bikes that are warm attract a lot of snow and crud which then freezes when brought outside, and thaws out every time a bike is brought back inside during the winter (consistent subfreezing temperatures).

I always found a well lubed and kept frozen bike would run smoother out of the back shed than a bike brought indoors each night to drip dry and crud out in the living room.
