In the winter on a bicycle: what to choose, how to ride and what to wear

in #life6 years ago

In the Finnish city of Oulu, every fifth inhabitant (22%) uses a bicycle instead of a car or public transport.

If in summer you can sit on any great and with pleasure to pedal, then in the winter it will not work. In cold snowy weather it is better to ride on velogibridy with good tires - you will not skid and slip, you can easily ride through the snow.

Wide tires are also comfort during the trip. You will not feel holes and hummock, because such wheels are "swallowed".

Such bicycles are good not only in winter, but also in summer. They will pass through the sand, mud, slippery cobblestones, in tall grass. Every day you can go out of town and have a mini trip with friends or family.

Pay attention to the characteristics: engine power, battery capacity, mileage. For maximum speed, do not chase, it's not a scooter or a motorcycle. The weight of the bike is also important: girls are better off choosing models easier, men can be taken heavier.

Compact, so you can put it in the trunk or go with it in the subway. The battery charge is enough for 40 km, but if the battery is not enough, you can get there without the help of a motor.
