The Following tips can keep you safe and comfortable while walking and rolling in Winter.
- Be Seen – Wear bright/reflective clothing and use a bike light when riding so other road users can see you on dark, winter days.
- Be Safe – Stay alert – keep your eyes and ears open.
- Be Prepared – Dress for the weather. Rain gear and warm layers can keep you dry and comfortable all season long.
