Whether you are unlucky and get caught in the rain during your ride or you are a keen rider who doesn’t let a bit of rain slow you down, it is important to clean your bike after a rainy ride.
Follow these quick and easy steps to clean your bike in less than 15 minutes:
1. Hose down your bike: Make sure you clean thoroughly all grime and grit that accumulates under the frame and around the brakes and drivetrain.
TIP: there is no need to use a high-pressure wash if you hose down your bike straight after riding as the grit won’t have dried and set on your bike. Furthermore, high-pressure washing can get into your bearings, which is not desirable.
2. Dry your bike with an old rag: some people like to use old cotton T-shirts as they dry well and are more absorbent than polyester fabrics.
TIP: make sure that all grit and sand are removed prior to drying, otherwise it can scratch your frame.
3. Clean and l**e your drivetrain: start by using a degreaser to clean your chain and gears from any grit that didn’t come out previously. After drying your chain, apply l**e and clean any excess l**e as it will attract dirt and increase wear.
4. Check your tyres: after you have cleaned your bike, it is highly recommended to spend a minute checking your tyres from cuts and damage. It is difficult to notice broken glass and other foreign objects on the road while riding in the raining. As such, you should make sure that your tyres are in good condition and didn’t suffer any damage during your ride. This will not only improve your safety but also avoid unpleasant surprises during your next ride (e.g. flat tyres caused by slow punctures).

As part of our ‘cycling safe’ campaign for 2022, we want to share our top 10 tips for cycling safely and make your rides more enjoyable.
1. Plan your ride: in our opinion, this is one of the best ways to improve safety while riding your bicycle. Make sure you plan in advance the routes that you will be riding, trying to avoid busy roads with heavy vehicles and ensuring you ride along cycling-friendly routes ideally with cycling lanes or segregated cycleways.
2. Avoid times of heavy traffic: typically, early mornings and weekends have lighter traffic than commuting times. This can significantly reduce the likelihood of incidents between cyclists and vehicle users.
3. Always ride with your lights turned on: keeping your lights on, whether it is day or night, not only improves visibility but also helps raising awareness to vehicle drivers.
4. Use hand signals when changing lanes or turning left or right: this is always a good way to communicate your intentions to drivers behind you and giving them notice of the movement you are about to make.
5. Always ride in defensive mode: the truth is that regardless of who is at fault, cyclists will always take the most damage during a traffic incident. When riding alongside traffic, try to anticipate the manoeuvres of vehicle drivers and be ready to break at a short notice. Always keep an eye on drivers next and ahead of you.
6. Make yourself visible: Wearing bright colours is a great way to remain visible to vehicle drivers. Some cycling clothing brands specialise in highly visible garments with reflective fabrics. The latter is especially useful when riding at night.
7. Beware of parked vehicles: unfortunately, not all drivers check their mirrors before opening their doors. It is important to remain aware of parked vehicles and maintain a safe distance (at least 1m).
8. Respect pedestrians: when riding on a shared footpath/cycleway, it is important to be respectful of pedestrians and maintain a safe distance for their safety and that of the cyclist. Also, make sure you maintain an appropriate speed to minimise the potential consequences in the event of an incident.
9. Check your bicycle and riding equipment regularly: ensuring that your bike and riding equipment are in good condition is critical for your safety. Check your tyres, brakes and frame on a regular basis to make sure that the brakes are not worn, the frame has no cracks and the tyres do not have cuts and are in optimal condition.
10. Ride in a group: while it is not always possible to ride in a group, it is recommended to ride with other cyclists. Not only this helps improving visibility (due to the size of the riding group) but it is also safer having someone near you in the event of an incident.

Bicycle theft in Australia has seen a rapid increase in the past few years. For many of us, our bike is one of our most prized possessions.
We highly recommend all fellow cyclists to keep their bikes in a secure bike parking facility and invest in a good quality lock.
If your bike is stolen you should report it to the police and provide as many details as possible in case it is recovered. You can also register your stolen bike with BikeVAULT who works to disrupt bike theft and recover stolen bikes.
