Four issues to be cautious about when cycling in summer
During summer weekends or holidays, many people enjoy riding bicycles in the countryside for the coolness and exercise. However, before embarking on a journey, it is important to prepare well and be wary of four potential problems: heat stroke, leg cramps, sunburn, and colds.

It is best to prepare a certain amount of medication such as essential balm, mosquito repellent before the trip. It is also important to bring plenty of water, chocolate, an umbrella, and other items for emergency use.

Be cautious of leg cramps. If you are not adequately prepared and engage in intense cycling, you may experience leg cramps. It is advisable to start with gentle cycling to allow your feet to adapt to the exercise before gradually increasing the intensity. After prolonged cycling, your feet may become swollen and congested, so it is important to rest and elevate your feet as much as possible during breaks to promote blood circulation. If there is a slope with a slight incline, you can lie down with your head down or rest your feet on the bike.

Be cautious of heat stroke. The recent high temperatures have led many people to choose to ride in the morning or evening. However, the temperature on the road can sometimes be higher than the average room temperature, especially in the afternoon. If you ride for a long time without any cover, you may be at risk of heat stroke. It is essential to cover your head and drink water frequently, not waiting until you are thirsty. Drinking diluted saline water or mineral water is preferable to replenish the salt and minerals lost when sweating. In dry areas, you should apply some oil to your nostrils to prevent dryness and ensure smooth breathing. If you experience heat stroke, you should help the affected person to cover themselves from the sun, have them drink more water, and apply some wind oil or other medicines. After resting for a while, you can continue, but if the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek immediate medical attention.

Be cautious of sunburn. Some people may not like wearing hats while cycling because they sweat heavily, but this is not recommended. Even with a lot of sunscreen lotion, it is not possible to prevent sunburn completely. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can lead to skin burns, dizziness, and other symptoms. Therefore, in addition to using sunscreen, it is best to wear a hat and veil to protect against both the sun and dust.

Be cautious of colds. Summer is also the rainy season. Sometimes, after the intense sun in the afternoon, there may be rain in some areas. In addition to bringing a raincoat or umbrella, it is best to bring a lightweight long-sleeved shirt. The temperature may drop after the rain, and if your clothing is soaked with sweat or rain, you may easily catch a cold. If you have to camp outside, bring a moisture-proof mat, change into dry clothes and at least a raincoat, and lie on top. Do not lie down randomly in sweaty clothes.

In addition to paying attention to the above four problems, if you want to cycle more comfortably, you may consider converting bicycle to electric bicycle using an ebike conversion kit. These kits include a motor, battery, controller, etc., which can transform your bike into an ebike, reducing physical exertion during cycling while increasing speed and mileage.

Lvbu Technology has devoted itself to developing the KF series battery powered bicycle kit, integrating environmental protection and intelligence. It has become very popular among office workers and middle-class people. The hub electric bike conversion kit consists of a brushless hub motor wheel, controller, and battery. The motor is set in the hub, and the entire wheel includes the rim and spokes, which are shipped complete, avoiding the inconvenience of self-assembly. The controller is designed like a water bottle holder and, when paired with the bottle-shaped battery, can be mounted on the bike frame. After installation, the appearance of the bike is almost identical to that of a regular bike. The wiring is simple and clean, and the installation takes only 3 minutes. Change the front wheel, install the bracket and controller, insert the bottle motor, and you're done. It is also easy to charge the bike. Just open the battery lock, remove the bottle, and take it with you.

The KF series electric hub conversion kit is equipped with Lvbu Micro-Power System, which has been developed for nine years, and the sensor in the controller captures and analyzes the rider's posture. Combined with big data algorithms, it calculates the power assistance required by the drive system, allowing the rider to switch freely between pedaling and assisted power to deal with various terrain conditions. The accompanying app can be connected to the wheel via Bluetooth on your phone, offering real-time and intuitive information about cycling data, assisting power size and mode adjustments, gyroscope angle settings, speeding alarms, firmware upgrades, loss reports, and other operations. The interface is easy to use and user-friendly. With the assistance of power, even climbing hills and rough roads will be effortless, and you can enjoy easy cycling even if you have insufficient physical strength.
