<\/strong><\/p>\n1) Studded Tires <\/strong>– Today, you can get studded tires from 30mm to 4.8in wide to fit mountain bikes at all wheel sizes, and any disc brake road bike (and Seven’s RedSky series, too, if you like rim brakes). Nothing provides the confidence to take on winter riding quite like a pair of studded tires.<\/p>\n 2) Bar Mitts and Boots <\/strong>– Hands and feet bear the brunt of the cold when you’re riding, so we like Bar Mitts<\/a> to keep our hands warm, and a pair of serious winter cycling boots like these 45nrth Wolvhammers or these Lake MKZ 400s<\/a>. You will be surprised how much easier it is to get out the door once you’ve solved the problem of cold hands and feet.<\/p>\n 3) Layers<\/strong> – One of the great things about riding is that it raises your body temperature, so you won’t be cold long. That means that your best strategy for regulating comfort will be layering your clothing. We like full zip jerseys and jackets that we can open when we’re warming and close when we’re cooling off.<\/p>\n 4) Friends<\/strong> – We all like a solo ride for clearing our minds and simplifying things, but in winter we prefer to travel in packs. We’re more likely to show up for a ride if friends will be there.<\/p>\n 5) Adventures<\/strong> – All the places we go during the year are different in winter. Sometimes the thrill of a cold weather ride is just in seeing old sights through new eyes. They say it’s the journey, not the destination, but in wintertime, we make sure the destination is part of the motivation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s how we do it: 1) Studded Tires – Today, you can get studded tires from 30mm to 4.8in wide to fit mountain bikes at all wheel sizes, and any disc brake road bike (and Seven’s RedSky series, too, if you like rim brakes).
