What should I pay attention to when riding a bike in winter?
1. The clothes for cycling should be breathable, and don't catch cold when it is hot or cold. In winter, when the weather is cold, people tend to cover themselves up and sweat easily during cycling. So people often find that thick clothes are soaked with sweat after riding a car. If a gust of wind blows at this time, it is easy to catch a cold. Therefore, clothes should be breathable when riding a bike, and the thickness of clothes should be adjusted with the external temperature. Clothes with multi-layer zippers are the best. When the temperature is too low, pull up all zippers, and you can choose to pull them one by one according to the temperature change. In addition, you must wear gloves and hats when riding a bike in winter.

2. Drink hot water by bike in cold weather and exercise properly to supplement sugar and salt. Riding a bike is easy to get thirsty besides sweating, so every time I arrive at my destination, no matter whether it is cold or hot, someone will pick up a glass of water and pour it down. But don't drink cold water after cycling or exercising in winter, and don't drink too fast or too hard. It is best to sip warm water. If it is convenient, you can also carry a thermos cup with you and replenish water with your mouth when you are thirsty. After riding for a long time, you can add some sugar and salt to the water to supplement energy and salt.

3. The roadside air is not good, and there must be no less mask equipment. In winter, the air quality is poor, and sometimes there is smog. In addition, there are often harmful gases such as automobile exhaust on the road. Therefore, wearing a mask when riding can not only block the cold air inlet during riding, but also reduce the inhalation of pollutants into the lungs. There are masks specially used for riding online, which are more breathable than ordinary masks and can be selected according to your own situation. People who travel by bike every day in winter can also cook some pear soup at home to clear away the lung and protect it.

Warm up before riding a bike, otherwise it will be stiff and easy to get hurt. Warm up before exercise, but many people regard cycling as a very common thing, and sometimes they don't even realize that it is exercise, so they often ignore warm-up. For example, some people who get up early for work overslept and got out of bed to ride their bikes. Actually, this is very bad. It is best to get up early and do appropriate activities before going out to wake up. Warm-up time is 5~ 10 minutes, and it is best to sweat slightly.

5. It is not advisable to ride for too long in cold weather, and riding at medium speed is the healthiest. Don't ride a bike for too long in winter, otherwise you will have a lot of exercise and sweat, and riding is not like running, so your body can't keep moving at a constant speed, and there will be periods of downhill or uphill, downwind or headwind, so it is difficult to maintain a balanced and stable state. Don't ride too fast, medium speed is best, if the riding distance exceeds one hour, it is best to choose other modes of transportation.

6. If there is a way, take the dedicated driveway, and if there is no way, be polite to ensure safety. Although there are many people who travel by bike in China, there are not many bicycle lanes in domestic cities, or some streets have them. Therefore, you must pay attention to safety when riding a bicycle. Don't take the motorway, let alone grab the road. It is most important to slow down or get down on the road where people and cars are mixed. When you meet people in the car, you should be polite to ensure safety.
