Everything is a better deal out of season. Snowboards in the Summer & road bikes in the Winter.
If you're looking at a higher end used bike, I doubt you'll save much by waiting, but shops will have more sales on new ones in the Winter to get rid of old stock & keep money coming in. Last years models will sometimes have up to 30-40% off on them.
I'm not patient enough to wait ;p

With bike shops, the deals come in the fall. That's when the past year's models are sold on clearance for space for the next year's models. For example, I think the new Cannondales have been coming for the past few weeks.
Before Christmas, the prices probably won't go down as much as the clearance sales that are going on around now. After Christmas, you might get something better.
With used bikes on craigslist and ebay, bikes may sell for lower prices during the winter, but you also have a smaller selection (People aren't thinking as much about selling bikes then).
