These preparations will add color to your cycling journey.
1
Check the bike condition before ridingCheck the drivetrain:
First, debug the bicycle's drivetrain, check if the gear positions are accurate, and whether the shifting is smooth, because inaccurate gear positions not only affect the performance of the bicycle but also affect the rider's mood and experience during cycling.Check the braking system:
If it's mechanical disc brakes or V-brakes, check your braking performance, brake pads (brake shoes) and braking ability. If it's side-by-side brakes, you need to check whether the brakes are leaking oil.

Everything is prepared in advance, and nothing is prepared in advance. Cycling is the same, appropriate warm-up can bring your body into a state of movement. It can also improve your cycling quality. Short-distance cycling requires a short sprint or appropriate stretching of the muscles and bones; long-distance cycling needs to reserve physical strength, and remember to inventory the items you carry, food, water and spare tires and repair tools, and according to the weather to prepare for cold and heat.

When travelling, it is better to be generous and not to compete for seconds. Cycling also avoids rushing. When cycling, don't rush and compete for seconds, especially when passing through intersections. There is also a situation that everyone has encountered, that is, when cycling suddenly rained. What should you do? Don't think that you can rush for two more times. If the distance is short and the rain is light, you can slow down your speed; if the rain is heavy, it is best to choose a nearby shop or other location to take shelter from the rain, and then start again after the rain stops.

Don't stretch after cycling for a long time, and the muscle circumference will increase, leading to thicker calves. Muscles that are in a state of tension will also become less elastic, making it difficult to pedal when cycling.
Cycling after the ride is not just to relax muscles, it can also accelerate blood circulation and burn fat. Laying down can burn fat, so what's the reason not to stretch?5
