Keeping Your Cool While Biking

July 22, 2009

Biking is a great way to see the outdoors, and summertime is the perfect time to enjoy a bike ride.  However, the hot weather can sometimes make bike riding not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous.  Your water bottle does more than just hydrate you –freeze it overnight to keep it cooler longer during your ride.  It can be used to cool down your body temperature with a squirt over your head every so often.  Also, wrapping an icy bandana around your neck will keep your body cool.  Check out About.com’s David Fiedler, whose article includes links to great biking apparel and accessories.
