Winter Cycling Tips
Cycling is fun and convenient even when temperatures dip below zero. With a little planning and preparation, you can embrace winter cycling as a great way to get around!
-
Make sure your chain is greased, check your lights and brakes, and get in the habit of wiping your bike clean after you ride — and you’ll stay ready to roll all winter!
-
Your favourite routes in the warmer months might not be so hot in the winter, so it’s a wheely good idea to give yourself extra time to get where you need to go!
-
Fat or studded tires will give you the best traction, but letting a bit of air out of your regular tires helps, too
-
You might like a headband or balaclava to keep your ears toasty. Of course, a helmet is a smart idea all year round! Stay safe out there.
-
Bike lights are always a bright idea, even more so in winter. Add reflective clothing for extra visibility. You are precious cargo.
