Riding a bicycle in through snow, slush and road salt can take its toll on your bike. But, with a little extra preparation you can keep your bike rolling throughout the winter. You must be diligent with keeping your bike clean during the winter. Some people advocate cleaning after every ride, and it’s a good idea to at least wipe off any snow, ice and salt kicked up while outside. There is very little that can be done to mitigate the need for cleaning, but there are ways to prepare the bike to handle a winter of riding.
