================== ARTICLE START ==================

There are many different types of bicycles available on the

market today, the comfort bicycle, which is used by many

recreational bike riders, a trail bike or light duty mountain

bike, crusier bikes, recumbent bikes and heavy duty mountain

bikes. No matter which type of bike, or biking interests you

biking is a great way to increased stamina, improved

cardiovascular strength and all around better fitness.

Recumbent bikes have become very popular for the middle aged

and older riders. On a recumbent bike you have a very

comfortable seat that you can lean back in, quite like sitting

in your favorite reclining chair. Your butt is very comfortably

cushioned. Your feet are out in front of you, quite like when

you're driving your car. Recumbent bikes are the fastest type

of bicycle. One reason is that with your legs extended forward

and pedaling in front of you, you are able to move much more

weight with much less effort than on a conventional bike where

your legs are underneath of you. Beginning recumbent riders

will tell you it takes a while to develop what are called

" recumbent muscles " but once you do you'll never go back to an

ordinary bicycle.

Mountain biking is a popular activity that is enjoyed by a wide

age range of people. Heavy duty mountain bikes can be quite

costly, so it may be best to go to talk to a mountain biking

organization about bike rental. You may only decide you need a

light duty mountain bike which would also be good for regular

riding. Not all mountain biking trails are killers and for

experts only - they had to start somewhere too! Mountain biking

trails are rated somewhat like ski trails, the easiest is green,

an intermediate is blue and difficult trails are pink. Go

slowly, mountain biking can be hard on the joints, and you'll

need to learn how to handle the bike to minimize chance of

injury.

Whichever type of bicycle you choose, just do it! Biking is a

great way to achieve an aerobic work out and burn calories at

the same time. The best part is that anyone can ride a bike and

it's a great family recreation to be enjoyed together.
