    8 Ways To Survive Cycling In Winter

    Winter is coming. So make sure you’re still bike ready!

    1. If you’re cycling after dark be sure to use lit front and rear lights and have a red rear reflector – it’s the law!

    2. Winter in Scotland can be cold. And wet.

    3. Unless you’re planning a career in professional mud wrestling, invest in a good set of mudguards

    4. Get it serviced!

    5. Invest in a bucket and a good chain lube

    6. When it’s slippy, get grippy

    7. Speed 3 isn’t auditioning anytime soon: give yourself some extra time to get to your destination

    8. Getting motivated to get out on your bike by yourself throughout winter can be tricky, even after that third box of Miniature Heroes

    Before you go out, make sure to always check your bike is safe and ready to go.

    Happy cycling this winter!
