So as winter approaches, the mornings get darker and the nights draw in quicker its time to pack away the bike until spring- right? Well with British autumn and winter feeling like they last for the majority of the year, and summer seemingly lasting only a few weeks, not riding in colder weather doesn’t leave us with much time to enjoy our bikes.
So why put our bicycles away just because our short lived English summer is over. With specialist clothing ranges such as those available from ASSOS; cycling in colder conditions is completely viable. This range includes products such as the
Assos Winter Glove System and
Assos Stringer Hat , providing much needed warmth for hands and heads.
Also there can be many advantages to cycling throughout autumn and winter that you’d never even thought of. With the colder conditions appealing less you will find there are a lot less cyclists on the roads, freeing up the open road for you to enjoy. The colder weather might make the terrain even more challenging but this can be viewed as part of the fun. Winter body insulators such as
Assos 09 interActive Early Winter Body Insulator, provide fantastic insulation whilst still being breathable, leaving no excuse not to get out and enjoy the fresh crisp winter air.
Choosing the correct clothing can be vital to how much enjoyment you get out of winter riding though. The wrong clothing could leave you too cold and too much clothing could have you sweating. Whilst excess heat may not seem to be an obvious issue, the problem arises when you start to cool down that is when you will be left feeling uncomfortable. This is why investing in appropriate clothing is a must for winter cycling. Jackets such as the
Assos UmaJack 851 Limited Womens Jacket incorporates wind protection and is specially designed for use in such conditions, therefore overcoming the issue of either being to cold or too hot.
And with the weather conditions we experience in Britain, its not only in the colder months that you’ll find yourself pulling out your
Assos Early Winter Gloves, as the name suggests you can be always be prepared, and are sure to get the use out of these during many months of the year.
So why not purchase some appropriate ASSOS gear and enjoy an invigorating cycle ride in the crisper, dryer and yes ultimately colder winter air. With the wide range of clothing options available there’s no longer any excuse for your bike to be redundant for half of the year.
