Dressing for Winter Cycling

Make sure that you wear several thin, light layers, including a windbreaker or light jacket to keep the wind out, cycling or running tights, a synthetic base layers that can wick away moisture, probably something made of polypropylene.

Slip on a wool or synthetic mid and outer layer, throw on a balaclava or cap underneath your helmet, grab some wool socks and shoe covers (we call them “booties”), and don't forget some good winter cycling gloves. Now you are ready to ride!

Why Should You Shop at Al Petri & Sons?

     When you visit Al Petri & Sons, you get the full attention of our well-informed staff as we share our extensive knowledge of the bicycle industry with you. You see, all bikes are not created equal. Bicycles and their many parts can be welded, forged and machined to varying degrees of strength, lightness, and durability. Bike shop quality brands may cost more than department store or toy store bikes, but that’s because they are built to superior standards.

     These higher standards are necessary because bike shop brands have fantastic warranties, and we have found that customers who have reliable bikes become our loyal clientele. Our brands represent some of the best manufacturers in the business and are backed by these companies and by Al Petri & Sons - but you have to buy from us to get that advantage.
