Gear Up for the Downpour
- Embrace Reflectivity: Invest in a high-visibility cycling jacket and reflective accessories like ankle straps. Rain can significantly reduce driver visibility, especially in modern day cars, so maximizing your presence on the road is crucial. Choose neon green or orange colours for maximum impact.
- Light Up Your Ride: Ensure your front and rear lights are in proper working order and bright enough to pierce the rain and low-light conditions. And make sure it is charged for the ride.
- Waterproof Your Belongings: Pack a waterproof backpack or pannier bags to keep your belongings dry if you are going to use your bicycle for commuting to work. A waterproof phone case is a great accessory to have on your regular morning rides.
