Precautions for outdoor riding
1, bring enough water.
Riding is an endurance sport, and activities in this hot weather pose a test to drivers, especially in heatstroke prevention and sun protection, we must pay attention to timely supplement water and salt. Especially in hot weather, drivers sweat a lot and need to replenish a lot of water, but ordinary riding kettles are not enough. Therefore, long-distance riding must bring enough water, and water bag is the best way.
2. Sun protection is very important
Skin is the largest organ of human body, so we must pay attention to protection. It doesn't matter if you get a tan. The key is not to get sunburned, so put a waterproof and sweat-proof sunscreen on the exposed skin.
3, pay attention to supplement energy
Long-distance riding, high temperature and lack of water, it is easy for drivers to run out of physical strength. In this state, people have a poor appetite and basically don't want to eat, so they need a special food to maintain their physical strength, and energy bars are the first choice.
4. Don't exercise on the road.
Don't choose urban roads as sports venues when cycling, because automobile exhaust and dust are extremely harmful to people in sports. When riding a bicycle, the cardiopulmonary function is enhanced due to the increase of exercise. If waste gas and dust can't be avoided, passive inhalation of harmful gases will spread to the whole body with the strengthening of cardiopulmonary function, and then poison the organs of the whole body. In the short term, people feel uncomfortable and have a dry cough; After a long time, people will have headaches and be weak. After riding on the road for many years, passive inhalation of exhaust gas may also cause lung diseases.
Women in the physiological cycle have weak physical resistance and are not suitable for this sport on roads with serious pollution. In summer, the sun is strong and it is easy to get heatstroke, so it is not suitable to choose the road as an activity place.
5, protective equipment should be complete.
Because the helmet can effectively reduce the chance of concussion when you fall off the bus, American insurance regulations stipulate that you must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle, otherwise you don't need to pay for an accident. But in our country, cyclists seldom notice this. In addition, knee pads, ankle pads, elbow pads and wrist pads are commonly used when riding, which can prevent sprains and contusions during driving. If cycling is a sport, then these protective devices must be fully equipped.
Insurance experts suggest that cycling is an endurance exercise. Long-distance riding is easy to cause fatigue and accidents. When riding, you must slow down, obey traffic laws, stop and rest as much as possible, and it is best to buy a bicycle insurance or long-distance riding accident insurance to ensure riding safety.
