This time it’s going to be about riding in the cold. A lot of the same tips apply since when it’s cold the tires are stiffer and have less grip on the asphalt. But for me the worst part is staying wamr and comfortable. I’m in Canada and for some reason it seems the temperatures are much lower than what I remember from the previous years. I’ve, on a few occasions already, had to ride to work when the thermometer was indicating 5 or 6 degrees Celsius or 42 degrees Fahrenheit. While already a tad nippy, you need to consider the windchill factor when going at 90km/h (55mph)! [...] [...] A short while ago I posted some tips on riding in the wet.
