How to winterize your bike commute




While snowed in these past couple of days thanks to the great snowpocalypse of 2011, I stumbled across some great tips on how to winterize your bike ride. Although it may still be a couple days until Columbia clears the streets where you ride, keep these helpful hints in mind!

First up: A short video from Streetfilms. The video profiles riders in Chicago who face harsh winters but see the benefits in riding year round. Shows tips about warm clothing, proper bike maintenance and the winter mentality shared by Chicago riders. Check it out here: http://www.good.is/post/video-how-to-winterize-yourself-for-a-bike-commute/

Next: A place to share your winter biking tips! GOOD has created a forum to share tips, stories and advice with others who also bike through the many seasons. Read what others have to say and share your own advice! http://www.good.is/post/share-your-winter-biking-tips/

Are you planning on venturing out into the snowy abyss anytime soon? Remember stay warm and safe out there!
