Notes on cycling in Tianjin What should I prepare for cycling in Tianjin?

Regarding riding a bike, Bian Xiao thinks it needs a lot of physical strength. After all, many people can't hold on. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you what you need to prepare and pay attention to when riding a bike in Tianjin.

Trial disassembly of new car tires

It's best to buy a car with quick-release wheels, so that the front and rear wheels can be easily disassembled during the journey. Slightly better brand mountain bikes are equipped with quick release wheels. Although the reason is simple, even if you read it online, you should disassemble it yourself, because you must master your own tire repair and tire replacement skills when you travel, all of which are based on the successful disassembly and assembly of tires. When disassembling, observe the structure of relevant posts by the way, so as to be aware of it and not make mistakes at one time. It's one thing to look at strategy, but it's another to do it yourself.

There are many tutorials on installing wheels on this website. Let me focus on the rear wheel. When disassembling, adjust the chain to the smallest circle of the tower wheel. When you put it back, you put it back from its original place. The front wheel is not difficult. I also want to say a few words to my brothers with obsessive-compulsive disorder. When locking the quick release screw, do not tighten it too tightly. Only seven components are enough. Observe the structure of the quick release lever. The quick release lever is just stuck, not gravity. Moreover, the quick release rod itself is very thin, and locking the quick release screw is enough. If you push too hard, you may really break the quick release lever.

Problems with installing the rear shelf

If you are short, you can ride with a backpack. After more than 2 hours, it is strongly recommended to install the rear shelf, because after riding for a long time, your back sweats and then you can't dissipate heat. And the weight of the schoolbag will press on the waist, and finally on the contact area between you and the seat. When the schoolbag is heavy, your shoulders will ache. Many people think backpacks are cool. Does the installed shelf affect the value of the car? No no no countless people's blood and tears tell you that the smaller the backpack, the lighter the better. Everything is on the back shelf, so many things explode? Buy a pack! However, this distance between Beijing and Tianjin does not need much. Basically, they are all necessary pumps, spare tires, repair tools and water, which are relatively heavy.

There are two kinds of rear shelves, quick-release and mounted on the screw holes of the frame. If it is a super long distance, the latter is definitely more reliable, but for ordinary small long distances, the quickly disassembled shelf is still competent. There is something wrong with the rear shelf fixed by screw holes. Unless you don't take it apart, take it apart and twist it again and again. Screws are not afraid, aluminum alloy frames are afraid. Don't slide the line!

The most valuable and core part of a car is the frame, and other parts can be replaced. Take good care of it. I installed a quick-release rear shelf, and then lowered it as low as possible when the clamp clamped the rear fork to prevent the middle of the rear fork from being excessively deformed. The recommended screw clip is fixed on the rear fork, and it is best not to choose the full quick release clip; In addition, pay attention to whether the rear fork of your car is a square tube, a round tube or a diamond tube. Talk to Taobao when you buy it, or simply go to a physical store to buy and install it, otherwise the fork can't be repaired there.

Check the front and rear tire pressures and pump in enough air.

In addition to crumbs, steel wires and nails on the road, there is another important reason, that is, the tire pressure of the wheels is insufficient. There is a simple reason. If the tire air is insufficient, it is easy for debris to sink in and puncture the tire; If the tire is inflated enough, it can basically bounce off when it encounters small debris. When riding a bicycle, you can even hear the sound of small pieces bouncing off, especially the rear wheels. Hit lightly enough, pinch hard enough.

Check the necessary tools and articles.

Pump, car repair tools, socket head screws, tire rods, wrenches, not to mention these.

As for the tire repair tools or spare inner tubes, I brought them, and I bought the inner tubes of Jianda in advance. All bands do increase the burden, but from the worst point of view, the consideration of multiple bands is as follows: 1. There is no air leakage point after puncture, and there is no water around it. 2. It's too late to have a flat tire, and the light is seriously insufficient or something.

About tire repair. You should try to make it up at least once. Knowing a rough idea is much better than opening Baidu temporarily. Everything is decided in advance, and it's no use not doing it. As long as the tires are new, the basic problem is not big. If the tire is almost worn out, for example, it is very thin after several years of use, it is best to replace it. One thing to pay attention to after a puncture is to clean up the puncture of the outer tire, otherwise the tire will burst again after replacing the new inner tube. Caring is very important.

Tips:

Buy inner tubes. There are three points to note: 1. American or French (basically the former) 2. Inner tube size. You can check the tire label, such as size 26X 1.95. 3. I really don't know whether it is an ordinary air nozzle or an extended L air nozzle. If it's online shopping, take a picture of the gas nozzle and show it to the store.

