This is one of the most obvious and arguably the most critical factor\u00a0for riding in winters. You need to gather the right windproof thermals and waterproof gears to keep you dry and warm during the rides. You will need to buy a full set of warm clothing.\u00a0Choose the right windproof, thermal and waterproof gear\u00a0which can keep you dry and warm on rides so that you can barely notice how cold it is. Also, you will need to use the cycle-specific clothing with the correct fit for your position\u00a0while riding.<\/div>\n
Also, add good quality winter or winterproof gloves\u00a0and overshoes which will keep your\u00a0hands and feet warm, so that you can stay away from getting cold at the most susceptible areas.\u00a0<\/div>\n

    2.\u00a0Tire Punctures<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    Punctures are one of the inevitable parts of riding in winters, so do not forget to carry your tubes and a pump.<\/div>\n

    Another trouble due to the wet road conditions- you can have thorns, shards of glass and sharp pieces of flint to\u00a0make their way through the tires and into your inner tube. This\u00a0generally happens at the most inconvenient point of the ride. To deal with this, make sure that you have at least two extra tubes and a working pump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0Carry Enough Food and Drinks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Carrying enough food during a ride is\u00a0crucial in the winter season. Beware of keeping some energy bars, juicy fruits, protein supplements\u00a0during low temperatures. Also, to retain the water content, keep drinking fluids time and again. You can also drink warm or hot water if you do not wish to drink cold water.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
