Folding Bikes: Better in the Winter?
Riding a bike year round is a difficult task. Even if you have the right gear, things like snow and ice can really be dangerous for a cyclist. What happens if you find yourself caught in a blizzard while you’re on a bike? Cabs and trains aren’t really accommodating for full-size bicycles. The only way to ensure a convenient commute is to use a bike that folds.
During the winter, a folding bicycle is the best way to go. If you find yourself caught in a snow storm, it’s easy to toss it in a taxi or hop on the subway. You also don’t have to worry about theft or rust from parking your bicycle on the street. Your folding bike can fit on the elevator and travel up to your office. Read about the advantages of riding a Folding Bike in the Winter.
NYCeWheels Winter Reading List
We love commuting through the winter. Despite the cold weather and the road conditions, it’s still more fun to ride a bike than to take the subway. Then we have a day like today, where the icy roads and freezing rain make it difficult to drive a car, let alone a folding bicycle. On a day like today, I grit my teeth and hop on the train.
For those days where you can use some reading material during your commute, we’re here to help. The new NYCeWheels Books and Movies section is a small selection of media geared toward the bikes we carry. We don’t have a lot to choose from right now, but the Brompton Folding Bike book is a great read for folding bike enthusiasts, as well as the Brompton DVD. For electric bike riders, the Complete Guide to Electric Bikes is the way to go.
Keep checking back because we’ll be adding to this section as we find more and more literature that we like.
Philadelphia: Electric Bikes In the City of Brotherly Love
Since NYCe Wheels is based out of New York, we’re a little biased when it comes to places to ride your bike. Of course, there are other amazing cities for bicycle riding, and they usually aren’t littered with potholes, pedestrians, and crazy taxi drivers. One of my favorite places to visit on an electric bike is Philadelphia, PA, home of the Phillies, the Liberty Bell, and Pat’s Cheese steaks.
A stone’s throw from the Big Apple, Philly is an awesome weekend retreat. It’s like a mini New York: flat, close together, and filled with amazing bike lanes. Riding an electric bike in Philadelphia is even arguably easier because everything is in such close proximity. Check out the Best Electric Bikes for Philadelphia.
