Step out of your cosy home in the morning and you will surely spot at least one person riding a bicycle. Since the last few months, there has been an uptick in the number of cycling enthusiasts in the country. For those who do not know, cycling daily for 20 minutes improves cardiovascular health, as well as, enhances your emotional well-being.

If you are new to cycling, be it due to the year 2020 or a long time plan to pick up cycling as a hobby, let us tell you that cycling can be really fun. To make your riding experience more enjoyable, here are 6 ips to keep in mind while riding your new bike.

The first thing you should check before you set off on your cycle is the height of the seat. If you keep the seat too high, you will end up with back pain. Or if you keep your seat too low, your knees might start aching. To get the correct posture, make sure your knees are slightly bent. 

You must have spotted cycles decked up with fancy gear. But you don’t have to burn a hole in your pocket for all these accessories. To always have a safe riding experience, you must only have two things- a helmet and a well-maintained cycle and you are good to go!

We have already mentioned this tip in the first point but again, before you start riding, always check out the seat of the cycle and the reach of your legs. To have a comfortable ride, make sure the inseam of your thigh fits comfortably. At Hero Cycles showroom, our staff will help you in finding you a perfect cycle.

Before you invest in your two-wheeler, you should know that there are different sizes of tyres available in the market. Each size has its own set of pros and cons. For instance, the 16 size wheels are the smallest bicycle wheels you will see on adult bikes. They are commonly found in a kid’s bicycle. Meanwhile, for an adult, the 26-wheel size is a good option.

Once you start cycling, you feel a sense of freedom. For beginners, the best way to enjoy cycling is to take it out for 15-20 minutes. With time, once you have gained confidence over your riding skills, you can ride for a longer duration. However, it is always better to ride slowly and for less time. This allows you to enjoy each moment and also doesn’t leave you exhausted. 

Riding your cycle is great fun but there are times when the fun ceases because of a flat tyre. If your first thought is to call a friend, stop right there. Carry a small kit with tools. You will thank us later!

Now that you are well aware about these easy hacks, take out your bicycle and embark on a new journey. Happy riding!The end.
