In today's fitness market, there are any number of workout options. Many people choose to purchase a membership at a local gym or fitness club. Other people decide that running is the way they want to get healthier. Some people prefer swimming, walking, hiking, etc. There are plenty of options for people looking for exercise.

One popular option is bicycling. Bicycling is less stressful on the joints than running and more convenient than dashing off to the gym. Most people already have a bike so it's cheap to get into, and even if you don't have a bike, the investment is well worth it. Which do you think you're more likely to waste, a gym membership or a bike? At least you can loan out your bike or sell it if you don't want it.

So you've decided that you're going to get into biking as a way to improve your health. The first thing you need to do is get a bike. If you already have one that you feel is suitable, then feel free to skip this paragraph. For those of you looking to buy a new bike, your options can be narrowed down to a few basic choices.

First of all, how serious are you about bicycling? If you really intend to do some serious riding then you need to look at the more expensive, elite bicycles. The bikes carry higher price tags because of their decreased weight and increased features. They use space age materials such as carbon fiber and advanced designs. For most people a decent mid-grade bike will do. These bikes will have some of the features of more expensive bikes but without all the bells and whistles that a normal rider can do without. These bikes utilize reliable steel (or chrome-moly) frames and good shifters and solid brakes.

If you just want some kind of cheap ride to get around town, there are plenty of low-cost bikes out there, but you'll end up with a heavier bike that's more prone to falling apart. Such bikes should be fine for the short-term, but you'll probably have to replace it sooner than you'd like, especially if you use it a lot.

Another question you need to ask yourself is where you'll be riding the bike. Are you going to be mostly riding on sidewalks and roads, or will you be taking it on trails and rugged terrain? As you may've guessed, there are bikes designed specifically for the road and ones made for taking off-road.

Road bikes are light and fast and off-road bikes, popularly known as mountain bikes, are more rugged and often feature ride-softening suspension systems for the front and back wheels. There are also hybrid bikes designed to be taken pretty much anywhere.

After your bike, the next most important purchase you make will be safety gear. A good helmet is of the utmost importance. Many riders shun helmets but the smart rider knows how important they are. Nobody can predict an accident, and even the best riders have their bad moments so a good helmet is an extremely wise investment.

You may also want to look into gloves and possible knee and elbow pads if you're going to be doing some serious mountain biking. Also a pair of shoes with a good sole is important. A safety item many riders forget about is a light. You should do everything you can to make yourself visible to drivers. Good front and rear lights are mandatory if you're going to be riding in low-light conditions or at night. You may also want to consider clothing with reflective strips to make yourself more visible to drivers.

When it comes to the workout itself, remember the basics which apply to any kind of exercise. Eat properly. Drink plenty of water and sports drinks. Warm up before you take off on your bike. Do some stretches, and don't forget to stretch afterwards. You won't believe how much it'll cut down on your soreness if you stretch after your bike ride. Bicycling is a great, fun way to get into shape. It works almost every muscle in your body and builds up your cardiovascular health.

Fitting a Road Bike Frame to Your Needs

When you have the good fortune to be looking at new bicycles, though, you definitely want to look at a few elements besides the color of a road bike frame.Face it.When you're on your way back home from a long Sunday ride and you're riding your thirty-fifth mile smack into a stiff headwind, the fact that your frame is cobalt blue or even Bianchi green is not going to help you.The length of your carbon seatpost is going to help you and the length of your top tube and even the angle of the three main tubes all put together is going to help (or hinder) you, but color is not.

If you shop at a discount store or even a general purpose sports store, if you get any help at all in choosing a bike that fits you, it will probably consist of a clerk instructing you to stand over the top bar of the frame and see if you can comfortably straddle it with your feet on the floor.This is not really particularly helpful, especially if you happen to have anything unique about your physique, like long legs combined with a short torso.If you have long legs, you can straddle almost any bike, but will your body be able to relax comfortable in the stretch between your saddle and the handlebars?The whole geometry of the road bike carbon framem atters a lot to fit.And fit matters excessively to comfort.

If you're a racer, comfort will not be your only consideration.Indeed, it may be down among the last elements you consider.Speed is not usually built from comfort, and the road bike carbon frame that promotes speed is built of different materials than one used primarily for recreational riding.Frames can be made of carbon, chrome-moly, aluminum or steel, and each metal has different advantages of weight and strength.Frame geometry varies, too, with touring bikes featuring a longer vertical base and top tube than the skittish racing models.

So when you're looking at road bike carbon frame, think beyond the paint.Get a frame that fits both you and your purpose.Whether you doyour research online or in a good bike store, you'll be glad you took the time.

How much are my old BMX Freestyle bikes worth?

Hi,
I have 2 old BMX freestyle bikes that I would like to sell. 1 is a Schwinn Predator Pro, the frame is 4130 chrome-moly steel. The wheels are built up with, a Joytech hub set, with ARAYA aluminum rims, and have 48 spokes per wheel. All of the other parts on the Schwinn are labeled " YO! " including the tires. The other bike is a Mongoose Decade, it also has a 4130 Chrome-Moly frame. The wheels are Skyway 6 spokes, the components include Dia-Compe brakes, DynaMax saddle, and a Spin-Tech handlebar clamp. Both of these bikes have front forks and handlebars that can spin around with out tangling up the front brake cables. Both bikes have foot pegs on the front forkes, and mounting points for foot pegs on the rear drop-outs. These bikes be longed to my brother's boys, who use to do trick while ridding them. My brother gave the bikes to me to sell, and I want to know what their worth. My brother told me he payed over 200 dollars a piece for them new back in 1987.

Colo. town fetes its role in mountain biking lore
CRESTED BUTTE, COLO. — Glo Cunningham's first attempt to ride Pearl Pass did not begin well. "I had a three-speed and two of my three speeds broke on my way up the hill out of town," the 61-year-old cyclist from Crested Butte recalled. "Fortunately, the one that worked was the low gear."
