The world does not stand still, but is constantly moving forward, sports trends are not far behind. Less than a century ago, cycling was closed to women, and it was even indecent for a girl to ride an iron horse with a “male” frame. Now everything has changed. Bicycle paths and bike parks are being built in the cities, along which sports girls pass every now and then, on mountain, road, hybrid bikes with equipment and a frame like that of men. The bicycle is now a fashionable and healthy means of transportation, and girls actively use it.

Bicycle Benefits
The bicycle is unique – it is both a means of transportation, and at the same time, a sports equipment. Moving from point to point, you strengthen the muscles of the lower extremities, reduce fat deposits in the thighs, increase endurance and activate the work of both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems of the body.
The bike is perfect for both beginners to improve health and general condition of the body, and professionals to add variety to the training plan.

Where is the best place to train on a bike?
If the bicycle is used for training, then it is important that the classes take place in clean natural conditions: in a park area or outside the city. With rotational movements of the legs, it is important that the muscles of the legs are involved in the work along the entire trajectory of the pedal, and not just at the highest point – this is the way to achieve the maximum result. Use a new bike for classes, as the old sports equipment can break at any time and cause falls and injuries. Don’t forget to bring basic tools and wrenches and, most importantly, a pump with you to training sessions.

How to choose a bike for a girl
The choice of a bicycle deserves special attention: the frame must be selected in accordance with the height of the owner and depending on the purposes for which the bicycle will be used. An open frame will be good for short distance cycling (with this type of frame you can ride in a dress), and for active training you should opt for bikes with a high frame (like in models for men). These types of bikes are called “unisex”. The position of the steering wheel and saddle is individually adjustable.

How to choose clothes for a girl for cycling
Choose clothes for sports activities carefully: pay attention to focus on safety and convenience. For cycling workouts, tight-fitting cropped trousers (breeches) are suitable. Do not forget about accessories: special glasses are necessary to protect against wind and insects and will protect the lenses (if you wear them) from drying out. Special cycling gloves will allow you to conveniently fix the steering wheel without slipping, protect your hands from rubbing and in case of a possible fall.

If there was a break in classes, then they need to be resumed gradually, step by step. If you have health problems, consult a sports medicine specialist. If you feel unwell or if the weather conditions are bad, it is better not to exercise using a bicycle.

And remember, cycling and exercising improve health and improve mood. Biking is more fun with a partner or in a group.
