6 Tips for Rain Riding

[Kalidurga]

Some good, encouraging tips from Unholy Roleur, who is Washington, DC's version of Bike Snob NYC: 6 Tips for Rain Riding (http://unholyrouleur-jim.blogspot.com/2008/05/6-tips-for-rain-riding.html). Most of it is pretty much common sense. But some of it is stuff a lot of riders (like me) might not think about, such as water in the rims after riding through deep puddles.

Dunno why, but since I bought a new bike a couple of years ago, I've become a weenie about riding in the rain. This was a good reminder that I need to HTFU :eek: ;)

Someone once told me to store your bike upside down after a wet ride to let water drain out of the seat tube and keep the bottom bracket from rusting. Of course that's just for steel.

I can't get that link to open here today (dial-up + rainy weekend = sllllooooow connection)

But something you should always do after a rainy ride is wipe down your bike and squirt a tad of CRC onto the chain/gears

Those were great (and comically written which entertained me whilst reading). I just wish he had tips for riding in the insane wind- that's what I need help with. ;)
Thanks for sharing. :)

Good Lord, me too....if you find one, let me know.

I also want one that's STFU. I would say that all the time if I could get away with it!
