versace sunglasses 2012,
Now that winter has most definitely reared its ugly head, its time for some advice on keeping safe and on your bike come snow, ice, or whatever the weather gods are going to throw at us.? Unfortunately it is all too common for normally ultra-keen cyclists to suddenly decamp back to the car at this time of year, leaving their poor pride and joy lonely and unloved in the damp of the garage for a few months. It doesn't have to be this way - and we aim to keep you riding with some simple, but effective ways of staying saddle-bound.
1. Wrap Up!
More specifically, keep those extremities wrapped up. It actually tends to surprise first-time winter cyclists how warm they feel once on their bike and on their way, and many make the mistake of putting on too many layers beforehand. This can result in a clammy and uncomfortable ride, something we want to avoid. The optimum core layering should leave you feeling versace sunglasses 2012 cool at the start of the ride, allowing room for heating up as you get going. For a ride at 0-5C I would go for a wicking base layer, long sleeve top and windproof, combined with a good pair of longs. The most important parts to keep warm are hands, feet and head. Therefore, don't skimp on gloves (windproof pairs with removable merino linings are my preference), overshoes (go for neoprene designer sunglasses on sale for the warmth factor) and skull caps (to be worn under the helmet - you don't want ice-cream head!).
2. Consider a tyre change.
Once you're out on the road, you want to stay on it and upright. In icy conditions this armani sunglasses 2012 can be a bit of a challenge if you're rocking a pair of ultra-smooth, speedy fast road tyres. You'll also be more susceptible to punctures at this time of year, as there tends to be more debris on the road, so don't be afraid of taking a visit to your local bike shop in order to pick up some winter rubbers. You should be looking for a thicker tread and a kevlar lining, Schwalbe's excellent Marathon Kevlar range fit the bill nicely in offering great puncture resistance and are relatively easy on the wallet.
