Even though the rain in fall can be a bit annoying. And the leaves can make the roads slippery too.
I rode my bicycle in all conditions including snow while I lived in The Netherlands. I'm hoping to regain that level of confidence on the streets, as, yes, the roads can be slippery sometimes.
I miss NL terribly, mainly for its cycle lanes and cycle culture. Yes, the Dutch do it well, and I loved having priority on the roads.
I think a helmet is never a bad investment; you only have one brain, so you'd better be careful with it.
You're spot on there! I have this one in transit, there have been delays with the delivery... I had difficulty choosing the right helmet, but this one seems solid and I won't lie, I liked the colour too.
You really have a nice red bicycle!
Happy cycling!
Thank you very much 😊
