Eating

This hot temperature makes the human body easy to lose water, so drink plenty of water. In addition, hot weather always make people lose their appetite. A healthy and refreshing salad is a good choice. For this kind of fresh ingredients, the most fearful thing is not keeping them fresh. Our Himiway bike bag uses a durable nylon structure with a heat-reflective lining, which can effectively keep food fresh.

Living

You must ventilate regularly to maintain air circulation and you can keep healthy. If you have pets at home, you should remember to add moisture to your pets in time to reduce going out. Or you can play some sports indoors with your pet, to increase your immune.

Traveling

If you travel short distances in such high temperatures, Himiway Bike is undoubtedly the most suitable means of transportation.

But this is not only a waste of electricity and not friendly to the environment. Also, there are a lot of potential dangers. People will leave their children or pets in sealed cars. Then, something unlucky will happen. Although this kind of thing does not happen many times, even once, it will make people regret it for a lifetime. Thus, under no circumstances should young children and pets stay in the car unattended.The above example is more extreme. A common problem is that cars generate too much heat. This temperature can burn you whenever you are near a car.

So, Electric bikes with lower heat production seem to be more suitable for short-distance travel. Of course, choosing the right travel time is also very important. It is not recommended that you go out at noon or afternoon.
