Winter is coming and the “official” cycling season is slowly coming to an end, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop riding. In fact, you don’t have to stop at all, because usually after a short break, you can start preparing for next year with great foundations, which is much better and more enjoyable to do outside than on rollers indoors. As soon as the temperature reaches the bottom of their personal comfort zone, many people put away their bikes for next year, but they do it wrong for several reasons. A 10-14 degree, sunny, pleasant autumn-spring weather has a very positive effect on the body, circulation and general well-being. I think it is even better to ride at that temperature than 25-30 degrees. Of course, there is a huge difference between cold and cold: a cloudy 5 degrees (where the temperature feels about 2 degrees) is completely different from a sunny 10-12 degrees (where the same is 15-16 degrees). So - above zero degrees - it can't be cold enough to ride, just that you don't have the right clothes. Unfortunately or thank God, Hungarian winters are getting warmer, but you can still run into nasty minus temperatures, rain, and unpleasant weather. A few years ago there was a winter when we rode in December at 18 degrees, but there were times when it rained for 2 weeks and it was 2-3 degrees. And it's hard to calculate, but the trend is towards mild winters. Therefore, anyone who wanted to ride outside should be prepared for 2-3 degrees. Only the determined go out in minus temperatures (or those who are paid). I usually ride outside at 2-3 degrees, but mostly in dry weather, so we can usually ride through the winter. There are few times these days when
