Cycle Your Way to A Safe & Active Summer

Cycling is a favourite summer activity, but your bike should match the type of riding you like to do most. A cruiser bike combines the best features of road bikes and touring bikes, making it suitable for use on roads and city trails. If you’re going off road then a mountain bike is your best option for pedalling through rocks, roots and loose dirt. For crowd-pleasing jumps and tricks you’ll want a solidly built BMX bike. Another great thing about cycling is that you can get the whole family involved. There’s a wide variety of men’s bikes, women’s bikes, unisex bikes, and kid’s bikes available.

Whether tooling around town or day-tripping through the country, you should always have a bicycle pump and tube repair kit on hand. It’s also a good idea to keep a spare bicycle tire, tube and wheel at home for quick changes when necessary. Always wear a proper-fitting bike helmet, and make sure you’ve got a bicycle mirror, bicycle bell, and front and back bicycle lights for riding at night. Once you’ve got your bike kitted out just right, make sure to keep it protected with a good strong bike lock.
