There\u2019s a first time for everything. If you\u2019ve never ridden a race bike or gravel bike, it\u2019s a good idea to prepare for that beforehand. You won\u2019t be the first to fall, step on a bike that\u2019s too big or too small, or forget other handy things. If you\u2019re starting out with cycling, here are a few tips to help you get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good bike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This sounds like an open door, but if you\u2019re going cycling for the first time, make sure you have the right bike. A racing bike should be the right size. Especially not too big, but also not too small. What you don\u2019t want is to immediately start experiencing pain in your shoulders or knees because you don\u2019t have the right bike. It\u2019s important that the bike is comfortable, that you can sit on it well, so that you can concentrate on driving itself. Pay special attention to the saddle height and the distance from the handlebars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
