Riding a bike through winter can be a challenge, but there's no need to miss out on the pleasures and benefits of riding in winter. So, after doing it badly for years, I've compiled a list of mistakes that I (and some other people) have made over the years with the hopes of helping you avoid these rookie missteps.
0:00 Intro
0:55 Mistake 1: Gear Overload
2:05 Mistake 2: Overthinking Your Bike
3:25 Mistake 3: Overdressing
4:34 Mistake 4: Not Considering the Extremities
5:45 Mistake 5: Failing to Change Your Route
6:26 Mistake 6: All-or-Nothing Attitude
7:32 Mistake 7: Fear
8:35 Mistake 8: Going it Alone
