take your bike for a spin!

Indoors or out, bicycling is a great way to burn calories while having fun. Here are some tips for a healthy bike ride:

Wear a helmet when biking outdoors.
Adjust your bike for a proper fit. When seats or handlebars are too low, you can strain your knees, back, neck, arms, and wrists.
Check the pedal resistance. Too much resistance strains your quads and knees, while too little can hurt the back and pelvis.
Wear padded shorts and make sure the seat is a good fit to avoid saddle soreness.
Minimize blisters with shoes and socks that fit properly and absorb moisture.
Stay hydrated! Carry and drink water on your ride.
Know local traffic regulations – use special bike paths if they're available. Call out to pedestrians ("on your left") as you come up behind them and pass on the left.
Use motivational music if you're spinning inside – create an MP3 or iPod folder with music that changes speed to create a climb.
Invite your kids or teens to come along for the ride.
