Here in Belgium, there has been a big increase in the number of people riding bikes. You can put it down to many reasons: better infrastructure, the greater availability of all types of bikes including e-bikes, and I reckon that there is a left over effect from the pandemic.
I have noticed in my own group of friends and colleagues, a lot of people restarting but not knowing how best to go about it, what else they need aside from a bike, what to wear, or how to organise rides.
So I have set out some advice, breaking it into:
- A general guide on what you need;
- Some tips to get you riding again;
- Advice on what to wear for each season;
- A guide to planning a day ride using Ride With GPS.
- A simple guide to eating and drinking on a day ride
- Seven reasons why you should buy a bike GPS
I am happy to take suggestions for other pages or to put links to very good explanations provided by others. Let me know what you want to know.
I also add shorter posts from time to time:
