Kids Winter Cycling Gear






It's cold outside, but you still want to ride. We know the feeling! You can be comfortable and warm during cold weather and still get out on the bike without looking like Randy from "A Christmas Story".
You just need the right winter riding gear. We suggest the following items to make your ride comfortable and easy.



  1. A stretch cycling thermal skull cap for under your helmet. You want one that covers your ears and is thin enough so you don't have to readjust your helmet straps. 
  2. The next item is a good pair of long finger cycling gloves that have a wind blocker fabric on top and a soft fleece on the bottom with gripper strips for holding on to the bars. 
  3. Now you want a good wind jacket with velcro wrist closure and a high neck. This piece is especially important since you can adjust your temperature with the jacket zipper and sleeves.
  4. Full length stretch pants will fit over your padded bike shorts or you can use leg warmers.
  5. Base layers should include poly socks, t-shirt and jersey. No cotton!
Now you are set up with good winter riding gear. So get out there and ride!
