The essentials in summary
The current winter conditions make roads and bike paths particularly slippery, even when they are salted.
If you need to ride a bike: adjust your riding, improve your bike's grip, and enhance your visibility. When possible, limit non-essential travel.
Adjusting your bike for a smoother ride
Focus on grip
- Deflate your tires slightly to increase the contact surface with the ground.
- Avoid ground markings, metal plates, and smooth paving stones.
Gain stability
- Lower the saddle slightly so you can quickly place your feet on the ground.
- Brake gently and anticipate stops well in advance.
- Reduce speed in turns.
Visibility and protection: essential
- Wear a helmet, even more important when falls are more likely.
- Use a fluorescent vest or reflective accessories.
- Check that your front and rear lights are working perfectly.
The right reflex
If a portion seems too risky to you:
- get off your feet,
- avoid the area if possible,
- or postpone your trip.
In winter, your safety remains the priority. Driving carefully is already driving efficiently. ❄️🚲
