Riding a bike is quick, convenient and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. It also makes for a mean workout!
This is my first year riding in cold weather. It's a shock to the system. The Wind blows hard in to your face and leaves getting tangled in your spokes. Not to mention the cold wind beating on your chest and hands, as you try to focus on the road.
It is surprising how uncomfortable and dare I say, miserable it is to ride in these conditions. Never mind when it starts snowing. It sure is a change from the sunny days and warm breezes.
To have an enjoyable and safe ride in the cold weather follow these tips:
-Layers I like to wear a tank top, a long sleeve shirt and a big zip up sweater. I usually carry a backpack so when I warm up it's easy to peel off the layers and stay comfortable.
-Gloves. If you don't want wind-burned raw hands, go with gloves that allow your hands and fingers freedom. Those Magic Gloves (the stretchy ones) from the dollar store seem to work well.
-Tissue. This is gross but cold, windy days will make your nose run. On a bike, multiply that by about one hundred.
-Turtleneck. Or one of those turtle neck style scarves that go under clothes but don't have ends that hang down. That could be a disaster.
-Sidewalks. When it is really windy it is completely possible for the bike to blow you over in to traffic. It's a bit of a faux pas to suggest a cyclist use the sidewalk but if you feel unsafe or distracted by winds and the sidewalk is clear, do it. Just drive slowly and yield to pedestrians.
-Hats. Use a hoodie or a toque to help you stay warm. Just remember to readjust the helmet a little, if the hat is thick.
-Make yourself small. Crouching down a bit and lowering your head, helps to fight through the wind.
-Take turns in front. If you ride with someone share turns taking the lead. The rider ahead will take the brunt of the winds. Or you can let your buddy take the front and not tell them why. I'll leave that up to you.
-The usual suspects. As always make yourself visible, have reflectors, a light and a bell. When it gets colder it also gets dark earlier. Make sure cars can see you.
Ride Safe and Stay Warm!
