Cycling is a fantastic form of exercise for everyone regardless of age or ability level and Colorado Springs is a great place to do it, with its bike trails and numerous bike shops.
Riding a bike is a great way to get cardiovascular exercise as well as fresh air, a stress break, and lots of new friends. You're in charge of where you want to ride along with how fast and how hard you want to push yourself. For you older folks, riding a bike will help maintain your sense of balance as well as increase circulation to those aching knee and hip joints. Cycling builds stamina, confidence, and self-esteem for all involved and with rising gas prices it is in everyone's best interest to own a bike!
If you are new to riding, stop by a local bike shop for some expert guidance. There are many different types of bikes to suit your physical needs and your budget.
Here is some basic information about some of the different bicycles available. Bicycles such as 'hybrids' or 'cruiser' bikes offer a more upright position, larger more padded seats, and the option of accessories such as baskets, bells, mirrors, and cup holders. These bikes also have wider tires, are a bit heavier, and can be ridden on both pavement and flat trails. For those of you who'd like a faster, smoother ride but aren't ready for a road bike, try the 'urban' or 'commuter' bikes. Built more like a road bike but with straight, more upright handle bars, these bikes are great for fitness, bike path riding, and commuting. Mountain bikes are geared for off-road and trail riding with three dimensional tires, and the option of suspension and other more technical features. If you're interested in pursuing road cycling as a sport on a more intense level, road bikes are the way to go. Road bikes are typically referred to as racing bikes and are lighter in weight, more expensive, and have very small seats (referred to as saddles). If you and your other half prefer sharing the load, think about a tandem bicycle where you can both pedal at the same time, on the same bike. A fat loss review can help you establish a clear describe of what you demand to focus on to complete your fat burning objective if you're a rookie; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an advanced or more improve phase of their weight-loss plan.

Adult Trikes are making a comeback and are great for those of you wanting a steady, stable ride to the coffee shop or grocery store.
The great thing about bicycles is you can chose them based on what sort of seating position and fitness level works for you. You can also choose based on how easily you'd like to be able to come to a stop and put down your foot on the ground. Some bicycles are built to sit lower to the ground and more upright, while others are more aerodynamic and require more abdominal strength and streamlined position. Talk to your local bike shop about what type of bike is right for you. They will be able to raise or lower seat position as well, depending on the range of motion in your knee and hip joints.
Being new to cycling may sometimes be intimidating. Why not join a local bike club such as the Colorado Spring Cycling Club? They offer rides for new riders, families, and those with special needs.
