If a rider starts shivering, stop and get out of wind or wet conditions if possible. Swap into a dry layer before adding more insulation on top, then wrap the emergency blanket around the torso and core rather than just the shoulders. Drink something hot if available, and eat something with quick calories like a gel or bar. Gentle movement is fine, but avoid pushing into hard effort. If shivering stops but the rider is still cold, confused, fumbling, or unusually sleepy, treat it as an emergency and get help immediately rather than continuing to ride.
