Heat can turn a pleasant bike ride into an exhausting ordeal. At Wilma, we understand the unique challenges female cyclists face when riding in hot weather. That’s why we’ve put together the best tips to help you stay cool and comfortable, even when the temperature rises.
1. Choose the Right Time to Drive
To avoid the hottest part of the day, plan your outings for early morning or late afternoon. These times of day are generally cooler, allowing you to enjoy your outing without suffering from excessive heat.
2. Stay Properly Hydrated
