I would consider the geometry and body posture of your winter bike vs summer bike. It's possible that one (or both!) of them aren't fitted properly for exercising in a way that is good for your body and posture, although they are probably just fine for riding about town. Bike fit is one of those things where once you get it right, you'll wonder how you survived any other way.

That's a good point and something to look into for sure— the summer bike is a pretty standard road racer (Cannondale R800), whereas the winter one is more of an upright-posture city rider (KHS Urban X), so definitely quite different; and I've never been professionally fitted on either one. TBH, the real driver on getting a second ride was just having the fatter wheels that would accommodate studded tires, which are a total godsend for riding on icy and snowy roads.
