Summer is coming, and the burning sun has not stopped cyclists from riding. For challenging riders, this is a good opportunity to have an alternative riding experience. However, riding in the hot sun is easy to cause heatstroke, dehydration, hip skin inflammation, irritability and other conditions, which need to be dealt with seriously. To this end, we specially summed up the experience of some old riders and what weapons must be prepared for riding in the hot sun, hoping to give some help to riders who have long-distance riding plans in summer.

Weapons 1? towel

For long-distance cycling in summer, you'd better prepare more towels for rotation. In addition to daily washing and wiping, towels also have a wonderful function-quick-drying clothes.

During the long-distance cycling in summer, it seems that you have to take a shower and change clothes every day. If you don't have enough clothes to carry or time to dry, you can wring out the washed clothes as much as possible, then wrap them with a dry towel, press them for a while, and then dry them. Usually you can wear it the next day. If it's not fast enough, you can wrap the washed and wrung clothes in a dry towel and put them in the corner of the bed, sit on it and watch TV, read books and have a rest. After an hour, the clothes are dry and ready to wear.

Weapon 2? talcum powder

Don't underestimate this powder, it looks a bit "sissy". It is a good helper for drivers to protect their skin during long-distance riding in summer.

Protecting the buttocks can be said to be the key to ensure smooth riding in summer. Because riding a bicycle for a long time in summer is easy to get dermatitis, talcum powder can not only keep comfortable, but also have the effect of diminishing inflammation and calming down. Usually pay attention to cleaning, and then sprinkle some talcum powder after drying. There is a lot of friction when riding, so it is necessary to supplement talcum powder properly.

Weapon 3? salt

Advocate salt not because foreign food is not to your taste, but to supplement the body with necessary salt at any time.

During long-distance cycling in summer, most cyclists will consciously replenish water, but at the same time, they should also consciously replenish salt lost with sweat. Bring salt. If you sweat too much, you can add some salt to your drinking water or lick a little salt directly. In addition, when you encounter an accidental scratch and there is no disinfectant around, you can mix some salt water to clean the wound first.

Weapon 4? Cucumber and tomato

Long-distance cycling has the opportunity to enjoy local food, but it is not as good as loyal cucumbers and tomatoes for the health of drivers.

Cucumber and tomato can be bought in most parts of the country in summer. It is recommended to supplement when riding, and take appropriate amount with you after washing. When resting, you can replenish water, adjust your taste, cook and eat, and it is nutritious. Female drivers can also slice their faces and soothe weathered skin.

Weapons, five-person potions
