Biking
is a fun way to get outdoors, get some exercise, and get around town,
if you do it safely. Part of doing it safely is choosing the right bike
for the terrain you'll ride on, making sure you have the right gear for
your ride, and learning some of the basic rules and lingo required for a
safe ride. This graphic from Greatist will get you up to speed on all of it.
Aside
from outlining some good reasons to get out and ride, the graphic does a
great job of breaking down the general types and styles of bicycle
available and what type of ride they're best suited for. If you're
planning on riding on trails and unpaved paths, for example, it's
probably not a good idea to grab a fixed gear or a road bike. Even if
you are riding on the road all the time, you may consider avoiding
drop-bar handlebars on your road bike, especially if you're a beginning
rider.
The
graphic goes on to outline some of the basic gear you'll need, like a
helmet, a good lock, reflectors or lights, and how much you should
expect to spend on your ride. There are some basic road safety tips in
there too that are important to review (and to review the laws in your
state or city), along with a little lingo to learn if you're really
planning on getting into biking as a pastime. Scroll down to check out
