Why is it worth riding a bike in autumn and winter?

As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, many cyclists put their bikes aside until spring. However, cycling in autumn and winter is a great way to stay fit, boost your immune system, and improve your mood. Outdoor exercise acts as a natural antidepressant, and regular training helps you maintain your rhythm and fitness year-round.

Winter trails also teach you how to control your bike in more difficult conditions – slippery surfaces, wind, or light frost can raise the bar, but they also develop your riding technique and self-confidence.

How to prepare for driving in cold weather?

Wondering if riding in cold weather is healthy? Yes, provided you're properly prepared. The key is good clothing that protects against the cold while allowing your skin to breathe.

Winter cycling clothing should:

• protect against wind and water – windproof and waterproof membranes keep you warm without blocking ventilation,

• breathe – to avoid overheating during climbs and cooling down during descents,

• ensure layering – the so-called "onion" (thermal underwear + insulating layer + jacket) is the best solution in changeable weather,

• increase visibility – reflective elements are a must-have on short winter days,

• fit well – a proper fit ensures comfort and prevents cold air from entering.

Not only for cycling!

Is winter cycling clothing only suitable for use in the saddle? Absolutely not!
Thanks to its properties – such as thermal insulation, windproofness and breathability – it will also be suitable for other winter activities:

• cross-country skiing ,

• during mountain trekking ,

• during winter walks or commuting to work.
