They say winter miles equal summer smiles. In other words, braving the cold and dark now will help you enjoy your bike when warmer days finally return. As inconvenient as it sounds, this is the reality for most cyclists.
Unless you’re one of the lucky few in places such as Mallorca or some other Mediterranean cycling haven, frosty rides are simply part of the deal. Riding in crisp winter air can actually be surprisingly enjoyable – as long as you’re kitted out correctly, starting with a quality long-sleeved winter jersey.
