How to Extend Your Cycling Season… Comfortably

There are two types of cyclists in the fall: those who put their bikes away as soon as the leaves start to fall… and those who make the most of it until the snow stops them (sometimes even longer). At Cycle Néron, we’re definitely in the second category.

Why? Because autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons to ride: cool temperatures, stunning colors, and less crowded roads. But to fully enjoy it, you better be well equipped. Here are some team favorites to stay warm, dry, and comfortable, kilometer after kilometer.

Upper Body: Warmth and Protection

The key to not freezing on your bike? Layer up.

For women, we recommend the POC Essential Splash Jacket. Lightweight, breathable, perfect for unexpected little showers.

For men, the Castelli Espresso Vest is another essential. Insulating yet super comfortable, it keeps warmth without sacrificing freedom of movement.

Adding the Castelli Espresso Arm Warmers gives you just the right flexibility to adjust your outfit according to the weather.

Accessories That Make All the Difference

We often underestimate the importance of small details… but they’re what let you extend your rides without getting cold.

Specialized Thermal Liner Gloves: thin, comfortable, perfect for cutting the wind and keeping your hands warm.

Castelli Pro Thermal Neck Warmer: an unbeatable classic. Simple, effective, and truly essential once the temperature drops.

Lower Body: Ride Without Shivering

Your legs deserve optimal protection too.

The Castelli Entrata Bib Tights combine warmth and breathability, keeping your muscles active without shivering.

And to avoid blue toes, nothing beats the Castelli Thingy 2 Shoe Covers. Easy to put on, they block the wind and keep your toes happy.

In Summary

Extending your cycling season isn’t about courage… it’s about gear. With the right clothing and accessories, every ride becomes a joy, even as days get shorter and temperatures drop.

After all, cycling isn’t just a sport, it’s a passion that deserves to be enjoyed as long as possible each year. And at Cycle Néron, we’re here to help you do it comfortably and happily, for as long as possible.

What If the Weather Doesn’t Cooperate?

If riding outside becomes more challenging or you don’t have all the gear you need, remember, you can also extend your season indoors.

Our stores are equipped with indoor training bikes, and you can even ride directly at Cycle Néron with our PowerWatts classes. A great way to stay active, keep fit, and keep pedaling, even when Mother Nature decides to take a break.

Come see us, ask questions, and above all… keep riding, again and again!
