Cycling for Beginners

cyling02_jpg

If you haven't cycled much before or you're out of the habit of cycling, find yourself a traffic-free area to start off in, such as your local park.

Practice riding single-handed so you can make hand signals, and get comfortable looking over both shoulders to improve your visual awareness.

If you're just getting started, take it slowly and increase your cycle rides gradually. Any improvement on what you currently do is beneficial.
