How Cycling is Helping Veterans – Wounded Warriors Bike Ride

How Cycling is Helping Veterans Find Peace at Home

Wounded Warriors Start Annual Bike Ride With First Leg Through Miami

The 2020 event kicked off Thursday and will take Wounded Warriors to dozens of other cities – a ride meant to be therapeutic both physically and emotionally…

Dozens of veterans took off from Miami Beach and ended at Marlins Park, where they were treated to lunch. One thing that was evident after the nine-mile ride as the veterans arrived is the event is a big deal for them.

Zen Your Commute: 6 Tips to Start Bicycling and Enjoy the Ride

Every weekday morning, I set off from my back gate on my bicycle, pushing away from the safe shore of home and entering the unpredictable current of urban life. Every morning, I look forward to the adventure.

Over the course of the ride to work, I watch the city wake up. I feel the particular nuances of the day’s weather—perhaps humid, with a storm building over the mountains, or maybe a faintly warm breeze crosscuts the morning chill, carrying a hint of spring…

How to Choose the Right Bike for You

Bicycle Types: How to Pick the Best Bike for You

So Many Choices…

If you are buying a bike to ride with a group of friends, buy something similar to what they ride. You will not be able to keep up with road bikes if you are on a mountain bike or cruiser. And a road bike cannot go on the dirt or the sand.

If you enjoyed a three speed as a child, you may find this a fun bike again. If you disliked the road bike you bought a few years ago, perhaps a mountain bike would be better…

For those who haven’t yet tapped into cycling’s benefits, the list is long: It burns calories at a steady clip, helps reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease, improves your memory and brain power, and makes for deeper and more recharging sleep. It’s gentle on the joints—and maybe most important of all, riding is fun…

Bike Rentals for the Whole Family

How to Bike Ride as a Family

Bike riding together as a family is a great way to bond outdoors and makes exercise fun for all. Learning how to get your kids off on the right foot, or pedal, is time and energy well spent.

When starting out, keep the end in mind. In this case, your goal is a child who says something like, “This is fun!” The goal is not distance, speed, endurance or perfect technique. The goal is just fun, even if it means frequent stops and snacks, so that they’re eager to participate the next time around…
