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.
