Which is the best bicycle for fitness?

The best bike for fitness depends on the terrain you enjoy riding on. 

If the terrain is hilly, a geared bike will be helpful as you can control the speed when you are cycling downhill and it will help you ride up slopes with lesser efforts.

If you would like to cycle to shops near your home for fitness, you will need a bicycle with a basket or rear carrier installed to carry your purchase.

If you plan to cycle with younger children for fitness, consider a 20” folding bike so that it will be easier to ride along with them as they cycle on their 12”, 16” or 20” bicycles. 

A folding bicycle is also suitable for someone who is less confident about handling a larger bike. It will also enable you to take a bus or a train part of the way if you can bring one onbroad. That way you can bring it to a park or somewhere safer or with less traffic to ride.

Do you know that a 26" to 29" or 700C bicycle can be mounted on a trainer?  

When the weather is bad for outdoor activities, you can cycle it stationary like a gym bike in the comfort of your home. The trainer is also great for beginners who would like to build up their stamina before they hit the road with seasoned cyclists.

Don’t find excuses to stop cycling for fitness. Look out for cycling buddies to ride with. It will be more difficult to back out if you have made an appointment with your buddies to ride.

Just make sure that you are cycling on the same kind of bicycle your buddies are on when you join them as you do not want to be chasing them on your 20″ folding bike if they are cycling on a 27.5″ MTB.
