Before leaving
Check weather warnings and a return option. Inspect lights, brakes and tyres, and protect essentials from water. Balance rain protection with ventilation.
During the ride
Reduce speed and leave more room for braking and turns. Watch wet markings, metal covers, leaves and puddles; avoid abrupt movements and water of unknown depth.
After returning
Clean and dry the bicycle following its instructions. Check tyres and brakes. Use appropriate lubrication and keep it off braking surfaces; investigate unusual braking or noises.
