❄️ Keep riding in the winter
I know it’s cold out.
But hear me out.
Winter’s here, and while it’s cold, that doesn’t mean your bike has to stay parked. Riding in NYC in sub-40’s is a different experience than your typical highway or twisty ride. You may not be leaning as much in the city but riding can still be practical.
We’re mostly cruising under 40mph in the city, which makes the cold more manageable. Your rides are likely shorter so wind chill doesn’t really become a thing and the cold is far more manageable in shorter bursts; don’t even need heated gear. Think of your bike as your main mode of transport during these months — it’s less about leisure and more about utility.
Yeah, riding in winter sucks, but change your mindset. It’s not a zero-sum game. You’re not doing 300 mile days; you’re just riding your bike from point A to point B. Throw on a wind-blocking zip up and keep the bike out of the garage over the winter.
Plus, remember last year? We had 50F+ days in January. Keep your bike out and be ready for them so you’re not left complaining that others are out riding when you’re not.
