A popular saying among cyclists who brave the cold winter conditions on their bikes is: “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad or wrong clothing”. Instead of hesitating to ride outside when the temperature drops, you can learn to dress smarter and enjoy cycling as you should. Today, read all about: what cycling clothing do you need for winter?
Always use a base layer
When the temperature is above freezing, a good base layer with long sleeves and a thin thermal shirt or jacket is probably all you need. A well-breathable base layer prevents overheating by wicking sweat away from your body and releasing heat.
Dress appropriately
To stay warm during a winter ride, there are some key points to consider before getting on the bike.
Most of your body heat escapes through your head, so using a neck warmer will greatly help you stay warm. It’s also important to keep your legs and buttocks warm. A pair of long cycling pants or leg warmers will keep your legs and buttocks warm during your winter bike ride.
Your hands and feet are perhaps the most important places to keep warm. You always feel the cold here first, so it’s very important to take this into account before starting your bike ride. Special cycling gloves help protect your hands. The best way to protect your feet from the cold is with overshoes. Don’t have overshoes? For short rides, a double pair of socks is also a good solution.
Be visible
We keep saying it, always use bike lights. In many places, motorists do not expect cyclists on the road during the winter months. By using reflectors and lighting, you stand out more and prevent accidents. It is possible to order extra reflective strips on our clothing.
