#12 Bicycling & Racing

Want to achieve trophies and medals, your bicycle can be you key to many races. In many communities, bicycle races are one of events that held in the year. 

To participate in a race you need to check many aspect of you bicycle and your own body. Bicycle is a human powered device and therefore your body build must be adequate for bicycle race. The first thing you need to pay attention to is your fitness. You will need to beadle a lot to achieve the speed you desire. In order to be fit, you will need to practice using a treadmill and monitor your heart as well. Asking for a professional trainer is mandatory to overlock your abilities.

Once you are fit to race, you will need to tweak your bicycle. First, you need to have either a road or a racing bicycle because they are the lightest. Reducing your bicycle weight is important to maintain a high speed and easy beadle. 

Last advice is to be modest and not to think about racing as competitions but as a chance to enjoy a great hoppy and sport. You will be the winner for believing in that.

#11 Bicycling in the street

One of many features of bicycling is commuting. You can reach many places and exercise in the same time. However that is not the case in some streets. Many motorist are unaware of bicyclist right to use the streets as well as them while some ignore their right and put them in danger. 

There many education programs designed for both bicycles and motors on how to use and share streets in a safe manner. Using your hand to indicate where you want to turn and wearing a helmet is vital. In addition to that, your bicycle must be equipped with light refelectror to show that you are in the street. Keeping the distance of three feet between a bicyclist and a vehicle is one of these roles. Its your responsibility as well as the motorist to bare in mind that and not ignore it.

For those who are afraid of using their bicycles in street there are other option available. Some street has either a lane for bicyclist to use. That will reduce the risk of sharing street with a car. 

In the end if you couldn't use your bicycle in the street, the best way is to use the side walk.
