10 Tips for Enjoying Your Bike in Winter
- Lower the tire pressure: Reducing the tire pressure can increase traction on slippery surfaces.
- Use a balaclava: A balaclava can keep your face warm and comfortable during cold rides.
- Consider thicker tires: Thicker tires provide better grip and stability on snowy or icy roads.
- Dress in layers: Layering your clothing helps you stay warm and allows you to adjust to changing temperatures.
- Keep your bike clean: Regularly cleaning your bike prevents salt and grime from causing damage.
- Use fenders: Fenders can help keep you and your bike cleaner by deflecting water and mud.
- Lubricate your chain: Cold and wet conditions can wash away lubrication, so keep your chain well-lubricated.
- Wear bright clothing: Visibility is crucial in winter, so wear bright or reflective clothing to be seen by others.
- Check your brakes: Ensure your brakes are in good condition and responsive, as stopping distances can increase in wet conditions.
- Plan your route: Choose routes that are well-maintained and less likely to be icy or slippery. Stop in a café shop to recharge with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
