It's been a long, cold winter, but you've stuck to your exercise schedule at the local health club. Now spring is here, and you deserve a reward for your perseverance.
Cycling has quite a lot going for it.
It's low-impact, so you can give your lower body a good workout without putting a pounding on your knees and feet. It's as much fun to ride by yourself as it is with the family or a group of friends. Best of all, a bicycle is a fat-burning machine. We recommend a mountain bike, which provides a great workout and is easier to maneuver than a ten-speed. They may not be the most attractive piece of headwear ever designed, but should an accident occur, they provide serious protection to your noggin.
