3) i bought a road bike in July and had started cycling around the local area, too wet and windy now.
i do have a stationary mount for my bike - the joy of cycling is feeling the wind in your hair and the surrounding country side - not the inside of my front room
I just started a daily practice of cycling, so I get preferring outside. In my area, it's been 30s with light wind and rain. I had to order lightweight gloves and ear warmers (headband-style). I also am not straying too many miles from home in case "light rain and wind" shifts to "heavy rain and wind".
A ticketed 7-mile prohibition--wow! That is tighter than most places in the USA. Still, that allows you to cycle (2 x Pi x 7) = up to 43 miles in a straight line, or in an area (Pi x 7^2) of about 150 square miles.
It's an interesting time. I hope the weather clears up near you, soon.
