Preparation for Biwaichi

helmet	For safety, please be sure to wear one.(Free rental available)
Eyewear	We recommend wearing sunglasses or glasses to protect your eyes from sunlight, flying insects, and flying stones from cars.(Free rental available, limited quantity)
Upper Body	Dress in layers to accommodate temperature changes.We recommend wearing underwear made of dry materials.Even in summer, wearing long sleeves will protect you from the sun and in case of a fall.
Lower Body	It is best to avoid stiff denim and other materials and choose something that will not interfere with pedaling.We recommend cycling inner pants as they have padding to reduce pain.(Saddle covers available for free rental (limited quantity))
gloves	Cycling gloves are recommended as they will cushion the impact on your hands, but if you don't have any, any pair from a 100 yen store will do.Protects your hands in case of a fall.
shoes	We recommend low-cut, hard-soled athletic shoes.Velcro straps are better than shoelace straps because they prevent the laces from getting caught in the chain.
Bags	I recommend a waist bag.Pack your luggage small and light.If it doesn't fit, use a daypack.We do not recommend cross-body bags or one-shoulder bags as they put weight on one side, and large items such as rucksacks or backpacks are also unbalanced and unsuitable.
Light	The driving schedule is basically from sunrise to sunset, but it is necessary after sunset and when passing through tunnels. (A light that can be used with three AAA batteries is standard equipment on rental bicycles.) *When riding at night, be sure to be fully prepared by using additional lights and taillights.
Food and Drink	Please drink plenty of water.(Bottle cages are standard equipment on rental bicycles.) Nutritional intake every 1 to 2 hours is recommended.Be careful, because if you fail to take in nutrition for more than two hours, you risk going into a state of hunger.
punk	The most common problem is a flat tire.Please prepare Quick Shot (puncture repair agent), tube, tools, and a portable air pump.(Although they are available for free rental, there is a charge for the Quick Shot Tubes after use.)
