Trips For Bike In The Winter Months
Navigating winter on your bike might seem intimidating, especially if you're not a seasoned cyclist. 🚴♂️❄️ Our friends at Great Lakes Bicycle Co have crafted the ultimate guide for winter bike commuting! Check out these tips:
Dress to Impress (the COLD): Bundle yourself in breathable, warm, and waterproof layers - envision wool, baselayers, reliable gloves, and waterproof plants!
Be Smart: When the elements rage, think twice. Stick to the trails, skip the road during snowstorms - it’s the Wild West our there, and visibility is key!
Guard Your Extremities: Keep fingers and toes snug; a freezing ride is no one’s idea of fun.
Lights: Winter means early sunsets. Invest in quality lights for the from and rear of your bike.
Invest in Fenders: If your bike doesn’t already have fenders, it’s a good investment. They will keep you dry. Dry equals warmth, and let’s face it, arriving at work looking like a drowned rat isn’t ideal.
Bike TLC: Snow might not frequent our paths often, but when it does, the road salt onslaught is real. Give your bike some love - even a quick rinse beats nothing. Your local bike shop is your ally in mastering the art of bike pampering. Seek their wisdom before diving into a cleaning frenzy.
