Winter Bike Workshop, December 2004

In an attempt to increase the number of year-round cyclists, the WBWC held a winter cycling skills and information clinic on December 13th on the University of Michigan campus. Attended by a mixture of students and city residents, the clinic attempted to dispel myths associated with cold-weather cycling and provide useful knowledge to make biking through the winter more enjoyable.

Topics ranged from inclement weather riding techniques to dressing (both rider and bicycle) appropriately for lower temperatures to winter-specific safety tips. Participants’ questions included concerns about riding etiquette during the winter and the value of purchasing a separate, less expensive bicycle for winter riding. In addition to members Christa McDermott and Jack Van Dyke, who lead the clinic, the WBWC supplied a variety of winter cycling literature for the clinic (including Ann Arbor bicycle maps), and Two Wheel Tango supplied examples of winter cycling clothing and gear.
