“Work hard during the day, change into riding gear at night, ride around in the dark, and feel alive.” “There is no time during the day, and the weather is hot, and the cool wind blows at night, which makes it very cool to ride.” “Every ordinary place, when you ride at night, it has a different taste, and suddenly I feel that Yuyao is so beautiful!”…In Yuyao , the group size of night riding is already considerable. These cycling enthusiasts in the night have also become a flowing landscape of the city.
At around 7 o’clock in the evening on the 22nd, at the Giant Yuyao store located on Siming East Road, the owner Zhou Feng was busy assembling the bicycles that had just arrived. “The number of friends who ride bikes has suddenly increased, because everyone’s health awareness is constantly awakening, and the threshold for cycling is relatively low.” As an operator, Zhou Feng has the most intuitive feeling for the popularity of cycling, “We An average of 20 to 30 customers are received every day. Since the beginning of July, the store has sold more than 400 cars, an increase of nearly 50% compared to usual. Take the best-selling model Escape 1 as an example, from the time the order is placed to the time it arrives, it takes ten hours to wait. Day and half a month.”
Zhou Feng, who specializes in bicycle sales, repair and maintenance, has another identity as the head of Yangming Bicycle Club. Since its establishment in 2006, the club has grown from strength to strength, and currently has more than 600 active riders. During July and August, Zhou Feng launched a night riding event through the WeChat group every week, and thirty or forty people signed up for each event. “Start from the store at 7:00 p.m., and ride along the Siming Mountain Gate and around the Meihu Reservoir with fellow riders. We will also take the beginners to the greenway for some adaptive training.” Zhou Feng said.
At present, bicycles on the market are generally divided into two categories: road bikes and mountain bikes. Road bikes are suitable for riding on roads, they are fast, but difficult to control and expensive; mountain bikes have strong adaptability to road conditions and good handling, but are relatively heavy. Zhou Feng recommends the prospective “knights” who are still waiting to try the flat-handle road bike suitable for riding on urban paved roads. It is fast, light and easy to use.
Asked about the precautions for night riding, Zhou Feng blurted out the word “safety”: Helmets, gloves, headlights, and taillights are the most basic safety equipment, and there are also cycling clothes and pants made of quick-drying fabrics, which can wick away sweat. It is more comfortable and protects the buttocks from excessive friction. In addition, cycling enthusiasts should “ride” according to their own abilities, set goals scientifically and reasonably, practice a lot in a safe environment, and progress step by step.
