By Matt Wikstrom Verified| cyclingtips.com@ There are many reasons why riders abhor the rain, be it the discomfort of wet clothing (wet socks are the worst), the risk of coming unstuck, or the extra maintenance required to clean up the bike and keep it running smoothly and quietly. Having spent several years as a year-round commuter, I thought I was familiar with all of the reasons why it was worth staying off the bike on a rainy day, but one recently caught me by surprise. Apparently there is also a bigger risk of getting a puncture.

We publish news, tech reviews, interviews, feature articles and tips (of course) about everything from the science of cycling through to road safety, and a healthy dose of big beautiful images that will have you longing for long weekend rides on amazing roads.
