Outdoor cycling is very popular at the moment. It is a physical exercise, and it is necessary to carry the necessary equipment, which can better protect the body and increase the riding mileage. Below, let's take a look at what equipment is needed for outdoor riding.

1. Cycling helmet

You should wear a helmet whenever and wherever you ride. The head is an important part of the human body. When encountering a huge impact, the helmet can relieve the force of the impact, reduce the degree of injury to the rider, and improve the probability of survival. When buying a helmet, pay attention to the breathability of the helmet, and try to choose a helmet with high strength.

2. Cycling gloves

Some people think that wearing gloves is unnecessary, but it is not. Good quality cycling gloves have the functions of breathability, shock absorption, slip resistance and sweat absorption. If you ride outdoors for a long time and hold your hands tightly on the handlebars for a long time, it will cause pain due to friction, and may even break the skin.

Especially when we encounter some bumpy mountain roads, the posture of holding the handlebars firmly for a long time will cause the whole palm to vibrate with the mountain road, which will lead to hand numbness over time. So it is necessary to develop a good habit of wearing gloves.

3. Cycling glasses

If it is a daily short-distance leisure ride, wearing sunglasses can also be used. But if you ride at high speeds, or ride for a long time, often, wearing a pair of cycling glasses is necessary. Wearing cycling glasses will make your eyes more comfortable and reduce the chance of conjunctivitis.

4. Cycling water bottle

The riding bottle can be firmly attached to the car with the bottle cage, and if you use a purchased beverage bottle, it can easily fall off during bumps. And soft plastic or rubber riding water bottles are also more comfortable when drinking. With the cycling bottle, you only need to squeeze the soft bottle with one hand to quickly dispense a large amount of water, which is very efficient and safe.

5. Cycling clothes

In addition to the basic functions of keeping warm and covering, the cycling clothing also has the functions of reducing wind resistance, perspiration, ventilation, easy washing, and quick drying. Generally speaking, cycling clothing is close-fitting. When you are riding a road bike at high speed, a cycling clothing can give you less wind resistance and speed up your speed.

Exercise can make the body stronger, improve the body's immunity and disease resistance, and reduce the incidence of diseases. Exercise can also maintain normal function of people's organs, helping to slow down the speed of aging in the human body. So, what are the benefits of cycling? Let's find out together.

1. Exercise the muscles

Cycling can stretch and exercise the muscles of the whole body, especially the muscles of the shoulders, back and legs can become strong and make the body stronger. In the process of cycling, the body can also sweat, which helps to improve body weight and expel metabolic waste from the body, making the environment in the body better.

2. Enhance cardiopulmonary function

When people ride a bicycle, the blood circulation of the whole body will increase, which will help to strengthen the body's metabolism and make the heart function more powerful. In addition, when a person rides a bicycle, the breathing rate is accelerated, so that the lungs absorb more oxygen, which also has a certain enhancement effect on the lung function.

3. Reduce the incidence of chronic diseases

Regular cycling can effectively enhance the speed of blood circulation, burn body fat, reduce the probability of suffering from basic chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids, and the body will remain healthy.
