What is Cycling?
Cycling is transport, sport and exploration in one. Road, gravel, mountain or city riding all start the same way: a bike that fits and a route you enjoy.
🚀 How to start
- Get your current bike serviced and adjusted — saddle height matters most
- Plan a 15–25 km loop on quiet roads or bike paths
- Increase distance by no more than 10–20% per week and learn to fix a flat tyre
