Riding and wedding ring
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
I have a titanium wedding ring, I always take mine off before cycling.
Not only is it because I don't want to lose it, but it's uncomfortable to wear it, it saves weight (This is WW after all) and If I come off and it gets stuck on, there may be issues getting it off.
If i leave from home it stays on my bedside table, if at work it gets left in my desk drawer until following day.
If I'm anywhere else, it would get stored somewhere else (I only every leave from a relatives house, my house or work)

Also had that "what if I crash and rip my finger off" fear.
And sometimes that ring scratches the bar (flat aerobar with no bar tape)
There is quite and easy solution.
Silicone rings.
I have been using one for the past 2 years.
And that callus it sometimes makes on your hand....gone.

Always wear my ti ring on a cord as a necklace when riding. How much it swings tells me how much my torso is rocking when I'm riding up a hill!
Dimples: Laminar flow separates more easily from a surface than turbulent air. Delayed separation reduces drag. A groove perpendicular to the flow triggers laminar to turbulent conversion. A spinning object uses dimples so an edge always faces the flow.
Usually gloves cover the ring well and prevent risks of having it stuck somewhere causing catastrophic injuries.
Now the risk that remains is to have a trauma that inflate the finger and cut blood circulation with here also terrible consequences.
I personally let ring home or put my it on my chain, so without risks to lose it.

Never worn my ring since almost losing it on a boat in Venice during my honeymoon.

During my bike rides (or home work, other sports etc...) I am using a silicone ring.

I heard that firefighters also use silicone rings. My wife has also bought now some silicones rings for that purpose.
Bonus for WW: it is much lighter than my regular wedding ring. LOL
