Bike Winter
Folks, after a pretty mild beginning to the Fall/Winter riding season it just snowed for the first time this year here in Milwaukee. If weather reports I’ve been watching are any indication we are not the only place getting the fluffy white.
To help you get prepped an to keep you motivated the folks at bikewinter.org plan and promote winter riding events in several cities with the promise of more to come.
From the Bike Winter website:
Each winter, bicyclists in Chicago, and other cities hold events to promote winter bike riding. By taking part in Bike Winter, you will have the opportunity to have fun, socialize with other cyclists, and learn winter biking skills.
The idea is very simple – with the proper gear and a little determination, you can continue to enjoy bicycling year round. Add in the camaraderie of hundreds of riders and dozens of exciting events and you’ve got Bike Winter!
Bike winter started in Chicago 10 years ago but the scope has grown some and the bikewinter.org site currently lists events in:
In addition to a schedule of events the site has a bunch of great info on riding in the winter so you can extend the use of your bike all year round and enjoy all the great benefits of riding, even in the winter. Check it out!
