Riding in Wet Weather
-
Allow for longer braking distances.
-
Brake more gently on slick surfaces.
-
Use the front brake less.
-
Dry wheel rims by applying brakes ahead of time. Even if the ground is not slick, wet rims will reduce performance.
-
Turn and accelerate more gently to prevent sliding on slick surfaces.
-
Pay special attention to surfaces such as manhole covers, painted traffic markings, wet leaves and oil slicks.
-
Be prepared to put a foot down for balance.
-
Avoid riding through puddles, which can hide deep potholes.
-
After riding in the rain, lubricate your bike chain to help prevent rust.
