There is a first time for everything. If you've never stepped on a road or gravel bike before, it's useful to prepare for it. You won't be the first to fall over, get on a bike that is too big, or too small, or forget other handy things. If you are going to start cycling, here are a few tips to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This sounds like an open door but when you first start cycling, make sure you have a suitable bike. A road bike should be the right size. Certainly not too big, but preferably not too small either. Because what you don't want is for your shoulders or knees to hurt straight away because you don't have the right bike. It is important that the bike is comfortable, that you can sit well on it, so that you can concentrate on riding. Pay particular attention to the height of the saddle and the distance to the handlebars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
