Cycling/Winter (zaibatsu), 02/11/2019
------------------------------------------------------------
Winter in Missouri has been odd. In the same week one might
see temps at -8F and temps at 64F. That's not a mistake I've
personally experienced a shift of almost 70 degrees F in
just a couple days. It's certainly not boring.
Cycling, for me, just barely started at the end of last
summer. My wife just got a bike in winter. Mostly, our bikes
have been sitting around. Which leads me wonder: how should
one care for their bike in the winter, if it's not being
used?
Something I'm not used to, coming from AZ, is humidity.
Apparently it ruins things. I've run into a few issues, but
none with the bikes yet. The garage is a humid mess; I'd
like to figure out how to de-humidify it effectively, but
for now that's not an option.
Does anyone have any tips, or things that I should be
thinking about? Is it simply a matter of greasing the chains
and oiling other parts? Are there any bits of the bike that
might escape a newcomer's attention, but which need to be
considered?
