Cold Wave Alert! Stay Warm and Ride Safely, Motorcyclists
- Three Areas to Keep Warm for Motorcyclists
- Head Protection
Opt for a full-face helmet for maximum coverage, or a half-face helmet with a visor. Pair it with a windproof face cover.
- Neck Protection:
Choose a high-collar jacket with a warm inner lining to protect your neck and prevent skin exposure to the wind.
- Hand Protection:
Select windproof gloves and cold-resistant gear to keep your hands warm and protected.
- Slow Down
Riding at a slower speed reduces wind chill, making the air temperature feel less harsh against your body. This not only enhances comfort but also improves your reaction time on potentially icy or wet roads.
- Avoid One-Handed Riding
Cold weather may tempt riders to free one hand for quick warming, but this is dangerous. Always keep both hands on the handlebars for full control and safety, regardless of the weather conditions.
