Biking - Pedal Power

Introduction

Even though bicycles have been around for 150 years or so, bikes today bear little resemblance to those our great-grand parents rode. What was once a novelty and mostly seen at a circus or sideshow is a common household item. Almost everyone has ridden a bike sometime in his or her lives and today much of the world relies on the bicycle for primary transportation.

Now days we use the bicycle for recreation as well as transportation. Most communities include bike lanes when designing or replacing roads for cars. And the range of options for bicycles now can push the price into the hundreds of dollars.

Information about choosing the right bicycle, learning about bicycle repair and finding fun routes to bike is available online.

Let's Cover a Few of the Basics

• There is a difference between searching and surfing the Internet. Surfing is going over the surface much like riding the waves. Searching is targeted, looking for a particular subject or subjects.

• Not everything you will want to find is on-line.

• Looking for particular information can take time. When you are ready to search by yourself, set aside an hour so that you can fully enjoy the adventure.

Below are sample links to show you the value of using the Internet to access bike information. Learning about the many ways to find information important to you can be a truly rewarding experience.
