What to wear: Cycling

Cycling is gaining popularity -- more and more people are looking for ways to commute in a more eco-friendly manner, plus many of us like the added benefit of burning those calories.

If you're planning to ride your bike around to run some errands, you can wear pretty much whatever you want as long as it's comfortable and allows a good range of movement. However, if you're serious about taking up cycling as a sport, there are a few items you might want to pick up:

Taking up biking and loving it

Ever hear the phrase "go ride a bike?" Instead of taking that as an insult, how about taking it literally? One of the best cardio workouts I can think of that is also low-impact is biking. As long as the weather agrees, it's also incredibly refreshing.

This article explains the history and efficacy of biking as a form of exercise, and I couldn't agree more. The use of a stationary or recumbent bike is great for those winter months, but in the Spring, Summer and Fall, riding a bike outside (in a designated area if possible) is one of the most awesome workouts I can think of.

In fact, biking does not seem like exercise to me -- more like a fun activity. Yes, quality cycles can cost a pretty decent amount and can sometimes be hard to transport, but trust me on this -- it is worth the effort. There are plenty of months left this year to get on the cycling bandwagon. I highly recommend it.

Get the right fit for that bike!

With summer here in full force now, one thing I've been noticing is the amount of bike riders in my area. All the way from 6:00am to in the later afternoon, bike riders have taken to the streets and bike trails to get in that great cycling exercise as well as get a dose of fresh air you just can't get while in front of the TV.

But is that bike giving you the best "fit" that it can? Are you rising on air of riding on a meat hook? If you're feeling pain or discomfort while riding anything from the seat to the bike's size could be the problem.

The solution? Bring your bike to a cycling center or specialty shop and let them advise you on your body shape and the bike that fits it as best as possible. After all, you want to enjoy cycling and the fitness it gives you, not be frustrated by it!
