyclist hibernates in order to evade the deprivations of winter. Traditional windows for ride opportunities dry up, and much-needed shelter can be hard to find. While settling in for his long winter's rest, the cyclist gain pounds of fat a week.

Cruel torture devices have been used to trap the cyclist in his cave, causing pain and suffering. They should be declared illegal but have yet to be outlawed, prolonging the cyclist's suffering throughout the winter months.

It is only in late March as the days get longer that the cyclist (if lucky enough to have escaped the grasp of the "turbo-trainer") finally emerges from the cave.

And so with pale skin and unsteady legs he begins the slow, arduous return to activity and the challenges of life OUTSIDE!
