Need Help Prepping For A Bike Ride? Tips In The Description! 😃🚵🏽‍♀️

✨Ever feel like getting ready for a ride is not always so straightforward? Depending on the ride length, terrain, weather conditions, and other aspects, preparation might range from 10 minutes to an half an hour (possibly more in some cases 😬). Here’s a general checklist to help:

Pre-Ride Preparation Checklist

1. Gear Up (5–10 minutes)
• 👷‍♀️🧠💖 Helmet – show your head some love by always wearing one & properly adjusting.
• 🧤🧤Gloves – For grip and protection.
• 😎 Sunglasses – Helps with glare, wind, and debris.
• ☀️🧴Sunscreen – Apply to exposed skin, even on cloudy days.
• 👟Cycling Shoes – If using clipless pedals, ensure cleats are secure.

2. Hydration & Nutrition (5 minutes)
• 💦Water & Electrolytes – Fill bottles or hydration pack.
• 🍬Snacks/Fuel – Pack what you need based on ride length (gels, bars, fruit, etc.).

3. 🚵‍♀️Bike Check (5–10 minutes) (The “ABC Quick Check”)
• A – Air – Check tire pressure and inflate as needed.🛞
• B – Brakes – Squeeze levers to ensure proper function. 🛑
• C – Chain & Drivetrain – Lube if needed and ensure smooth shifting. ⛓️
• Quick Release & Bolts – Check that wheels and components are secure.🔩

4. 🛟 Final Check & Safety Gear (2–5 minutes)
• Lights – If riding early/late, confirm they’re charged and working.🔦
• Flat Kit – Tube, tire levers, pump/CO2, multi-tool. 🔧
• Phone & ID – Just in case, plus navigation if needed. 📞🆔

A little extra time to prep ensures a smoother, safer, and more enjoyable ride. Preparing the night before may also help promote better sleep and prevent dreams about all of the things needed to get ready for your ride in the morning. 💤🌙😃
