10 Essential Road Cycling Safety Tips For Winter
Written by Luke Green /
Road cycling safety is important all year round, however, winter presents its own unique challenges to road cyclists. Icy conditions, low visibility and cold temperatures all need to be taken into account as we head out on our bikes this winter. Before planning your next ride, it’s definitely worth considering the following essential winter road cycling safety tips.
1 - Install lights
The first point on our list is a super important one. In fact, it’s not a recommendation but a legal requirement in the UK where it is illegal to cycle on a public road in the dark without lights or reflectors. A good set of lights is crucial to ensuring you can see where you’re going but also so that you can be seen by other road users. You’ll need a front white light and rear red light to ensure you are conforming to the necessary safety standards and protecting yourself and others from the risk of an accident.
