SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Riding bicycles in the winter is a lot of fun. You get to ride in different places, in different ways, with different gear than most other seasons. Our mission at 45NRTH is to enhance the comfort and control our customers experience while riding in cold weather. While we produce gear that improves control on ice and snow, there are inherent risks one assumes while riding in such conditions. Like other cycling disciplines, winter cyclists have different skill levels and experience. It is your responsibility to ride in ways that do not jeopardize your safety. We help you gain comfort and control with technical solutions for hands, feet and traction. You help yourself by using your common sense! With that, here are some basic winter cycling guidelines to consider:

  • Use blinking lights and reflective materials on your bicycle and body
  • Dress in layers using clothing made of wool, synthetic fibers and windproof materials
  • Carry spare gloves, socks and a light insulating jacket with real or synthetic down-fill
  • Riding studded tires on ice or snow does not provide the same amount of traction as a normal tire on pavement – use caution whenever you ride on ice or snow!
