Everyone who lives in Guangdong knows this very well
This year, there has been more rainy weather in Guangdong than in previous years
It rains almost every few days
It even rains several times a day
It was really hot and humid
Shu Huang asked here
Go out to ride a bicycle, "motorcycle"
In case of rain
Would you choose to ride with an umbrella in one hand?
Or obediently put on the raincoat and set off
In fact
It is not easy to control the balance of the vehicle when riding a bicycle with a one-handed handlebar
In the event of an emergency, it is too late to respond
It is easy to deviate and fall
Or even collide with other vehicles
Hold an umbrella in one hand and ride a bicycle in the other
It seems that the riding technique is "superb" and convenient and trouble-free
In fact, the security risks are very large!
On a rainy day, riding a bicycle with an umbrella and one hand could not react to the accident
Accident case 1: On the morning of May 21, 2024, in rainy weather, when Luo was riding an electric bicycle with an umbrella in one hand to the gate of an industrial park in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, a car happened to drive by, and Luo collided with the car because he couldn't react and fell to the ground.
Accident case 2: At noon on May 24, 2024, Ou drove an electric bicycle with an umbrella in one hand, driving in the opposite direction on a section of Jiuwei Road, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, and collided with the electric bicycle driven by Teng due to obstructed vision.
Looking at the above cases
We can see the common ground
Riding with an umbrella in one hand on rainy days
The consequences of this are:
Obstructed vision and sluggish operation
It's too late to react when an accident happens!
What are the dangers of riding with an umbrella on a rainy day?
It affects driving, and the vehicle is difficult to control
When a rider holds an umbrella with one hand and controls the vehicle with the other, it will be difficult to control the direction and lose the balance of the center of gravity, which will lead to accidents.
The line of sight is disturbed, making it difficult to maintain a safe distance
In order to ensure that the rider is not wet by the rain, the rider who rides with an umbrella on a rainy day will deliberately lower the umbrella, resulting in the sight being blocked, affecting the normal riding, and the open umbrella is also easy to rub with other vehicles and pedestrians on the road.
The umbrella becomes a "speed parasol", increasing the risk of riding
In case of windy and rainy weather, the umbrella will become a "deceleration umbrella", which increases the riding resistance, and it is easy to cause people and cars to fall together.
Coveting the convenience of the moment
In the end, it will only be you who will be hurt
@"Motorcycle" riders
When riding on rainy days
Attention should be paid to the following aspects
01Choose the right rain gear
It is recommended to use a raincoat for rainy riding and hold the handlebars of the e-bike tightly with both hands. To choose a raincoat of moderate size, do not be too long or too large, to prevent the line of sight from being blocked by the raincoat, the raincoat divided into tops and rain pants is the best, and it is flexible to get on and off the car, which does not affect the operation.
02Wear the helmet correctly
You still need to wear a helmet when riding in rainy days, and be careful not to put the raincoat on the helmet to prevent the raincoat from affecting your vision, hindering your head from turning and causing inconvenience to driving. Cyclists who wear glasses are best to choose a helmet with a windshield to prevent rain from getting their glasses wet and causing blurred vision.
03Avoid waterlogged roads
Try to avoid waterlogged roads to prevent potholes or obstacles underwater. When the water situation is unclear, do not wade blindly, let alone take the river road, the water level may rise at any time.
▲The wheels of the electric car are stuck in the crevices of the stone road
04Slow down
Slippery roads can cause tires to slip, so slow down. At the same time, pay more attention to the movements of other people and vehicles, drive defensively, keep a safe distance, and give yourself enough time to brake.
The traffic police Shu Huang reminded again
Do not hold an umbrella when riding in rainy weather
There are hidden dangers that hinder safety
Please ride according to the rules
Go out happily
Go home safely
