THE RIDE GUIDE

Winter is Coming!

There's a chill in the air, winter is coming! Wearing the right clothing is more important than ever before, as temperatures dip and the weather takes a turn. It's time to winterize your bike. Be prepared for rain by installing fenders on your tires and carrying a rain jacket on every ride. Layer up to stay warm and consider a pair of cycling gloves to keep your hands warm. Take our safety pledge and keep the roads safer for everyone.

Safety Spotlight - Prepare for the weather

• Install fenders to keep mud and debris off yourself and your drive train.
• Watch out for maintenance hole covers, storm drains, painted surfaces and wet leaves, all of which are especially slick when wet.
• Avoid standing water.
• Dress for the weather: warm clothes, rain jacket, and gloves.
• Slightly lowering tire pressure (5-10 psi) can give you better traction.
• Use lights, be visible.
• After your ride, put degreaser on chain, then dry it off. This can double the life expectancy your chain.
