Don’t dread the rain. Become an all-weather rider and never miss a commute with our tips and advice on how to make riding your bike around town in the wet a pleasure not a chore.
Riding your bike around town beats the traffic queues and is an easy way to keep fit, but if rainy weather makes you reach for your car keys or bus pass instead then it’s time to find the fun side of cycling in the rain. With the right kit and a little bit of preparation rain will no longer be a reason to leave your bike indoors.
Riding your bike, even on a wet day, is still more enjoyable, better for you and better for the environment than being on cramped, steamy public transport or stuck in a traffic jam.
Rain is never as bad once you are out as you think it will be when looking through the window. Showers pass and the sun comes out and when it does you might regret leaving your bike at home!
To make sure your bike is wet-weather ready, head to your nearest Shimano Service Centre.
