Bike More: Four Roads to Extending Your Cycling Experience

Riding a bicycle is a favorite recreation for people of all ages and a healthy one too: regular cycling strengthens muscles including the heart, decreases body fat and alleviates stress. There are many reasons to bike more, but what are some ways to work more cycling into your busy life? Here are four ideas to increase your pedaling productivity.

Commute

One sure way to ensure you spend regular time on your bike is to make it part of your work routine. This will be a good time to use an electric bicycle alberta ca because the motor assist will allow you to reach speeds of 32 km (20 miles) per hour with the motor alone, more if you pedal at the same time. Cycling to work has several advantages: fuel cost savings, access to routes that cars don’t use meaning no more getting stuck in gridlock, exercise and more time outdoors.

Take Longer Rides

Riding regularly will help build your stamina so you can extend your trips. Challenge yourself—if you ride for 30 minutes effortlessly, plan a trip that may take an hour; keep doubling until you can tackle day trips or a weekend getaway. This is another good time to use an e-bike, so if you get tired or end up in inclement weather you can rely on motor assist. Some e-bikes have tires good on multiple types of terrain so you are not limited to paved city streets.

Cycle With Friends

Participating in rides with other cyclers will open up new worlds of the sport. They will share favorite trails you haven’t discovered yet; plus the social aspect makes every trip healthier and more fun.

Take a Cycling Holiday

Many tour groups offer vacations designed to combine your love of cycling with your love of travel. Unlike vehicle road trips, cycling excursions allow you to see the sights at ground level. No need to worry about pacing or getting hurt, because the tours include medical and transportation support. When you need rest, take it. Then get back on the seat and pedal away.
