Learning the long-term benefits of cycling as an active exercise is a journey. And to make matters more complicated, there are several types of cycling, all with a different focus. Each carries demands, financial and physical. The commonality is they are all good and can affect your life in unimaginable ways.
To those just beginning this sport, a recognition of sorts: Any type of cycling can be intimidating. It's not like when you were a kid, and you hopped on the bike your dad got you and off you went. Today it's about the type of bike you jump on (road/endurance/track, urban/commuter, gravel or mountain), the route you take (country road/course/velodrome, city streets/trails, county road or singletrack) and the way you are equipped to handle it (clothing/shoes/bike/Helmet).
In any, knowing common techniques for a safe, fun ride is to your advantage. Couple that with a thorough knowledge of the right type of gear and you're well on your way to becoming more than a rookie.
Top20Cycling is a tool to help all cyclists explore different areas of the sport, or expand the knowledge of even the most experienced of them. We will provide information on all aspects of the sport needed to make it enjoyable - from gear reviews, race and ride calendars, to maps and trails so you can not only find the type of ride you'd like to do but be well equipped to do them.
