Cycling in winter: Is it a good idea?
"Indeed, it's a good idea! Just because winter has arrived doesn't mean the bike has to be put away. If, like me, you suffer from seasonal depression, it's a fantastic initiative to continue to ride a bit outside. I say a bit, because winter riding means relearning the practice of cycling. One must be patient and take the time to understand what they're getting into.
Whether you're trail riding with oversized tires or commuting to work by bicycle, there are several aspects to analyze. Indeed, the condition of the roads, poor lighting, cold, more demanding maintenance are factors to consider before engaging in winter cycling. It's also important to know yourself well and accept that Mother Nature may sometimes be stronger than oneself."
