As winter rolls in for most of Australia, there are some key things to consider as a cyclist when riding in cooler weather. Now for a small rider like myself, winter is definitely not my favourite season at all, I feel the cold weather big time!
Firstly it’s super important to have a few key winter cycling clothing garments hanging in your wardrobe. Invest in a quality long sleeve jersey, a cycling specific one with easily accessible back pockets. I also can’t live without my windproof or waterproof jacket and vest. Living in northern New South Wales we have a fairly wet winter so a good waterproof garment is always imperative.
Now with the winter months comes those dark early mornings. So always make sure your outer layer of clothing is highly visible or has some decent reflective panels on it. Many jackets including the Proshield Rain Jacket will have this feature.
