Cycling Reviews

The colder it is outside, the more work your legs have to do to warm-up when you start your ride. Leg warm-up creams (aka embrocations) are an easy way to give yourself a head start.

One of the best is Leg Salsa, made by Unconventional Medicinals. It’s made of 100% natural ingredients: menthol, capsicum, salicylic acid, and a whole range of oils, like arnica, hypericum (St. John’s Wort), camphor, wintergreen, eucalyptus, and tea tree. No petroleum products whatsoever.

The thicker you lather it on, the hotter it will get. When you’re out there working up a sweat, things really start to heat up. Once you hook up with warm-up creams, winter will never feel quite so intimidating again.
