Even with shorter distances, you may encounter unpleasant situations for which you need to prepare. All the more so when you go outside the city. There you certainly don&#8217;t want to deal with a<strong> popped inner tube, thirst or a sudden change in the<\/strong> <strong>weather<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re a pro, you probably already have a perfect grasp of what you need to always have with you. In case you&#8217;re just starting out with cycling, I&#8217;m sure you could use some advice on what to look out for and what not to underestimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_important_tips_on_how_to_prepare_for_a_bike_trip\"><\/span>7 important tips on how to prepare for a bike trip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Minimum amount of items and maximum usability.<\/strong> That&#8217;s how we might characterize the equipment of every proper cyclist. Apart from tools and inner tube replacement aids, however, you should not forget about <strong>optimal clothing, safety equipment and, of<\/strong> <strong>course, plenty of food and drink<\/strong>. In the following seven points, we will give you some advice on how to make the most of your ride, minimize the risks and be able to cope in the event of an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Take_the_basic_tools_with_you\"><\/span>1. Take the basic tools with you <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In case there&#8217;s a technical problem, you should have<strong> tools<\/strong> with you that you can solve it. Don&#8217;t worry, no one is asking you to carry eight screwdrivers, pliers and drag a compressor behind you. You can make do with a cycling <strong>multi-key<\/strong>, which contains several dimensions of a hex key, screwdrivers, or a nipple key wheel rim, a chain puller or tyre levers. It&#8217;s <strong>easily stored<\/strong>, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about it being too heavy or too big. You can fit it in the smallest bike box. In case you pop a tyre, break the chain or have a similar problem, you will be able to <strong>help yourself with the tools<\/strong> and continue on your way. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[4-5]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While riding, you may also encounter a glitch that you will not be able to resolve on your own. If you carry the necessary tools, you will surely find a<strong> more experienced cyclist to help<\/strong> you. I&#8217;m sure the people in this community won&#8217;t leave you in the lurch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Do_not_forget_a_spare_inner_tube\"><\/span>2. Do not forget a spare inner tube <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Popped tyres are among the most common problems<\/strong> faced by cyclists. If you ride regularly, this problem may well happen to you, if it hasn&#8217;t already. Fortunately, you can easily solve it yourself. For inner tube wheel bikes, it is ideal to have a <strong>spare tube or high-quality glue, hand pump or CO2 bomb and tyre lever.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is now possible to purchase tubeless bikes (TubeLess Ready system). Any smaller hole will be closed by an inner <strong>tubeless sealant<\/strong>. For a larger hole, <strong>wicks will help, or a spare tube or tyre insert can be used.<\/strong> It&#8217;s quite large, though, and you probably won&#8217;t be bringing it along for every ride. You can easily store all your bike replacement equipment in a bicycle bag. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[3]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-874294912-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"How to change the inner tube of a flat tyre?\" class=\"wp-image-286746\" style=\"width:843px;height:562px\" title=\"How to change the inner tube of a flat tyre?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-874294912-1124x749.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-874294912-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-874294912-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-874294912-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Have_enough_food_and_drinks_with_you\"><\/span>3.

