What should I pay attention to when riding a bike in rainy days? How to ride a bike safely in rainy days?

1. If you want to go out for a ride when the weather is unstable, you should carefully check whether you have your riding equipment for rainy days in advance. First of all, it is best to have a raincoat with bright colors, which can not only prevent rain, but also play the role of safety warning, so that others can easily notice themselves and increase riding safety. As for riding gloves, it's better to be non-slip. If necessary, you can install a flashlight on the front of the car so that you can see the route clearly in the rain (but not in the case of thunder and lightning). There is also the need to prepare rain boots, waterproof glasses, waterproof backpacks, plastic raincoats, bicycle lights, helmets with edges and so on.

2. Choose to use bicycle tires with rough grooves on the surface, because the grooves on the surface are designed for drainage, mud and stones. The wider the groove on the tire surface, the stronger the friction, which means the stronger the off-road ability.

It's raining while riding, so don't bury your head in a hurry. Because in thunderstorm weather, the greater the stride of the body, the greater the voltage, and the easier it is to hurt people. Find a safe place to shelter from the rain quickly and avoid sheltering from the rain under the big tree to avoid being struck by lightning. It is also not suitable for sheltering from the rain in a relatively high place, or sheltering from the rain in an ungrounded tin house to prevent lightning strikes.

4. The tire grip will be reduced in rainy days, so you should pay attention to slow down when riding, especially on downhill sections.

5. When riding in rainy days, the braking response will also be weakened. It's best to slow down in advance, but don't brake suddenly. Because it will make the wheels slip and lose balance.

6. On rainy days, the roads are muddy and slippery, so you should concentrate on cycling and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time. Cycling speed is slower than normal weather, so get off early in case of situation.
