Tips for cycling at night


In summer, the sultry heat in the daytime makes many friends unwilling to exercise, but the cool temperature in the evening and night makes everyone choose a variety of fitness activities. Recently, I saw that there are a lot of cycling enthusiasts meeting together on the seaside Boulevard, in groups of three or even dozens of people. The wooden plank road by the sea is balustraded and not allowed to ride. We are all on the road. Today, I would like to give you some tips for night riding, hoping to help you to ride safely.

 

Lights are not just for you to see the road, sometimes they are also there to let others see you. To be safe, you may need lights on your handlebars, helmet, and rear. Handlebar lights help illuminate the road ahead so you can see oncoming traffic, taillights alert the car behind you to your presence, and helmet lights illuminate your vision.

 

Remember, never set your lights to flash mode, as long as they illuminate the road a few meters in front of you. Overly bright or even flashing lights can be dangerous, both for you and the driver opposite you

 

3. Usb-charged lights are usually brighter, but the battery lasts less, so carry extra batteries.

 

Fourth, pay attention to riding speed, do not ride too fast, to give yourself enough reaction time to deal with any obstacles on the road.

 

Opt for reflective fabrics, which serve two functions: they keep you warm, but also allow you to be seen.

 

On cold nights, keeping warm is essential. Don't forget to wear gloves, a hat and, of course, socks.

 

Seven, reflective stickers are cheap, but cheap, you can fender, car frame, backpack, guard, handlebars, helmet and any place you can think of reflective stickers to increase the reflective area, is more easily seen by others.
