We're currently in storm / typhoon season in Japan, which means lots and lots of rain. I had a great ride planned today, but it got ruined by the rain! 😠 And so I finally had the motivation to make this video. My pro tips for cycling in the rain / commuting in the rain. This video should be helpful for both the casual commuter as well as for the experienced cyclist.
I tried to include as many tips for cycling in the rain / wet as possible in this video. I go over different waterproof clothing options, bags, lights, aero helmets, shoes, shoe covers, tire pressure, riding tips, etc.. Here are some useful products for cycling in the rain.

I hope this advice helps and stay safe out there when riding in the wet! The roads can get a bit slippery, especially when changing pavement surfaces. Try sitting down as much as possible rather than standing and also lower your tire pressure a bit to get more traction. Remember your braking power is also greatly reduced in the rain (unless you're using disc brakes).
Be extra safe out there while riding in the wet, and enjoy the ride!
