Freezing fog is the worst. Suddenly you can't see, the cars can't see, and the previously bone dry road becomes an Olympic ice rink. It just looks like fog but at 5K feet it becomes freezing fog. Lots of cars in the ditch. The best plan I have is to get off the road and into the dirt by the side of the road if I am on my fat tire bike. On my velomobile I get over too but wait 20 minutes and watch a GCN+ show while I drink coffee and blow hot coffee breath over my phone so it doesn't ice up and obscure my GCN+ show.

Yes, I use a strobe front and tail light in the day no matter what the weather conditions are. Nighttime... enough lights that I probably near the level of obnoxious, but it is better than being a dead cyclist story on the local six o'clock news.

@cilldaracyclist2822 3 года назад
@@SLOPPEWALL yeah I'm the exact same, during the day I usually use smaller flashing lights, something like 60 lumen on the front and 15 on the back but at night......I have them plus a few others, a 1000 lumen headlight, and a 260 lumen rear, usually at night I'll have up to 8 lights on the bike front and back, may seem like overkill to some but I don't wanna be on the news either, ironically enough drivers don't always see me even with all the lights...

My last really wet ride was an 85 mile ride, 37* F (3* C) at the start. I was the only one in the group with fenders. Fenders are great for keeping mud of off yourself, but also _much_ nicer to ride behind in a group. Of course now that I have a bunch of nice cold / wet weather gear, I end up on Zwift on most of the days where I might use it.

It's a bit of a different situation when you've got a training plan that basically forces you to get out and ride, no matter the weather. Also, usually a bad weather ride gets better once you warm up, provided you wear the right clothing.

I bought dedicated rainproof cycling shoes with an integrated neoprene "sock", and while they are more expensive than overshoes, they are also much easier to put on, and therefore much more useful. Too often I used to find myself not bothering to put the overshoes on, thinking "it's not THAT wet" and arriving at my destination with soaked feet.

Not too sure about reducing tyre pressure when it rains. When I rode the 2019 prudential because the weather was abysmal The general advice was to reduce tyre pressure. Following continental’s advice I didn’t whereas many of my fellow riders did and some suffered several punctures. So, when riding in the wet perhaps you should follow the manufacturers advice.

Goretex socks will keep you drier than most over shoes. If you ride in hot Esther you’ll sweat in a jacket. If you ride in cotton socks without protection you’ll get blisters.

Biggest mistake was to believe the gloves manufacturers that their gloves are waterproof. if one wears the gloves at wrist level on top of the jacket as in the video they will get wet inside pretty quickly. If needed I put plastic over gloves on, and plastic bags on my feet. It also helps (a bit) to put the trousers straps not around the feet but around the shoes/over shoes , so less water slips into them. As i only wear my older clothes in bad weather I don't really care for mudguards with slick tires, bike has to be cleaned anyway and clothes washed.. and a wet bum/legs don't really bother me unless it also gets really cold.

Wool socks. Thin, high % wool dress socks can be layered, and can keep squishy feet from becoming life-threatening, while not becoming too hot for the rest of a ride. Water has a way of getting into even good winter boots, so you may as well expect it. And if you actually are “planning” to ride in the dark and/or rain, bring spare blinkies in case your primaries *ever* crap out. Even the tiniest blinky is far better than having nothing in the dark!

kool-stop brake pads ftw, i cant give a review of them because i havent Just Yet got to them in my brake pad stash; they are at the top. lower cadence is better because you can place your weight where it ought be rather than spining in conditions you should be maintaining a bias for safety reasons. on slippery surfaces i stand over the front wheel 80% and utilize the low-rake fork's ability to keep an edge in the ground rather than slushing like if/with more rake

Ironically, when illustrating the last post-ride tip, I was sure you were going to share wisdom about doffing wet kit as quickly as feasible for dry clothes (even if a shower isn’t nearby). But, alas, you prioritized drivetrain maintenance over engine care. I’ve spent far too many hours in wet spandex to put up with an extra minute beyond what’s necessary! ;-)

tire pressure! I got a snake bite puncture from riding in the rainy dark over a sunken sewer cover. I had probably not put air in my tires for about a week at that point. Since then, I'd been religious about riding at full pressure year round. It wasn't until this past winter when I started rolling my 23s at 80 PSI! I'm a tiny lady so what the hell was I thinking 125 psi?! A pound of pressure for each pound I weigh?! NUTSSSSS! Also, peak down and lenses year round.

the biggest mistake is not stopping when it gets really bad. Thats what trees have evolved for over millions of years simply for riders to wait under until the rain eases.

I rode in the rain and snow to work everyday for 10 years to retirement. Now I don't do it and ride everyday only when dry. I live where it hardly rains so if it does rain I take a rest day. It is that simple and enjoyable.

The other reason to use mudguards is so as to not spray your mates trying to follow behind.
