Summary:

Informal discussion about Basics of cycling

‍

Description:

The last couple of years has seen a rise in Cycling being taken up as a hobby and as a means of fitness towards a healthier lifestyle by many of us. Pune was called a city of cycles in the olden days. Cycles were soon replaced by motor vehicles but recently, it is back to being a major cycling hub of Maharashtra.

We have an informal discussion over some basics of cycling which will cover certain FAQs about various topics like types of cycles and choosing the right one for oneself, explanation of basic terminologies involved, preparations required for long tours/ endurance, how to maintain a cycle etc.

Some tips and tricks for pre ride warm ups, post ride cool downs, basic settings of saddle height, safety instructions to be followed on rides, choosing the right apparel, having the correct set of spares on a ride, how fitness apps help to monitor your rides etc.

A demonstration of how to dismantle wheels for changing tire tubes and cleaning the bike will be shown.

We ensure that this discussion will not be boring! It will be an informal one over a cup of tea and snacks and we are sure most of the queries however trivial they seem will be covered. This will help each one improve their individual performances and identify the shortcomings in cycling as beginners. These are collective queries, which at some point or other most of us have and one will have answers to most of them at the end of the session.

We will be a group of 30 people max. So please confirm your seats at the earliest!

Let’s pedal to happiness everyone!!
