What preparations are needed for long-distance cycling?

As a cyclist, many have dreams of exploring the unknown on their beloved bicycles. However, before embarking on a long-distance cycling journey, it's important to accumulate some basic cycling experience and make sufficient preparations. Long-distance cycling presents more challenges and uncertainties than daily cycling, so it's important to plan ahead and understand factors such as road conditions.

Firstly, it's important to determine the destination and route. It's also important to pay attention to weather forecasts in the days leading up to the trip to avoid dangerous situations. The intensity of long-distance cycling should not be too great, and daily distances should be planned reasonably to avoid setting high goals that cannot be achieved or low goals that lack a sense of accomplishment.

Secondly, it's recommended to cycle with companions and carry ample supplies. In long-distance cycling, traveling with others can provide a safety net in case of unexpected situations. Cyclists should carry 2-3 liters of water, dry food, energy gels, or other easy-to-store and transport foods to replenish fluids and obtain energy quickly.

In addition to personal equipment such as clothing, backpacks, helmets, glasses, gloves, and cycling shoes, it's important to bring tools such as simple bicycle repair tools, pumps, spare tires, brake pads, chain oil, and easily damaged parts. Medications such as cold medicine, stomach medicine, heatstroke medicine, and band-aids should also be included.

Furthermore, cyclists can choose to use electric assist cycling equipment to reduce muscle strain and make cycling easier. In climbing or headwind situations, increasing electric assist can make cycling more effortless. Proper use of electric assist not only improves comfort during cycling but also ensures better handling of various road conditions and challenges. Moreover, utilizing electric assist during long-distance cycling can help conserve energy, enabling cyclists to better enjoy the joy of cycling without fatigue.
