Cycling safety tipps with Alain Rumpf
5 tips for a successful road cycling trip
5 cycling safety tipps
Study your route and make sure you are fit enough for the ride. In the mountains, elevation matters more than kilometres.
Use the proper gearing to climb the passes comfortably. Minimum: 34x28, if possible 34x32
In the mountains, the weather can change quickly and you might get cold on the descents. Wear appropriate clothing and bring at least a windbreaker, even in fair weather.
Bring enough to eat and drink. There are many fountains along the route to fill your water bottles.
Descend with caution, control your speed and always keep right.
