Keep Fit without Knowing it: the Electric Bike

Filed under: ATBs, MTBs, etc. — @ 4:45 am

Not getting enough exercise? It’s a normal thought - we all realize this, and still so much gets in our way of doing exercise. We watch individuals packed into gymnasiums working out, and consider : I must travel to the gym, pay up my membership fee, then workout. It seems like loads of hassle, isn’t there something I can do that’s not going to throw away my time - something that’s even practical?

Then you may consider buying a push bike, as cycling is a very effective means to get fit. You can bike to work or do some shopping, so it’s rather useful. It’s also cost-effective - there’s no gasoline involved and the maintenance are next to nothing. It’s also environmentally friendly. Oh, and it improves your health too!

Yet many people are put off getting a bike because it’s TOO much exercise. As crazy as that sounds, it could be because they may be elderly, live in a hilly location or have a particular ailment that make pedaling too much effort for their capabilities. Also for a few people, it’s not realistic cycling to their work since they will sweat too much because of the exertions of pedaling.

So this is where e-bikes, or electric bikes come in. Electric bikes give you a breather on the severe hills simply by twisting your hand on the handlebar and allowing the electric motor take over - pedalling is no longer required then. Then when you feel up to it, just start pedalling. You get modest exercise and fresh air without breaking a sweat. E-bikes are also very cheap to run requiring only a daily battery re-charge if you cycle about 30-40k a day, although most individuals require only two re-charges per week since they are not doing this kind of mileage. You can find a local supplier of electric bikes by looking on the internet.

Nowadays the actual cost of buying an electric bike have dropped in price, so you can find yourself saving a lot of cash on fuel, bus fares, gym memberships etc. by purchasing and on a regular basis using an e-bike.

How to Hold Your Own on Fast Club Rides

How to Hold Your Own on Fast Club Rides

By Fred Matheny of www.RoadBikeRider.com

The major activity of any cycling club, racing or touring, is the group ride. As a result, it’s important to know how to hang tough on a given ride and make yourself welcome on the next one. Success is often due to more than fitness.

Here’s a club cycling primer!

  • Know the group’s traditions.

Some clubs like to start all rides, no matter how fast they’ll eventually become, with 20 or 30 minutes of easy warm-up. If you’re impatient early, you can cause hard feelings by chafing at the bit to go faster. When you know the pattern, it’s easier to be patient.

  • Know what kind of ride is planned.

Will it be a fast training ride? A leisurely spin? Paceline practice? It’s disruptive when most of the group is thinking one thing while one or two cyclists are on a different agenda. If an easy recovery ride is scheduled, but you’re out for hard training, people are going to get angry. Be certain of the ride’s goal before the start.

  • Don’t be a loco locomotive.

If you’re having trouble taking your pulls at the front, get off quickly and slide back to get maximum draft in the paceline. It’s far better to sit on the back and let others do the work than to slow everyone with valiant but sluggish turns at the front.

  • Use a racing trick if you often get dropped on climbs.

As a climb begins, be nestled in the front third of the bunch. Get as much draft as possible. If you can’t hold the pace, don’t blow up trying. Let yourself slide back through the group but still be in contact at the top.

  • Accept help on hills.

Stronger cyclists may give you a helpful push as they ride by. Don’t be embarrassed by their help. They probably got towed up climbs when they were starting, too. A short push often allows you to regain your breathing and climbing rhythm so you can continue on your own.

  • Pick a strong rider to follow.

If you’re really having difficulty keeping the pace, get on the wheel of a good rider and mirror his (or her) technique. Use the same gear, stand when he does, take a drink as soon as he reaches for his bottle, and so on. This teaches you good cycling habits. Plus, emulating his movements takes your mind off your own effort and helps you past the hard spots.
