Nothing keeps you feeling more alive than staying on your bike all four seasons! It's a great way to stay connected to the outdoors and the city you live in. And, it's really not as hard as you might think!

Many think the winter cyclist is "hardcore." Well, we're here to change the narrative. At Curbside, we look to the cyclists of Northern Europe, who make the bike lane a fashion show of beautiful wool coats and cashmere scarves.

These cyclists aren't hardcore at all. If anything, they are keeping warm while cutting through gridlock; saving money and keeping a rosy glow to their cheeks! Do these cyclists ride everyday? Heavens no! On those super snowy or icy days they rev up the car, hail a taxi, take the transit, or perhaps walk instead. Winter cycling isn't about proving something to yourself, it isn't a sport. Winter cycling is really just the same as summer riding, but more bundled up!

So, how to get started? Well, to start you will need a small amount of gear - mostly for your bike.

Buying a Winter Essentials Kit and getting a Tune-up? Select "Pickup In Store" at checkout and we'll have your parts ready when you arrive for your tuneup!

Just like its rider, your bike needs mitts and a good pair of Sorels too! Sure-footed traction and smooth operating brakes and gears are fundamental to winter riding.

Sometimes winter does its worse when you're not riding. Keep your bike safe from snow, salt and sleet with a Bike Parka cover.

Dark winter nights mean extra safety is imperative. Sweden's Bookman makes a wide variety of super-bright 3M reflectors that are cheap as chips and stylish too!

Having bike lights is not just the law, it's the smartest accessory you own! We supply a wide array of lights, but here are some of our favourites.
