bicycle helmets women image
secret
I am a 25 years old woman, and would like to take my bike for rides around my neighboor and go errands around. I would like some tips or warnings what could do to be safe and do the right things here in Texas.
I cannot take a drive licences, because I don't have rights so I want to stick with my bicycle!
Answer
Use a bicycle helmet, wear bright colors, get a basket for carrying things, take a good lock and lock both wheels and lock it to something strong, follow the same rules that cars have to use, don't trust any cars to wait at stop signs, wear crash gloves, make sure your bike is in good condition-good brakes. Do not ride the wrong way against the traffic flow. Take the less busy side roads even if it is longer distance to go somewhere.Be alert for broken glass and bad holes in the road. Watch out for everyone all the time.Ride with a friend if you can. Do not ride after dark because you will be invisible! Start keeping a record of your distances traveling. Go to the library and read everything you can find about biking. It is a great way to travel just stay alert all the time like a bird does.

What clothing do you recommend for riding your bicycle to work in the rain?

How do I stay warm and dry in the chilly (sometimes cold), wet winters in northern California? What things are necessities and what things are a waste of my money? Please give suggestions for the top of my head all the way down to the tips of my toes! Recommendations of specific brands are helpful, too.
Answer
It's been my experience that when choosing clothes for wear during inclement weather situations you have four concerns, they're affordable, keeps you dry, maintains your own level of comfort, and allows you to remain visible to motorists and pedestrians. Performancebike.com has a good selection of women's rain wear to look at, along with specs on what situations are best for those particular items. They're usually reasonable priced and if you like to shop around to compare prices before making purchases, performance bike also sells through through amazon.com.
I noticed a few guys plugging Goretex clothing. And while Goretex products are goods, if not the best, for cold and rainy days if you look at the listings on the Goretex website link provided below, they're not inexpensive in the least. The least expensive pair of waterproof pants is $100 dollars US, and the one they've made expressly for female bicyclists is twice that amount, so I'd really have to hope that those rainy days are vicious and often to justify the expense.
I can say this much confidently. If you get yourself a cap to wear under the helmet, a pair of pants and a jacket/coat that will keep your head and body dry from the rain, what you wear underneath will not matter in the least. The only concern you'll have is bicycle lighting, footwear, and socks at this point. And honestly, just about any type of comfortable waterproof footwear will do, if you're using regular pedals as opposed to clips. Best of luck to you. Ride smartly and safely.
