Guide to Buying an E-bike
With the advances of battery technology and design, more and more people are making the switch to electric bikes —...
Following on from our ‘Rider Essentials’ page, we thought we’d give a more detailed look at how to pack your cycling jersey for a longer ride. This will keep you moving for a prolonged period and prepare you for most mishaps. Don’t be afraid to pack them tight. They can fit more than you think!
We recommend keeping your dominant hand on the handlebars. It’ll make it a little easier to stay safe while reaching for items in your pockets. If you’re a left-hander, you may want to place the food and lip balm in your right pocket. This will keep your strong arm on the handlebars.
You can arrange your pockets anyway you like, but here are BQ’s recommendations for packing like a pro.
Make sure you don’t let any sharp object get exposed when riding. When you’re loading it all in, cover pointy tyre levers and CO2 valves, so they don’t cause discomfort, damage innertubes, or ruin your food.
Before you head out for a big riding adventure like our Downer Brisbane to Gold Coast Challenge experiment with some of our suggestions. Try options that work best for you and help you have a safe and comfortable ride.
Happy riding!
