"The first nice weather of the year hits, and you drop everything to rearrange your schedule to get some much-needed miles in the sun. There's a problem, though - your lights and computer (and maybe derailleurs) are dead, your tires are flat with dried-up sealant, your clothes are missing, and your bike has been neglected all winter. Take this as your friendly reminder to prep all your gear before those surprise early-spring days."
"Years ago, I finally invested in a multi-port USB charging station, and it was one of the best things I've done for trying to keep all the various electronic gadgets functioning. It not only allows me to charge many things at once, but acts as an area to keep all the lights, computers, radars, cameras, sunglasses, mini inflators, electronic bells/speakers, watches, heart rate monitors, and derailleur/seatpost/shock batteries in one place."
Cold-season riding often focuses on fat bikes, leaving lights, computers, radars, cameras, and electronic drivetrains unused and with depleted batteries. Charge batteries for lights, computers, derailleurs, seatposts, and shocks, and check coin cell shifter batteries via manufacturer apps before heading out. Centralize charging and storage with a multi-port USB station to keep all electronics organized and ready. Verify clothing, consumables, and basic tools are available after winter storage. For tubeless tires, refresh dried sealant because existing dried sealant may plug old leaks but will not flow to seal new punctures.
