What is the experience of riding a bicycle in Chongqing: 1. Climb the slope at will, about 10°, as long as you ride a bicycle out, you will usually encounter several. 2. You are basically the only bicycle on the road. You can ride it for more than ten or twenty kilometers for a long time, and you don’t even have the chance to find a rider to say hello. 3. Non-motorized vehicle lanes do not exist, except for a few places with symbolic sections. Bicycles are still prohibited on some sections of the road. For example, if a bicycle is arrested on Beibin Road, the police have the right to impose a fine of 10-20. Why doesn’t there be non-motorized vehicle lanes in Chongqing? I don’t know if it was because there were few cyclists that did not repair non-motorized vehicle lanes, or because there were no non-motorized vehicle lanes that did not repair non-motorized vehicle lanes. Then why do I still have to ride a bike? I think it may be because of love.
What is the difference between not climbing a hill and salted fish? Moreover, Chongqing is really steep slopes are relatively short, usually just gentle slopes. After going up the slope, there are downhills for you to wave. Although there are no non-motorized lanes, as long as you miss the rush hour in the morning and evening, it is still very pleasant to speed up because there are few cyclists. Anyway, it feels better than riding a bike in the next city. There are too many non-motorized lanes there, and there are also many people changing lanes, so I feel depressed when riding.
When you plan to commute by bike, it is best to consider the following issues clearly. 1. Don’t be too far from work. If the one-way trip exceeds 20 kilometers, I really don’t recommend it. After all, riding a bicycle is still a relatively tiring activity and it also takes more time. 2. Is there a place to park? In many places, you are not allowed to bring bicycles into the elevator. The parking lot is not responsible for storage. The bicycle is small and light. If you encounter someone who is not clean, you will pick it up or load it into the car and run away. Here I want to complain about our factory. Originally, my bicycle and other cars were parked open-air, but later I repaired a bicycle parking shed as required by the group. I was so happy at that time that I finally didn’t need to be exposed to the wind and sun. But when the factory manager saw that there were nearly a thousand people in the factory, he stopped using it.
3. Try not to be too expensive for the bicycle. If you don’t show your wealth, your heart will be separated from your belly. You cannot guarantee that people will not leave the car. 4. What should I do if your sweat and wet clothes are on your body after arriving at the company? Especially in the current summer, you can accept it, but others may not be able to tolerate it.
Regarding bicycle commuting, I plan to talk about my own understanding from body equipment and personal equipment based on my own situation.
What if you choose road bike , mountain bike or folding bike ? Road cars are relatively expensive, and even those who don’t know how to use cars know that your car is more valuable. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. As long as my mountain bike is still pleasing to the eye, I usually don’t know how to wash the car. At most, wash the chain, put some oil on it, and put it in the parking lot, completely obscured in the car group. Folding cars are actually a good choice for commuting. If you fold them, just go to the office without taking up any space. Why didn’t I choose a folding bike? To be precise, why didn’t I change a folding bike? Because when I bought a car, my brother in the car shop asked me what I was doing for buying a car and said I was riding a bike to and from get off work, so I recommended me to buy a mountain bike. At that time, Xiaobai was a little boy and didn’t know what road bike folding bikes there were. But the folding car is not completely perfect. Although the folding car can also lift the speed, it requires a big-tooth ratio (hang the largest disc and the smallest flywheel). Your power cannot withstand this big-tooth ratio. You will be tired in less than a while. However, mountain bikes can find a suitable tooth ratio, and can still increase the speed through high cadence. Due to the small wheel diameter and poor passability of the folding car, the road conditions in Chongqing are still not very good. I also like to dig the road and rebuilt it. If you encounter a hurdle or a dam, it will slow down, which will greatly affect the riding experience. The most important thing is that due to structural reasons, the folding car has poor rigidity and is not suitable for shaking. In Chongqing, you will always encounter some slopes that cannot be climbed without shaking. I originally planned to change it, but in the end I still didn’t change the folding car. I feel that mountain bikes are more suitable for my commuting needs. Other cities are not very clear about bicycles taking light rail subways. As long as the front wheel is removed in Chongqing, you will be brought in until the morning and evening rush hour, because if the front wheel is removed, you will be no longer a car or a cargo. Sometimes when we plan to go to a relatively far place to roam, we will do this, and most security inspectors will not stop it.

