Also,
be sure to bring your bike by the shop to make any minor adjustments to ensure
your bike is good to go.
If
you don’t have time to visit the different blog posts here are a few tips for
the early season riders:
1.
It’s still cold out! Remember to layer up and always give yourself the
option to delayer or add layers. There’s nothing worse than cold hands or
feet during your ride!
2.
Hydrate!!! Be sure to drink plenty of water even during the chilly spring
morning rides.
3.
Drivers are still in "winter mode." They (myself included) are
still adjusting to cyclists back on the road. Be sure to dress visible
and ride predictably.
4.
Roads are still a mess. Keep your eyes out for soft sand, cracked
pavement, and patches of ice.
5.
Update your ICE (In Case of Emergency) information in your phone, Road ID, or seat bag. Information should
include any medications you’re on, your identification info, and who to call if
your injured/crashed.
Please
add your thoughts and ideas! I know I missed a ton of stuff but it’s a
start and hopefully got everyone thinking about riding safely...
