What is the best time of year to cycle in Montevideo?

Spring and autumn, spanning from October to December and March to May, offer mild temperatures and pleasant weather ideal for cycling outdoors. Summer is also popular for coastal rides, though afternoon coastal breezes can occasionally be strong.
