]]>Stability
Cycling shoes are clipped into the pedal, which means that the cyclist is more connected to the bike and is offered stability and comfort. The fact that you don’t have to worry about your foot slipping off the pedal means that you’ll be more focused and safe during cycling.
More Power
Cycling shoes are designed to keep your feet in the best possible position to avoid any inefficient movements. This means that they can help save your energy while pedaling, and as a result, boost your cycling power and efficiency.
Prevent Injuries
Even though cycling is a low-impact activity, many cyclists suffer from foot and leg injuries. Most of these injuries can be avoided or reduced simply by using cycling shoes that can keep your foot in a good position and minimize any irregular movements.
Proper Body Alignment
One of the reasons why cycling shoes are great for preventing injuries is that they promote proper body alignment by keeping our foot, ankle, and knee in a better position.

]]>Plan Your Route
Organization is key when it comes to cycling in hot weather, so make sure to do your research ahead of time. Plan your routine carefully and find location where you can cool off and refill your water. Needless to say that the most enjoyable cycling routes for summer are around lakes and rivers.

Staying hydrated is the most important thing for riding a bike in hot weather. The best way to ensure that your water stays cold as long as possible is to freeze it the night before.
Wear Sunscreen
Don’t forget to apply sunscreen before heading out because this product is not reserved for beach days only. Make sure to protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen every two hours.
Morning and Evening Rides
Last but not least, the best way to avoid the hottest periods of the day is to plan an early morning or evening ride. These are definitely the safest but also the most enjoyable rides, because you’ll avoid traffic and get to enjoy the sunrise or sunset.

As you can assume, SmartHalo is a smart app and a perfect cycling buddy that can track your progress. But it can also guide you on your rides and keep you protected, because it has an anti-theft alarm. The only thing you need to do is focus on the road and enjoy the ride!
Turn Signal Gloves
Tech website VentureBeat named these gloves “the greatest gift to cyclists since the helmet”, and for a good reason. Turn Signal Gloves are made from comfortable, quality material and are equipped with LED lights and sensors to make your ride more enjoyable and safe.
Hövding 3 Airbag
It looks like cycle helmets are going to be a thing of the past soon, because this smart airbag is apparently the safest helmet in the world right now. It’s an invisible airbag that’s worn round the neck and inflates in case of an accident. It can even notify your emergency contacts that you’ve been in an accident if it’s connected to the app.

]]>Winter Cycling Clothing
Obviously, the most important thing for riding in cold weather is the right clothing. Winter cycling clothing is not cheap, but investing in it is worth every penny. Thermal and windproof clothes will keep you dry and warm on your winter rides so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold.
Stay Visible
Safety should be your priority, particularly during winter months when days are short, weather conditions are poor and most people actually don’t expect to see too many cyclists on the road. Make sure to stay visible even in daylight by wearing bright clothes and using lights.
(@fitme_happyme)Check Your Bike
Experienced cyclists already know how to properly take care of their bike. However, this is particularly important during winter months because rain, snow and salt can really damage the bike if you don’t protect it. This means checking the tires before every ride and cleaning the chain, gears, and cranks at least once in two weeks.
