Not sure about that. I cycled 40km last thursday in a temperature of -4c.
I was covered in frost. That was harsh.
Now, perhaps only a small part of the population expose themselves to the
outdoors - I'd happily accept that! Most people just fall out of their
centrally heated, super insulated houses, into their fully heated cars
and never experience the outdoors.

Too true Chris, on the Tuesday after Christmas I went up the 1600 feet
Callow hill part of the Long Mynd in West Shrops. The ground was frozen
hard with sub zero temps, let alone the near gale blowing at the peak.
I saw quite a few motorists taking photos from their cars. Why don't they
get off their fat back sides and do some exercise ?
You can see a great deal of beautiful countryside while walking off road,
or even off the beaten track.
