5 Tips for Fall Riding
With cooler weather creeping in, these 5 tips will ensure smooth bike riding during the autumn months.
✅Dress in Layers:
-
Fall weather can be unpredictable, so wearing layers that can be added or removed is crucial. Consider moisture-wicking base layers to stay dry and comfortable.
✅Be Visible:
-
With days becoming shorter, ensure you're visible to others by wearing brightly colored clothing and using reflective gear. Ensure your bike is equipped with bright lights during low-light riding conditions.

✅Stay Hydrated:
-
Cooler temperatures can be deceiving, and hydration is just as important in the fall as in the summer. Carry water and sip throughout your ride to stay hydrated.
✅Plan Your Routes:
-
Choose paths that offer the most scenic views of fall foliage, yet are safe and familiar. Some trail conditions might be affected by seasonal changes, such as mud or debris, so be sure to plan accordingly.