At that time, the car dealer said that this car is good and is within the budget, and it seems to be 2300. Although the front fork is a bit bad and the gear shift kit is a bit low-end, it is basically enough.
Fender
Tire-changed half-bald tires, so that the road resistance is smaller and the grip is OK. If you don’t want the mud on your butt and back, you should just put on the fender. Although it is a bit ugly, it can make you go to work more elegantly and go home cleaner. Our water sprinkler truck seems to be worthwhile, and it sprinkles the road for a long time as if it has rained heavily.

Generally, original pedals are relatively cheap and workmanship is not good. This pedal area of Vigor is large enough, with anti-slip studs, and will not slip due to high cadence. The disadvantage is that this nicknamed meat grinder. Anyway, I was taught many hardships when I was wearing shorts.
kettle hanger
This is not recommended, it is very useless, and it is not a big problem to install a normal kettle. My LD likes to drink Coke. Sometimes when I go home, I will ask me to buy a bottle of Coke downstairs to go back. Because the edge of it is less protruding, the Coke bottle cannot be placed on it, which is very easy to fall off. As a result, LD said many times that I deliberately messed with her.
air cylinder bracket
In the past, when I went out to ride, I would put a portable air pump. Later, after using the gas cylinder, I found that this product was bulky and laborious. Now the ride only brings a gas cylinder

Decathlon Bicycle Floor High Pressure Invigorating Pump Air Pump Method Mouth Mei Mouth Football Basketball Household Equipment HC99.9 Yuan
It is recommended to buy a large pump at home. Decathlon supports American and French mouths and also has a pressure gauge. It is also very convenient to buy some adapter to cheer up the children's swimming ring.

Put bicycles without gussets, oil the chain, check the bicycle, this bracket can still come in handy.

car lock is a thing that is to prevent gentlemen and not villains, and there is no need to buy too expensive ones. Others sincerely want to steal. Even if they can't steal the frame, they will remove the wheels and take them away on the pole, and you will still cry without tears.
tail light

This tail light is highly recommended, 120LM, red and blue double flash, the last one was used for nearly four years before it broke. Although it does not have many functions as smart taillights, it is simple and reliable, brighter than the headlights of many riders, and the most important price is even cheaper.
headlight

Plus Xuelong V3 has been used for five years, it looks a bit worn, but it is not broken, so I can't bear to replace it. Even if you don’t ride at night, what if you pass through a tunnel without electricity, it is recommended to install one. Choose a headlight mainly depends on the brightness and floodlight, and try to choose a high-brightness and high-floodlight.
bell

It's better than nothing, but I rang the bell behind people, and basically no one in front of me responded.
The little yellow duck that has been very popular recently is good as a ornament.

capacity is not large, suitable for putting some small things, such as tire change tools, mobile phones, tissues and emergency contact phones made by me with waterproof bags, with names, LD phones, blood type, just in case.
Maoyan code table

Later, I changed the GPS code table. Every time I stopped in the factory, I had to take the code table off and take it away. Although there were more detection data, it was too troublesome. I will change back to this meter later, and I have the time and speed I want. Moreover, no one can take it on the trailer, and even if I am left alone, I won’t feel sorry for it. If you talk about the disadvantage, it looks a little LOW, so don’t install this model for road cars, or GPS codecs are better.

Because you ride a bike to and from get off work, the distance is generally not far, so it is unnecessary to ride pants, and it is also a bit fancy, but quick-drying clothes, helmets, and gloves are still needed. Since we have a locker room in the factory, we will change our work clothes after we arrive, so it doesn’t matter even if the clothes are wet.

For your own safety, it is strongly recommended to bring one helmet.
Last time I fell off my car, my helmet broke, and I’m lucky that my mind is fine. When choosing a helmet, you must choose an integrated mold. Don’t try to make it cheap. The integrated impact resistance is much better.
American technician
Now the American technician Taobao store has been closed, so the link will not be posted. This is a very good design, with the shock absorbing pad on the palm and the anti-slip glue on the back of the hand, which can all play a certain protective role. Because when you fall a car, people will subconsciously support the ground with their hands, which has a certain effect of protecting their palms.
packages
summer clothes and bags are rare, and you always have to bring some messy things to work. In most cases, the backpack is a waist bag, and there are more things to bring, so I choose a postman bag. I rarely choose a backpack, mainly because the backpack is breathable, which is still far from the other two models.
The biggest advantage of commuting on a bicycle is that you don’t have to endure traffic jams, especially when the city is getting more and more congested. Time is controlled by yourself, and you can also exercise your body and improve your lung capacity, endurance, and lasting. But you must pay attention to safety when riding a bicycle, abide by traffic rules, and don’t make that one or two seconds, after all, you are a meat-wrapped iron.
