Tell someone your route before hitting the road. 🚴♀️
They say you never forget how to ride a bike, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're fully ready to jump into road cycling as a sport.
You don't even have be a leisurely cyclist to train for a race. However, what you absolutely do need before getting started, Krall said, is a clear understanding of traffic laws and hand signals — and, of course, the right gear. "When purchasing your first bike, it is worthwhile to do a little extra research either online or going to talk to your local bike shop," Krall said."A bike shop can answer questions you may have, recommend different bikes, and tell you about all the local paths and trails to ride on."Why It's Probably Time For You to Buy a BikeA helmet is a nonnegotiable, so don't saddle up without one. Krall also suggested lights for your bike and a flat repair kit.
When it comes to mapping out your first ride, Krall said to take your personal fitness level and your confidence on your bike into consideration. As a rule, and to reduce the chances of painful injuries, it's better to start with shorter rides and add on as you feel more comfortable.
