The Low-Pressure Guide to Getting Fit on Two Wheels
Why Ride for Fitness?
Biking is one of the most approachable ways to get moving. It’s joint-friendly, beginner-friendly, and actually fun. You don’t have to be fast or go far—just ride consistently, and your body will thank you.
First: Take the Pressure Off
- You don’t need to become a “cyclist” to ride for fitness. There’s no minimum speed or maximum miles. If you’ve got a bike and a reason to move, you’re doing it right.
Ride at Your Own Pace
- Literally. Start slow and stay slow if that feels best. Fitness builds over time. Let your body set the pace- it knows what it’s doing.
Forget the Fancy Gear
- You don’t need a bike computer, padded shorts, or carbon rims. You need something reliable, comfortable, and easy to ride. Everything else is extra.
What Kind of Bike Should You Use?
- For fitness riding, look for a lightweight, reliable bike that fits your lifestyle and your terrain. You want something comfortable enough to ride daily, but efficient enough to get your heart rate up. (Our Wythe, Roebling, and Lorimer models are great places to start.)
Make it Your Time
- Whether it’s five miles to get away from it all, ten minutes to shake off the day, or a loop to clear your mind—your ride is yours. It’s movement, it’s momentum, and it matters.
Real Progress Looks Like Consistency
- Forget perfection. The win is showing up. A 15-minute ride twice a week is better than a great plan you never follow.
You’re Allowed to Enjoy It
- Fitness doesn’t have to feel punishing. It can be fun. Peaceful. Even a little joyful. That’s the beauty of riding—you don’t just move your body, you change your day.
