2. Do you think you are ready to cycle?
A person who is very fond of cycling and gets excited at the very prospect of
something so adventurous needs to keep in mind that there are some
preparations which need to be done before one can consider before one can
actually get, set and go. These preparations involve a lot of things and many
different aspects of cycling. If one is going to rent a cycle under the London
cycle hire scheme, then half the preparations have already been done for them
because the agencies ensure that the cyclists are well equipped to make use of
the cycles. However, knowing about these things is always advisable in case
some decision has to be made by the person.
The first thing or the first decision to be made is deciding which type of cycle
would be ideal for your purpose. Even if one opts for the cycles under the
London cycle hire scheme, one has the option of choosing the bike that they
like. All kinds of bikes are available at the docking stations including the regular
Boris bikes. The different types of bikes available in the market are folding bikes,
which make it possible to make use of space when one is in the tube or when
one has to park and mountain bikes which are robust and heavy. Then there are
racing bikes which are preferred by those who are fond of cycling at high speeds.
These cycles are fast and thin. Other types of bikes include hybrid bikes and
retro bikes which are also used by many cyclists. Mostly the kinds of bikes which
are available under the London cycle hire scheme are either regular bikes or
folding bikes or mountain bikes. Since the others are specialty bikes they need to
3. The cost of purchasing a new bike also needs to be considered before you
gear up to become a cyclist. The average cost of a cycle ranges between
100 and 1100 pounds; you need to be sure of your budget before you go
ahead with something like this. A good sturdy bike will cost no less than 200
pounds and you should be prepared for this. Second hand bikes are good
options but then instead of going in for a second hand bike one can take up
membership of the London cycle hire scheme. That would prove to be
more effective and useful.
Clothing and comfort should come next in your list of preparations. You
should wear bright clothes when you are cycling and if possible wear
something with reflective strips especially when it starts getting dark outside.
This is to ensure your own safety on the road and reduce the risk of road
accidents which happen because one driver did not see the other and result
in a collision which can even be life threatening. Wearing a helmet is a must
and should not be avoided at any cost if one values one’s life. Those who
take bikes on rent under the London cycle hire scheme are provided a
manual which contains such directives for cyclists.
