That means <strong>extra caution is needed<\/strong>, especially on cobblestones, fallen leaves and manhole covers, which can become dangerously slippery. Slow down and ride with care.<br\/><br\/><strong>Corners<\/strong> are particularly risky when the surface is slick.

Yes,<strong> aquaplaning<\/strong> can happen on a bike too.<\/p>\n\n<p>And don&#8217;t forget visibility. Rain &#8211; especially heavy rain &#8211; can make it harder for you to see and be seen. Make sure you&#8217;re clearly visible to others and adjust your speed accordingly.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ausrustung-fur-fahrradfahren-bei-regen\"><strong>Essential Gear for Rainy Rides<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>There&#8217;s <strong>no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing<\/strong>.

Look for jackets and trousers with a high hydrostatic head rating &#8211; we recommend at least <strong>20,000 mm<\/strong>. In heavy rain, wind pressure can force water through lower-rated fabrics.<br\/><br\/>Opt for a <strong>rain jacket<\/strong> with a longer cut at the back to protect against spray, and pair it with cycling-specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/waterproof-trousers\/\">waterproof trousers<\/a>. These are often reinforced in the seat and crotch to withstand the wear and tear of pedalling.<\/p>\n\n<p>Keep your <strong>hands and feet dry<\/strong> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/gloves\/recommended-use--cycling\/properties--waterproof\/\">waterproof gloves<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/cycling-overshoes\/properties--waterproof\/\">overshoes<\/a>. Choose gloves with <strong>extended cuffs that seal neatly with your jacket sleeves<\/strong>, and ensure your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/cycling-overshoes\/\">overshoes<\/a> fit snugly over your trousers<\/strong> to prevent water ingress.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Your helmet is a given<\/strong>, but keeping your head dry requires one of two options: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/cycling-jackets\/\">cycling jacket<\/a> with a <strong>hood designed to fit over your helmet<\/strong>, or a <strong>dedicated helmet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/rain-covers\/\">rain cover<\/a><\/strong>. The latter is compact, easy to store and quick to put on when the skies open.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-schutzbleche-amp-co-das-gehort-bei-regen-ans-rad\">Mudguards and More: What Your Bike Needs in the Rain<\/h3>\n\n<p>One of the biggest challenges when cycling in the rain is the <strong>spray from below<\/strong>. Without proper protection, it quickly becomes an uncomfortable experience. Thankfully, someone once had the brilliant idea to invent <strong>mudguards<\/strong>. These are often standard on trekking and commuter bikes but can also be retrofitted with relative ease. Many <strong>models are quick to attach and remove<\/strong>, so you can use them only when needed.<\/p>\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, visibility is reduced in wet weather. It&#8217;s essential to equip your bike with <strong>waterproof lights<\/strong> to ensure you&#8217;re seen. <strong>Reflective elements and bright clothing<\/strong> also play a key role in keeping you safe. If your rain gear isn&#8217;t reflective, you can <strong>add visibility with patches, armbands or safety vests<\/strong>. Reflective stickers on your bike are another smart addition, especially if you often ride in the rain, during the shoulder seasons or in winter darkness.<\/p>\n\n<p>Your <strong>choice of tyres<\/strong> &#8211; and more importantly, your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/bike-tyre-pressure-calculator\/\">tyre pressure<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; can significantly <strong>affect how your bike handles in the wet. Rain-specific<\/strong> or <strong>all-weather tyres<\/strong> offer better grip, and slightly reducing your tyre pressure helps improve traction. We recommend <strong>lowering<\/strong> <strong>the pressure by around 20 percent<\/strong> in wet conditions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Radfahren-im-Regen_Nasse-Kurve.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"959\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Radfahren-im-Regen_Nasse-Kurve.jpg\" alt=\"Wet road\" class=\"wp-image-116805\" style=\"width:250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Radfahren-im-Regen_Nasse-Kurve.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Radfahren-im-Regen_Nasse-Kurve-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Take your foot off the (accelerator) pedal: Wet bends are particularly treacherous when cycling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-weitere-tipps-furs-radfahren-bei-regen\">More Tips for Cycling in the Rain<\/h2>\n\n<p>The most effective way to stay safe in the rain is to adjust your speed. Slow down, especially before <strong>corners<\/strong>, so you can ride through them <strong>without braking<\/strong>. Braking mid-turn on a wet surface can easily cause your bike to slide out from beneath you.<\/p>\n\n<p>When riding on the road, <strong>anticipation is everything<\/strong>. Watch out for slippery hazards like cobblestones, manhole covers and wet leaves &#8211; not to mention other road users. And remember, your <strong>braking distance will be longer on wet terrain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>After your ride, give your bike a thorough clean. Moisture mixed with road grime is a recipe for rust. Pay special attention to your <strong>chain<\/strong>, which should be <strong>cleaned and oiled<\/strong> more frequently in wet weather. If you ride in the rain regularly, it may be worth investing in a chain oil designed specifically for wet conditions.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ein-fazit\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n<p>After all that, even as a self-confessed fair-weather cyclist, I&#8217;m finding it harder to justify skipping a ride just because the weather looks a bit grim. Though I must admit, my inner sloth is still putting up a strong fight.<\/p>\n\n<p>In any case, I hope these tips help make your next rainy ride safer, and a little more comfortable too.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or call our Gearheads.
