Winter riding webinar 

In preparation for the cold weather and darker days, we held a winter riding webinar for all you hardy riders! 

We know that winter weather can deter a lot of new riders from getting on their bikes, and we want to change that. In this webinar, we were joined by Bikeability to show that bike riding is a year-round activity. From road positioning to staying steady on ice, we covered all the biking basics. No worries if you missed it because we’ve got the recording ready to view. See below for helpful quick jumps and useful links to help you build your biking confidence.