Pack a spare layer of clothing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because it&#8217;s 23 degrees outside, and you normally wear a T-shirt and shorts, doesn&#8217;t mean these layers will be enough on your bike. Think of it as different if you&#8217;re standing on a hot housing estate where the sun is shining, or <strong>riding through a cold<\/strong> <strong>forest in the shade<\/strong>. The wind also affects the temperature you feel, and if you&#8217;re whizzing down the hill at 60 km\/h, you can <strong>easily<\/strong> <strong>catch a chill<\/strong>. If it&#8217;s 30 degrees outside and you know you don&#8217;t have a long route ahead of you, shorts and a short sleeve will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For longer trips, it is definitely appropriate to have an extra layer. An easily packed <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/stormbreaker-jacket-for-men-strix.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">windbreaker<\/a> that doesn&#8217;t blow through can work perfectly. However, <strong>various types of hand and foot covers are also very popular among cyclists and are easy to wear when<\/strong> <strong>the weather changes<\/strong>. Their advantage is that they take up virtually no space. You simply put them in the back pocket of your jersey and you won&#8217;t even know you&#8217;re carrying anything extra. You can also put them in a small cycling bag. If you generally have a problem with being cold in the feet, I can only recommend <strong>shoe covers<\/strong> that don&#8217;t blow through and maintain warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, think about working up a sweat. It is therefore a good idea to take a <span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/men-s-functional-top-infinity-i-strix.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">spare base layer<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for longer cycle trips, which you can replace with a dry one so that you don&#8217;t get cold when it gets colder. Try to always select <strong>functional materials that will remove sweat and keep you dry<\/strong>. Equally, think about when riding on a slight incline forward on your bike. The top (jersey or T-shirt) should thus have an extended length and ideally a silicone bottom hem, so that it does not roll up and you get cold on your back during the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"747\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1287500516-1124x747.jpg\" alt=\"What is the best gear for cycling?\" class=\"wp-image-286761\" style=\"width:843px;height:560px\" title=\"What is the best gear for cycling?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1287500516-1124x747.jpg 1124w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1287500516-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1287500516-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gymbeam.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1287500516-2048x1360.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1124px) 100vw, 1124px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Think_about_safety_equipment\"><\/span>5. Think about safety equipment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every cyclist should do their best to be as <strong>safe as possible<\/strong> while riding. The most obvious, which we hardly need to mention any more, should be a <strong>helmet<\/strong>. Each country has specific rules for its wear, which must be taken into account. In most European countries, for example, the <strong>wearing of a helmet is mandatory for children under the age of 18<\/strong>. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[7]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t wear a helmet, you might be persuaded to by the following data. Some <strong>25,000 cyclists died on European roads<\/strong> between 2004 and 2013. Around half of the deaths are caused by a collision between a cyclist and a car. There is even a study that compares the risk of cycling and being in a car. The likelihood of serious injury when riding is <strong>23 times higher for cyclists than for<\/strong> <strong>car drivers<\/strong>. To some extent, the risk is also associated with the fact that the bike takes longer to cover the distance, and so the cyclist is exposed to danger for a longer period of time. Still, the benefits of cycling outweigh the potential negatives. This is a great way to promote your health. The WHO (World Health Organisation) even estimates that <strong>if you cycle for more than 100<\/strong> <strong>minutes a week, the likelihood of death decreases by 10% for<\/strong> <strong>every given year<\/strong>. Therefore, don&#8217;t avoid cycling, just do your best to minimize the potential risks. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[2]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Basic equipment also includes <strong>cycling glasses<\/strong> to protect you from the sun. These also prevent wind, insects, dust, or other impurities from getting into your eyes unnecessarily. Nor should you <strong>underestimate reflective elements on your clothes and bike<\/strong> <strong>lights<\/strong>. Even if you&#8217;re out for a ride in the afternoon and you&#8217;re convinced you&#8217;ll be back soon, you never know what might happen. You can easily get lost or pop a tyre and it will take you some time to repair it. Before you know it, it&#8217;s getting dark and you&#8217;re on the road without being seen. The <strong>front (white) and rear (red) lights<\/strong> should thus be the absolute minimum with which you should not leave home without.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In case you are going out on a bike with smaller children, you can also equip them with <strong>reflective vests<\/strong> in addition to the safety equipment mentioned. Reflective elements are visible up to 300 metres in dim lighting, and can be more so for the higher quality elements. By all means spare no expense when it comes to safety, and purchase the smallest of cyclists a high-quality vest in which drivers and passers-by can see them. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[1]<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Particularly when driving through the city or on bike paths, you should never forget to include a <strong>bell in your kit to help with a<\/strong> <strong>smooth ride<\/strong>. There are now also so-called invisible bells available, which are practically invisible on your bike. You don&#8217;t have to worry, therefore, that it would not suit your bike.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1124\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/gymbeam.cz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/iStock-1327993464-1124x749.jpg\" alt=\"Helmet, lights, vest and reflective elements.

Before you cycle, make an <strong>objective assessment of your physical<\/strong> <strong>condition<\/strong>. Start with lighter routes and <strong>gradually increase the<\/strong> <strong>distance and add hills<\/strong>. Think also that sitting on a bike is not the same as sitting on a couch at home. At least on the first couple of rides, you&#8217;ll probably have a lot of pain in your buttocks.

Choose a suitable terrain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you chosen a track with a bike park along the way? It would be a shame not to visit it, unless you&#8217;re riding on a road. In that case, you&#8217;d better steer clear of it with a wide berth. In addition to destroying your bike, you are more likely to hurt yourself. <strong>Every type of bike has its specifics and terrain to which it belongs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amongst the most known types of bikes we include:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Road bike<\/strong> &#8211; lighter bike, adapted to roads to have the least resistance. It is not sprung and has lower stability due to narrower tires. It is therefore not suitable for unpaved surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mountain bike<\/strong> &#8211; there are many types of mountain bikes, such as XC, trail or all mountain. They have wider tires and are generally sprung. It is therefore suitable for unpaved surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trekking bike<\/strong> &#8211; the frame resembles a mountain bike, the bikes are the same size as a road bike with the difference that they have wider tires. They&#8217;re often sprung. This is a more comfortable touring bike that is suitable for longer treks even on unpaved surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gravel<\/strong> &#8211; a type of bike that has recently become increasingly popular. It looks like a road bike in appearance, except that it has a tougher frame and rims. The wheels have a pattern and so are more stable than a road bike. You can ride it without any problem through the forest and on dirt roads or gravel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Folding bike<\/strong> &#8211; city bike, ideal for commuting to work. It can be folded and easily carried. Therefore, it is also suitable for vacations exploring the environment around you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electric bike<\/strong> &#8211; a bike with an engine that can make it easier for a cyclist to pedal. It is particularly ideal for older people or as a rehabilitation aid. It is particularly popular among those who do not have an adequate physical condition and still want to try a longer trip in challenging terrain. When you go riding a bike together in a group with different physiques, the less able can go electric and then all can enjoy the trip, unless their battery goes flat. <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">[8]<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re thinking about purchasing a bike, think about how you&#8217;d like to use it and choose the right type accordingly. There is no point in riding hard on the roads on a mountain bike, just as you should not go on an unpaved forest road with a road bike.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_should_you_remember\"><\/span>What should you remember?   <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, it&#8217;s not enough to just get on your bike and get going. Even on short trips, there are <strong>many risks you should be<\/strong> <strong>prepared for<\/strong>. If you follow our advice, you&#8217;ll have the equipment to fix the most common problems. In addition, you will minimize any inconvenience you face. <strong>This way, you will not overestimate your ability, you will choose the right terrain, you will have enough<\/strong> <strong>energy in the form of a high-quality diet<\/strong>, and the safety equipment will make you visible to those around you.
