Visor misting up? Tread too low? If the equipment isn't right, every rainy ride becomes a nerve-racking affair. Get your gear right, and the fear of wet roads often shrinks all by itself.

The rain check

  • Visor: Check your Pinlock or anti-fog, keep the visor clean.
  • Tyres: Enough tread and the right pressure.
  • Clothing: A waterproof layer with you, gloves for the wet.

If you're well equipped, you ride more relaxed. If rainy rides still block you, you'll find the right mental training here.
