Bike
The Bike gear is essentially a single large sheet of fabric with an opening in the center for the head with a piece of fabric that covers the head. Rainproof ponchos normally are fitted with fasteners to close the sides once the poncho is draped over the body, with openings provided for the arms; many have hoods attached to ward off wind and rain.Alternative ponchos are now designed as fashion items.Cold-weather biking (also referred to as winter biking, snow biking or ice biking) is the activity of cycling in winter weather with snow, ice, and slush. As in warm months, people bike in cold-weather for several reasons. Bike commuters cycle to work for exercise, to reduce their carbon footprint, or to save on the costs of parking, amortized car purchase (by making less frequent), car maintenance, insurance, and fuel. Recreational snow or ice-bikers include off-road bikers who ride on snowmobile trails with under inflated, fat tires and ice-bikers who use frozen streams, ponds, or rivers, or who race on iced-over lakes.Winter roads may have less space for cars and bicycles to share, when snowbanks line the roads. To maintain control of a bike on icy roads, cyclists need a different riding style than they would use in summer. Bikers tend to ride more slowly and cautiously, be more upright on turns, and avoid using the front brake on icy roads, because front braking can lead to skidding and crashing.
