My cold air asthma is 90 per cent better than it was before I quit smoking about 6 years ago. I used to get chronic bronchitis that lasted for months. Now it's just a little cough when I'm riding hard in cold dry air.
Notice the article says it's usually the dryness of the air, not the coldness that causes the problem. A humidifier at home might help you recover between rides.
