Let s talk about novice long distance cycling, what should I pay attention to?

Tire repair tools, spare tires, air pumps, reliable hexagons, band-aids, iodophor, paper towels, wet wipes, two bottles of water (don't bring more, a lot of them are sold near the national highway, thirst does not die), change of clothes, slippers, book to collect post office stamps (look at yourself), mobile power supply, tearproof map, Nokia 1050... Also, you can buy toffee along the way, and you can also send some when you meet children while replenishing your physical strength, which is really an artifact.

When riding** use 2nd gear. I used the 3rd gear on the first day, and it turned out that my knee hurt at the end of the day. Later, it would be good to use 2nd gear. Don't be fooled, knee injuries are permanent, don't expect them to be as bad as your muscles.

If you're in a hurry, stay out of the city and try to walk from the edge of the city. The speed in the urban area simply collapsed. And once in a county in the Dutch Province, he was hung up by an electric motorcycle, and when he fell crookedly, the other party left with one throttle.

Try not to walk along provincial borders. As we all know, China's highways are maintained in sections and regions. On the road close to the border, everyone wants to shirk responsibility and is too lazy to care. The road conditions are particularly poor. It's better to stay away.

First of all, it is not recommended for novices to ride long distances alone. Secondly, if you decide to travel, you must first do your homework, such as routes, supply points, etc., and try to choose routes with good road conditions and reasonable density of villages and towns. Again, make a good itinerary plan, pay attention to leave enough margin, deal with emergencies calmly, and rest fully if there are no emergencies.

Finally, safety comes first, bring a mobile phone power bank and carry a small amount of cash with you. Helmets, jerseys, and gloves are not to mention. One more piece of advice:

Don't wait until you're hungry to eat, don't wait until you're thirsty to drink! ”

If you're riding for a long time, it's a good idea to have a good set of equipment if you can. This refers to a good mountain bike, plus a full set of personal equipment. There are mainly helmets, sunglasses, reflective jackets and leggings, and in the summer, it is best to have quick-drying clothes, cycling pants and cycling gloves.

In addition to arming oneself, it is also necessary to give the bicycle certain security measures. You may need a kettle cage for the kettle, a set of things to repair the car, a bell, headlights, and a taillight or reflector in the back of the car. If you want to control the speed and distance, a computer is also needed.

Novices must pay attention to controlling their speed when they start riding, and don't say that they have good physical strength at the beginning, but they have been riding very fast. Long riding is endurance and doesn't need to be fast. And you must pay attention to walking in a group, the risk factor of riding alone is relatively high.

If you're riding on a long trip, you can buy insurance before you go. Store life-saving food in your bag, and it's best not to take dangerous paths. If it rains heavily at night, it's best to stop moving.

A group of people can be happy and safe. Valuables and documents are placed in a fanny pack.

If you ride for a long time, a backpack is still necessary. It is necessary to pack some daily necessities and some other essential items, etc. You can also install a seat in the back of the car and put some other small items to ensure that you can find everything you need.

Long-distance riding, first of all, wear cycling clothes, helmets, gloves, often adjust the sitting posture, reasonably adjust the physical strength, adjust the breathing to ride at your own pace, prepare for energy bars and salt water, the most important thing is the precipitation of mentality and daily exercise.

150 kilometers is considered a short distance, you can go back and forth during the day, 500 is considered medium and long, and the long distance should be above 500.

First consider whether you can afford to eat with your physical strength?

Protective equipment such as helmets and gloves must be worn;

Be prepared for rain and snow according to the weather;

Wear cycling clothing or sportswear as much as possible, and the leg leg should be fastened with straps;

1. Pay attention to safety, you can buy a safety accident insurance before going out, which is about ten yuan a day; 2. Do a good job of itinerary planning, it is best not to find a no-man's land at the camping site, in addition to convenient supplies, the most important thing is to be safe; 3. Novices travel 100 150 kilometers a day as well, because it is not a day of riding, mainly the second day, the third day、、、 short-term continuous, physical strength is not a night to fully replenish, the key is camping, sleep will not be particularly good; 4. Bring a certain tire repair tool; 5. Travel as light as possible; 6. Pay attention to the road signs on the road, and ask for directions if you don't understand; 7. Pay attention to the power of the mobile phone (you can consider the solar charger), in case it is a lifesaver; 8. The route and itinerary status should be mastered by a relative or friend; 9.