Night riding lamp configuration

First of all, it is not recommended to ride at night, but if possible, you must configure front and rear lights and a front flashlight to illuminate the road conditions and see the potholes and kerbs clearly to prevent the car from falling; Be sure to install a reflector and flashing lights at the back to improve the recognition of vehicles at night. This is related to safety, and there is no room for carelessness. Charge the lamp in advance and change the battery.

Vehicle anti-theft problem

For bicycles, anti-theft has always been a difficult problem that cannot be completely solved. Do you want to take the car lock with you? If you stay in the car, you can leave it. But cycling is not allowed in many places, so you have to lock your bike when you go shopping or sightseeing, so I brought two locks, Taiwan Province Provincial Lizhao 9080, and an ordinary password wire lock.

The vertical lock must pass through the frame and be locked on outdoor fixtures, such as telephone poles and lampposts, or the stolen car will be taken away by the lock! Supermarkets, shopping malls and fast food restaurants are all high-risk areas, and many drivers will park here. If you don't lock the frame and only lock the front wheel, you will find that there is only one wheel left when you come out, such as this encounter.

My car locking scheme is to lock the frame first, and then lock the rear wheel and frame with a password lock. When there is no pole to lock the car, pay more attention to the surrounding situation. For example, when visiting Tianjin Food Street on the second day of this ride, carts are not allowed to go in. I noticed that the guardrail with external air conditioning in an old twist shop could lock the car, so I wanted to try Tianjin Twist, so I went in and bought 2 kg. My aunt in Tianjin is very enthusiastic. After I finished talking about the car, they asked me to lock the car on the guardrail of the external air conditioner and promised to look after my bike. By the way, her twist is really delicious.

Travel preparation

(1) Not to mention the charging treasure and data cable. It takes a lot of electricity to turn on GPS, surf the Internet and keep the screen on. By the way, if you forget to bring anything, remember that the convenience store at the gas station can buy Android data cables and the like.

(2) ID card, bank card and cash

(3) water, you can buy it, take it along the way, and you are not afraid of weight. It takes about 3 liters of water for one way (Ipoh 550ml X5). I also brought a bag of milk.

(4) food. Although you can buy it along the way, it is not a big burden to bring some Snickers and candy, especially for people with hypoglycemia.

(5) Regarding sun protection, it is assumed that the sun is already fierce at the end of April, and sun protection is needed. In addition, you can choose leather, but I haven't worn it.

(6) Know the weather before departure: Is it raining? Wind direction? These two have a great influence on riding. Riding against the wind will weaken your strength. When you have low blood sugar, you doubt your life. Avoid rainy days, be good to cars and people, and don't touch yourself with a "bolt from the blue". It's only 150 km, so we must choose a good weather.

(7) Book hotels in advance, especially on holidays. When booking a hotel, make sure that the bicycle can be conveniently placed in the room. For example, if it is not the elevator building, it is difficult to lift it to the sixth floor. In short, pay attention to the storage of bicycles. If you are not at ease, you can call the hotel directly to ask.

(8) Most riders should buy cars in physical stores. If conditions permit, you can ask for an invoice and go for a ride. You'd better put them in your wallet. It may come in handy when it is critical. Also, it is best to keep your own factory frame number and take photos with your mobile phone.

(9) Buy riding accident insurance. You can buy it on Alipay, and it's'.

3. Cross the intersection, turn, etc. Try to see the front, back, left and right, and keep your eyes open.

Don't rush forward even if it is a green light. When crossing the road with a green light, pay special attention to vehicles turning right (these vehicles don't need to wait for a red light), and also pay attention to vehicles running a red light.

Some cyclists ride very fast, and many motor vehicle drivers think that the speed of bicycles is to enjoy the speed of bicycles. When the speed of a bicycle exceeds 30 km/h, I think it will exceed the judgment of many drivers. Pay attention to this, especially when avoiding, learn to put yourself in the other's shoes, and don't think, "I ride so fast, how can this car compare with me?" Maybe the driver didn't expect you to ride so fast!

6. Give a thumbs-up to the driver who kindly gives way or gives priority to giving way, express gratitude in time, and meet unexpectedly.

7. When riding a parked motor vehicle, be careful of the door that suddenly opens. I met a rider who fell off the car and broke the brake handle. Similarly, when you ride a bike from the side of a parked car door, be careful of the passengers who suddenly jump off.

8. Pay attention to all kinds of children. They may suddenly fall on your wheels. Stay away. If you can't get away, get off and push. Don't take any chances. Don't expect some parents to keep an eye on their children.

9. When you feel tired or your attention drops, you should rest or replenish energy in time. Many accidents happen when you are distracted. When your judgment drops, the wheels will rub against the side of the road and people will fall. Keep your mind sharp! Stay awake and sharp!
