In the last issue of "Have you closed your bike yet? How to spend this winter?", most of the riders said, "Winter is nothing, we ride all year round".
However, riding in winter is not like other seasons, bad weather, biting wind and "beautiful freezing" temperature are all obstacles on the road. Therefore, winter cycling requires extra equipment and skills. Such as light windproof windbreaker and warm gloves, as well as unique dressing methods, and so on.
In addition, some "small parts" can also greatly improve the "happiness" of winter riding, such as a small fender can help you stay out of the mud.
Take myself as an example: I ride in the mountains all year round, so for me, winter will be the season of riding more frequently, and what I look forward to most every winter is snow. But in the snow riding, waterproof and warm is a big problem. This time I will use three layers of clothing method, warm breathable, light and comfortable. On the vehicle side, I would use grease with a higher viscosity and waterproof rating to increase reliability, and change to fenders with a larger coverage area.
So, what kind of winter riding tips do you have?
