I’m thinking of taking up (bicycle) biking?

I don’t get very much exercise so I was thinking of taking up road biking. I don’t really know what i’m in for though…i live in a place with lots of big hills and stuff. Also I don’t exactly have a road bike. I have a very old bike thats still in good condition, but it’s more of a mountain bike. Anyways if anyone has any advice they can give me on biking then i’d appreciate it.

Cycling is a great way to burn calories and can be very enjoyable. Glad to see you take an interest in it.

I would advise you to make sure that old bike is a comfortable fit for you. If it is not the right size for you (too big or too small), it might be uncomfortable to ride and may cause aches and pains.

If it is the right fit for you, start off riding around your neighborhood. Build your endurance with successively longer rides. Above all, use common sense and ride safely.

Talk to other cyclists and learn more about the different kind of bikes, and develop an idea of what kind of cycling you’d like to do. Once you really get into it, think about going to a local bike shop and shop for a nice fitted bike.

Enjoy, and good luck!
