Snowy Bicycle Riding Tips

Here’s a short list of tips for riding in the snow:

• Layer up. You want to be cold when you first step out, but not too cold. Your body will generate its own heat.
• Get some full coverage fenders. Your bicycle will kick up a lot of crap and you don’t want that on your components or your person.
• Give yourself ample time. At least twice if not three times as long of time to get from A to B. You will go much, much slower.
• Light your bike up like a Christmas tree.
• Studded tires aren’t exactly necessary, but they help.

Keep some of this in mind, and you too can have fun in the snow.

Above all, stay safe!
