“Winter gear needs to keep you warm, but it’s even better when it offers some cheer as well,” said Vanessa Buccella, Co-Owner of BFF bikes.

One of her favorites is combining the polka dot Giro Saga helmet with Giro’s matching polka dot cap, gloves and wool socks.

“Be careful while wearing it though, because you may find yourself staring at the cute print instead of the road,” Buccella joked.

Recognizing safety and visibility as an important attribute, Buccella also recommends the Endura Luminite Jacket.

“It’s waterproof, breathable, and will keep you safe with many reflective sections and an integrated rear LED blinky,” Buccella said. “This commuter essential is perfect for long winter nights and foggy spring mornings.”
