Layer your dress

Bike prep

In the winter use light weight oil and fresh anti-freeze for your motor. On cold days, check your tire pressure before riding. Perform several controlled quick accelerations as you begin your ride; Putting more revolutions on their tires makes them warmer, where they don't swim. The windshield and airfoil will deflect cold air from you.

Take frequent breaks
