Now that heat is dispelling, and rainy season is more present, is indispensable to explore some tips to ride a bike in the rain. Believe us, take certain measures, as small they are, they can save your life in these climate conditions.<\/p>

The answer to avoid bike accidents during rainy season is logic: don\u2019t ride a bike in the rain. However, whether you want to or you have to, many times we\u2019ll be prey of the storm. From those who ride for pleasure and enjoy the rain drops, to those that the torrential rain takes them by surprise in their way to home or work.<\/p>

All the cyclists, we\u2019ve been through this situation, that\u2019s why you should take notes of the following\u2026<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

Tips to ride a bike in the rain<\/h2>

Dazzles from the front and back  <\/h2>

Maybe the most important rule of this list; sometimes we can be so cautious when riding in the rain, unfortunately our safety won\u2019t depend of us, but motorists. The truth is that in these conditions, visibility is pretty hard to see another car, and imagine a cyclist. That\u2019s why, you should use light at the front and back, this will help to be more visible on streets. Before going out, charge the battery of these devices and use them when raining during day or night.<\/p>

Keep dry and again, stand out!<\/h2>

Is never enough to repeat it: during night and rainy conditions is important to make your presence visible to motorists. Bike lights are an element but also the impermeable, transpirable and reflective clothing<\/a>. If it is more visible, it is better. A reflective raincoat or jacket will work. The important thing is to reflect the vehicle light and being protected from rain and water. An extra point if these is impermeable and breathable clothing, so you won\u2019t sweat, and will be little use that you\u2019re not soaked by rain if you will be soaked by sweat.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

Deflate tires, not flat tires<\/h2>

One of the biggest fears of cyclist is to have a flat tire and don\u2019t have the necessary tools to change them, or worst don\u2019t be nearby a bicycle workshop. Now imagine what this means when riding in rain. Ironically, the best thing to avoid this dilemma in stormy days, is to reduce the tire pressure. It will be enough to deflate tires to 10 PSI the front and back wheel. If you\u2019re asking why, is because when deflating tires, allow them to have a better grasp to contact surfaces, as the floor. And will be less probable to slide or slip and then fall.<\/p>

Brake in Advance!<\/h2>

When talking about slips and skidding is obvious that you shouldn\u2019t ride to high speed with rainy climate. Even though you can get more wet, is better to ride slower. You will have time to dry and take a hot bath. If you\u2019re driving too fast, is very possible that you will skid or your brakes won\u2019t work as they should. That\u2019s why, when raining, is better to have a slow brake in advance. Is vital that you brake progressively, first very slow to delete the water excess in brake pads and then with greater pressure. Increase the distance of braking, by contrast, if you want to stop at the moment and at high speed, it doesn\u2019t matter how strong you tighten the breaks, without the necessary friction when wet, won\u2019t work and answer properly.<\/p>

Be careful with puddles<\/h2>

If you\u2019re one of those who love to jump and pass on puddles, it would be better you could contain yourself when riding by bike. Other great tip when riding by bike in rain and that would save your life: don\u2019t pass on puddles. These small water formations are extremely tricky. The puddle you pass on can have 1 cm or less of depth, maybe is a bump or a very deep hole that in the best of cases, it will ruin your tire, rim and bike dampers, but in the worst of cases, can cause you a fall if you\u2019re not using the correct equipment, causing you a fracture or injury. If possible, transit on bike ways<\/a>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

As we mentioned, the use of safety helmet is a live or death matter. Explanations aren\u2019t required, simply and easily, with and without rain, use your helmet and the correct equipment is vital to ride in bike to avoid minimum damages in different accidents.<\/p>

In addition to all these tips to ride by bike when raining, it isn\u2019t bad to take other measures. Before going out, check in advance the weather forecast. To know the rain probabilities of the day, can be a key factor for you to decide if you can go by bike or is possible for this occasion to go by public transport or walking.<\/p>
