insurance In recent days I've noticed that it rains on our little island. lot. why we have a tropical forest for thousands of years. Someone told me that 2010 broke records for rain in PR And I think so. 'm down for several days because of so many gray skies, so much rain, and such a lack of bike riding outside.
You also have mounted almost these days. Accept. The rainy weather of recent days has caused just do not ride bike. I've been to your friends @ s bike with the excuse that it's raining. And if you've mounted, insurance I've done complaining about the rain, and ensopándote unnecessarily.
What to do when one wants to ride bike outside, but it's raining, cloudy, cold and gray? Ride on a trainer? Continue sleeping? Renting a movie? "Jang in FĂ©isbuk? Go to spinning class? Looking for a second (or first) job? Study? Caring for your children, your pet, or your partner? "Shopping? Overeating? Is writing a poem? Doing yoga? "Lying to mourn?
Answer: none of the above. As you know, nothing in life is more important, and nothing gives more pleasure to ride bike. thing to do is bike ride in the rain without fear. can ride bike, and enjoy the rain. No die. I swear it. You only need the following to bike ride in the rain happily, comfortably and safely:
Fenders
Of all the bike accessories for rain, maybe this is the key. The fenders not only prevent you target a lot of water, especially between the buttocks. The fenders also prevent water spray with your comrades s cyclists.
bikes come with fenders. Others do not. Some bikes have the little holes for fenders in the box. Others do not. For bikes that do not have the little holes, no fenders that are 'clip-on', and can be easily assembled and disassembled. One thing to keep in account is that when you use fenders on the bike, you have to wear a size rubber fenders allow you to put the fenders without interfering with the picture, or the brakes. In other words, there is usually less than using a rubber wide when used in conjunction with fenders. The combination of tires and fenders you can use will depend on the design of your frame / bike. Some good brands of fenders are: Planet Bike , Portland Design Works , SKS.
Note: Most of the camels and mountain bikes that have been selling on PR in the last 10 years are not designed to use fenders. What if the only bike have is a camel racing or mountain bike racing? Then buy another bike that is designed to use fenders. As you know, one can never have too many bikes. If your bike is a hybrid bike, you may be able to put fenders. If you have a donkey, or bike shirt, you may already have fenders (and if not, you you can make). If there is no way to put fenders on your bike, and if you want, or can not buy another bike, then you can use some of the other things discussed below.
LIGHT
The bike lights are essential in the rain. In the rain you are less visible . The lights help you see the rain, and also help others to see you to you. This is very important to your safety.
In the rain, using a more powerful set of lights that you would use when it is raining. Some good brands of bike lights are: Planet Bike, Portand Design Works, Cateye , NiteRider .
RAIN JACKET
rain jacket designed especially for cyclists is not absolutely necessary. But if use it in the rain going to be @ more comfortable on the bike. The tradition is to wear a yellow, as this is the most visible color in the rain, but there are transparent, and also of different colors. Jackets have sophisticated ventilation, reflective material, laces, pockets, coolest fabrics that breathe better, etc.. Some are waterproof, and is water resistant. Some are expensive, and there are cheap. Note that normally cycling rain jacket has a longer back than up front. This is to avoid dropping your water and know where they that's what the bidet.
For PR, use a light jacket, you stay relatively close to the body (so catch less wind). There are rain jackets sport court, and cutting is urban. Some brands: O2 Rainwear , Showers Pass , Chrome , Swrve , Rapha , Giordana, Pearl Izumi, Craft, Louis Garneau, Bellwether, Gore Bike Wear, etc.
can roll with any rubber in the rain. But the rubber mullet running 700 x 22 that you put insurance on your camel or on your fixie not best suited for rain. The rain is more rubber bands Anchit better, and some tires that are not completely smooth. That is, a tire that will give you a little 'grip' in the rain, because the floor may become slippery.
There are many good tires for the rain, depending on the type of bike you have. There are tires that are designed taking into account that will be used on wet pavement. If you want recommendations, write, or consult your bike shop.
HELMET COVER
If you do not mind getting wet head, or if you use a cycling cap , this does not absolutely necessary. But like the jacket, is something that can allow you to ride more comfortably. Yellow is the traditional color, but there are other colors. It seems to me that the helmet cover is a bit 'dorky', and I prefer cycling caps. But each rider with its accessory, and every sane with __________.
GLASSES
When you're shooting under water and wind is more difficult to see well. See it is essential for your safety when you're on the bike. Use glasses that are not dark glasses whose lenses are adjusted automatically light conditions, or glasses with interchangeable lenses.
There are many good brands of eyewear for cyclists. The sport is, and design is a 'fashion' or more urban. Choose the one you like, and wear them. If you want to wink at someone, lift them up briefly with one hand and put it on again. Practice this technique indoors, at home, before doing so in the rain on the bike.
Wear gloves on the bike is not absolutely necessary, but it's a good idea. If you fall off your bike, almost always the first thing that touches the road is your hands. The road is hard, not clean, and often have glass, metal, etc. As you can not ride bike without hands, it is important to protect.
When it rains The 'tape', or 'grips' on your handle sometimes gets more slippery, and it better be. The palms of your hands sweat, which can make them slip, and with the rain this effect is multiplied.'s why wearing gloves in the rain on the bike is particularly appropriate.
As with lenses, and jackets, no gloves, sports gloves and urban. Dale, write me again if you want recommendations, or ask your bike shop.
REMEMBER: NO RAIN IS AN EXCUSE TO NOT RIDE BIKE!
