How to Save Yourself While Riding Bike in Rain 🌧️🛵

Introduction

Riding a bike in the rain can be fun. But it can also be dangerous. Roads become wet and slippery. You can fall or get hurt. So, we must be very careful. In this blog, we will learn how to ride safely during rain.

Why is Rain Dangerous for Bike Riders? 🚨

When it rains, water covers the road. The road becomes smooth and slippery. It becomes hard to stop the bike. Sometimes we cannot see holes on the road. This can lead to accidents. So, we must learn to ride safely in rain.

📝 Things to Do Before You Start Riding

Let us get ready before we go outside.

• Wear a raincoat or waterproof jacket ☔
• Use a helmet with a clear visor 🪖
• Wear waterproof shoes or sandals 👞
• Check if your brakes work well 🛑
• Check your tires for proper grip 🛞

✔️ Check Your Bike

Before riding, look at your bike. See if everything works fine.

• Brake pads should not be old.
• Lights should work well. You may need them in dark clouds. 💡
• Horn should be loud so others can hear you. 📢

Wear the Right Clothes 👕👖

Do not wear loose clothes. They can fly in the wind and disturb your balance. Always wear:

• Bright colored raincoat (so others can see you)
• Helmet with face cover
• Rubber shoes with grip
