Riding through the fall swing season affords some of the most enjoyable, scenic cycling on the calendar. But with daylight diminishing rapidly and the potential for some chilly pedaling, you’ll need to make a few considerations for autumn riding.
Consider planning a route with an online tool like Strava to ride more safely on well-lit roads and paths, especially if you’re starting early morning or riding into dusk or later.
Of course it’s a great idea, and will save you money in the long run, to keep up with cleaning and maintaining your bike. You don’t ever want to risk a flat or experiencing a mechanical problem, and especially if you ride later in the day, with earlier sunsets.
