Hey guys!
So, How's commuting this winter?
I have seen all over the internet and couple times in this forum that people do not know how to safely ride a bike in winter or are too scared to do so because they think it is too dangerous.
Well, yes, it is more dangerous to ride a bicycle in winter, not only because of the snow and ice on the roads but because it gets darker a lot faster in winter than in summer.
70% of all biking accidents happen when it is dark outside because a lot of us do not use any reflectors on our bikes and not even a reflecting clothing.
But that does not mean that you cannot ride to work or school or anywhere else in winter with your bike.
So I did some research on Google for those who cannot do it themselves. Found a lot of winter biking guides and a lot of posts with different tips.
I will add a link to this one-
Basics Of Winter Biking
This will make things clear for all of the newbies and maybe even it will be useful for some experienced cyclists.
And i hope i will not get banned for posting a link in this thread.
