Winter Biking 101

Email Print PDF

Blue_Bike_1Winter roads can be hazardous to those who commute on their bikes and to those who choose cycling for their continued fitness year round. Be wise and keep yourself safe this winter by following a few safety guidelines. To all those who are on the roads please remain vigilant to surrounding cyclists and other modes of transportation.

Know Your Routes

Roads tend to get narrower in the winter with snow and ice build up on the roadside, leaving you with little to no shoulder/bike lane. Research the safest possible route to your destination and choose one with the fewest possible cars. Avoid traffic, especially when dark! GoBikeBuffalo is a wonderful resource for all cyclists.

Ladies Nights will be held on the fourth Wednesday of every month and are meant to facilitate a collaborative learning environment where female cyclists and others--looking for something a little different than the usual male-dominated vibe of the shop--can come to practice bicycle mechanics, share skills, volunteer, purchase used parts and refurbished bicycles, and discuss the awesomeness of all things bike related.

Open shop rules apply, therefore anyone wishing to work on a personal bicycle or project must be a Green Options Buffalo member or purchase a day pass.  Memberships start at just $25 dollars for the year and can be purchased at the shop or online.  As always learning through volunteering is encouraged and free.
