Bicycle Your Way to Health and Happiness
Bicycling is an enjoyable way to build strength and endurance without a high risk of placing stress on your ankles, shins, knees or hips (which is a major concern with jogging and other forms of high-impact exercise.) A recently created website, BicyleBest. com provides excellent advice on all aspects of biking. From finding the right bike to information about bike safety courses and bike tours, this site has it all.

Bicycle riding is one of the most rewarding forms of cardiovascular exercise. Whether your bicycling sport of choice is mountain biking, free ride, downhill, dual slalom or cross-country you know you'll be getting a great workout while having a fun time. The number one tip is to make sure your bike fits your body properly, just like your clothes or your shoes.
The frame size of your bicycle is most important since it can not easily be changed. For maximum comfort the correct frame for you should have 1 or 2 inches of "standover." The seat, or "saddle," should be at a height that leaves you with a slight bend in the knee with your feet on the pedals. The front and back of the saddle should be horizontal, with a slight dip in the middle. And handlebar height also affects your ride and comfort. Lower handlebars equate to greater performance, while higher handlebars provide greater comfort.
Whether you're a newcomer, a part-time enthusiast, a recreational rider, or an old pro, you can get just about everything you want out of bicycle riding if you have the right knowledge and the correct equipment.
Whichever type of bicycle riding you do, your equipment needs will differ, so use the Internet, do some research and find the gear that is right for you. http://www. BicyleBest. com (http://www.
