I used to think cycling was just for strengthening, but it’s a full-body workout once you start to do it on a regular basis. My stamina shot up in just a couple of months, and I started noticing that I can climb stairs now without stress unlike before. It's even easier on the knees than running...
Bad roads can really test your patience. I’ve once ridden on streets where there are lots of potholes. To be honest, mountain bikes handle that punishment way better than regular road bikes. Gravel bikes are also good if you want something lighter but still tough. Even fat tires can make a big...
I would say yes, because helmets are very neccesary. No one can predict when an accident will happen. Even experienced riders can't control everything on the road.
I do not shave my legs, though I have seen a lot of people who do. So, in addition to the aerodynamics, they also claim it’s good for massages which I believe too. All in all, it's more of a personal choice than the said performance hack.
I do not believe that they are overhyped. The e-bikes are bringing more people into cycling who wouldn’t otherwise be riders. To me, that counts as a win even though the purist may still feel that conventional bikes should be used.
I have seen fat bikes used on trails that were not snow or sand and they worked well. They do not go as fast on pavements, but comfort and stability are more important than speed.
I am with you on that! Hotels are comfortable, whereas camping makes the adventure more lifelike. There are occasions when you would combine both, based on the length of the ride.
