2. Preparation before departure

First of all, collect, consult and organize various materials and related information along the way, including newer versions of maps, traffic maps, and geography along the way. , history, humanities, places of interest, meteorological data, etc. Then make a detailed travel plan based on you or your team's physical condition, vacation length, travel season and other factors. Cyclists Online recommends that the best season for long-distance bicycle travel is from May to October each year. It is best to go together for a long-distance bicycle trip, but the number of people on a long-distance trip should not be too many. The ideal number is 3 to 5 people, and it is best to have people of the opposite sex traveling with you. There are too many people, and it is difficult to have food and accommodation along the way, and it is difficult to receive them in small and remote places. Due to differences in personalities and hobbies among people, it is difficult to act in unison when there are too many people. The number of people is too small and the safety guarantee is poor. And if special circumstances arise along the way, there will be too few people to take care of each other. In addition, if the number of people is too small, the relative burden on each person will increase. Some materials and equipment only need one copy for one or more people, such as vehicle repair tools, camping equipment, etc.

3. Relevant material preparations

When going on a bicycle trip, the first thing to prepare is the bicycle. If possible, Bicycle Online recommends that riders choose a 27-inch all-terrain bike specially designed for bicycle travel. This type of vehicle is generally equipped with front and rear frames, can carry more than 150 kilograms (including the rider), has good shock absorption performance, is light and strong, and can adapt to various road conditions. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and spare parts are currently difficult to buy in China. The light bicycles below 26 inches that we generally ride are not suitable for long-distance bicycle travel. You can choose an older 28-inch weighted bicycle. If it is a new car, it must be run in for 200 to 300 kilometers before you set off, and it must be fully adjusted before hitting the road. If it is an old car, it must undergo a comprehensive overhaul, especially the seat. The seat should not be too hard or too small. It is best to add a 3 to 5 cm thick sponge cushion. Be sure to keep the seat surface dry and free of wrinkles and seams to avoid skin abrasion or prickly heat when riding for a long time. The seat should not be too high or too low, and it should be comfortable for personal riding. The handlebar should basically be the same height as the seat, and the height difference should be within 3 to 5 centimeters. Bag racks should also be installed on the front and rear of the bicycle. Riding long distances with a backpack is very tiring and uncomfortable. It is also best to install a water bottle holder on the bicycle frame so that drinking water can be easily accessed at any time while riding. In addition, inject some leak-sealing agent into the tire. Once the tire is punctured, you only need to remove the punctured object and inflate the puncture downward enough to automatically block the puncture and ensure continued riding.

Before setting off, you must master the adjustment and repair of your bicycle, including tire repair, wheel bar replacement, brake block replacement, repair and adjustment of the front, middle and rear axles, flywheel repair, etc.

4. Other material preparations

Clothing: If you are riding in summer or in warmer seasons, it is best to purchase specially designed short cycling clothes. It has the functions of thermal insulation, breathability, wind protection, and rain protection. There are also genuine leather pads inside the cycling pants, which are wear-resistant and breathable. Suitable for riding in a variety of climate conditions. It's just that the price is more expensive. If you don't have cycling clothes, especially cycling pants, you can wear elastic tights directly without wearing other clothes underneath, and apply some lubricating grease to the parts that are often rubbed. Long-sleeved tops and sun hats should be worn when riding in summer to avoid sunburn. When riding in winter or in colder climate areas, in addition to keeping warm, you should also pay attention to preventing tight clothing, pants or shoes and socks, which may lead to poor blood circulation and frostbite.

In addition, you cannot wear a mask while riding. If you wear a mask, the hot breath you exhale will unknowingly form thin ice on the outside of the mask, causing frostbite on the face. The parts most susceptible to frostbite in winter are the ears, nose, hands and feet, so special attention should be paid to keeping these parts warm. A combination of cycling and strolling can be used to promote and improve systemic blood circulation. Also prepare a rain patch, which can be used for many other purposes besides preventing rain.

Other equipment: To prevent wind and small flying insects from invading your eyes, be prepared with cycling glasses. The colored one can protect against strong sunlight, the colorless one is suitable for cloudy days, and there is a light yellow one specially suitable for night time. It is also essential to prepare a small medicine box. The long-term medicines include: medicines to treat diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, colds, acclimatization, anti-inflammatory, trauma, eye drops and other medicines. If it is summer, you should also prepare some ten drops of water, Fengyoujing, cooling oil, prickly heat powder, etc. In winter, you should prepare some chilblain cream, "Hantangle", ginger tea, etc. If you are in the northwest, Xinjiang and other places, you should prepare more drinking water (5 to 10 liters per day)

5. Issues to pay attention to while riding

The first is riding Speed ??issue. The riding speed will be determined based on the physical condition of the entire team, the distance traveled and the length of the vacation. Generally speaking; if the road is flat, ride about 20 kilometers per hour. In mountainous or hilly terrain, it is more appropriate to ride about 10 to 15 kilometers per hour. The daily riding time should not be too long in the first 3 days to a week. It is more appropriate to cycle 120 to 130 kilometers for 6 to 7 hours a day. After the body adapts, adding 20 to 30 kilometers a day will not be a big problem.

After a long ride, your feet will become congested and swollen. When resting, lie flat and raise your feet as high as possible to promote blood circulation. If there is a slope with a small slope, you can also lie down and rest for a while or put your feet on the bicycle to rest.

When riding in summer, if you feel dizziness, headache, general weakness, irritability, palpitations, nausea and vomiting, dry tongue and thirst, sweating, rapid heartbeat and other symptoms, you should quickly lie down in a cool place to rest and take some ten drops of water immediately. Gradually move around after your body recovers. Remember not to use fan method to cool down.

When riding in winter, if your skin feels itchy, red, swollen, numb or even blistered, you should lightly apply chilblain cream as soon as possible and keep the area warm. Never rub vigorously because of itching.
