If you try hard enough, you’ll always find an excuse not to ride. Make this year the year that you ride regardless of the weather. If it’s raining at 6am when you need to leave the house to commute to work, who cares – get pedalling anyway.

Waterproof your commute: waterproof cycling gear

So long as you’ve invested in the appropriate wet weather riding gear, cycling in the rain really won’t be as torturous as you’ve convinced yourself it will be. And after you’ve pedalled in the rain a couple of times, a little bit of water falling from the sky will stop phasing you all together. A packed tube full of soggy commuters has got to be way more terrifying than slightly damp cycling leggings anyway.

Give it a go – we challenge you.
