Getting Started With Senior Cycling

1

Start With a Bike Check

Make sure your bike is properly adjusted for comfort. Seat height matters more than speed. Visit a local shop if you haven't cycled in years.

2

Invest in Comfort Gear

Padded shorts, proper shoes, and a comfortable saddle make a huge difference. You'll actually enjoy riding instead of enduring it.

3

Bring Water and Snacks

Stay hydrated. Pack some energy bars or fruit. The routes have cafés, but carrying your own means you're never stuck.

4

Go With a Friend

Cycling with someone else is safer and more fun. You'll keep each other motivated and can help if anyone has trouble.
