The weather just wouldn't warm up. What kind of May is this! After my short bike tours, one illness follows another. As I said, since I set off on tours within Istanbul at sunrise, the air hasn't warmed up yet, and you have to be ready for a biting frost. There are solutions to prevent illness and increase riding comfort on the bike. So what is this saviour?
The Catalan motorcyclist Joan Rojas came up with a solution in 1992 to this problem that I and many others face today. Its success, reachable with one click today in more than 70 countries including Turkey, is no coincidence. Buff is an accessory developed for use in outdoor activities. Buff as a name comes from the word bufanda, which means scarf in Spanish. Apparently in British street slang it also means good-looking 😀 Good looking Buff; with its sport type, material type, protection classification and different ways of wearing it, it can be a solution for every need. I've shared many ways of wearing it, like a scarf, hat, hairband or neck warmer, in the picture below.

In adrenaline-filled sports, if the breathing trouble that grows with speed, wind and fatigue goes a step further, first comes a little runny nose and after it a throat infection. This is where things go really wrong. Even if you're one of those who consider themselves tough, you need to take precautions. My suggestion , which I think suits spring for cycling, is the windproof and breathable (windstopper) type. To compare, I suggest you use the internet well and even stop by sports shops to see the differences in texture. Happy, healthy pedalling!
