Temps are Up because Summer is Here!
Here are some Riding Tips to Beat the Heat!

Also, shiny clothes are also applicable because it reflect most of the incident visible light. Dark colors absorb most of the visible light and are always warmer in the daytime.
2. Chill, Take Your Time. Don't push your limits. Comfortable biking is advisable for more healthy benefits. Because of more heat this summer, this will lessen some of your energy that cause you to get tired fast. Just take your time one step at a time and relax.

4. Minimize Your Load. Of course, much load will spend more of your energy. Load off some unnecessary things during your biking trip. Just bring what you needed and your tools for emergency purposes.
