Cycling is the coolest way to have a fun, active – and fi t lifestyle. Make sure you prepare for it the right way.
India has seen a mini revolution over the past decade. What people do in their free time has changed. From sitting in the confines of their homes and watching television, a whole segment of our office-going population has switched to incorporating fitness into their routines. This change has seen an escalation in the number of people picking up cycling as a hobby. It is one of the best ways to incorporate fi tness into one’s life, because it happens to be a low impact sport, with little to no chances of injury.
Cycling culture has grown exponentially over the past few years, and is only growing bigger by the day. Almost every city has come up with local cycling clubs, events, racing teams and now with Ciclo Café in Gurugram, Hyderabad and Chennai, even food joints are promoting good food along with cycling for a healthy lifestyle. Cycling as a weekend activity is becoming popular, as a means to commute and even as a sport.
It’s a great idea to visit the local bike shop and learn about the city’s cycling culture. From experience, I know cycle shops to be very welcoming. They have grown into spots for social gatherings nowadays, with many hosting small biking events every now and then. Here are some important pointers to anybody who would like to foray into the world of cycling. These pointers are also applicable to those who have already begun to explore the joys of pedalling:
