Few things bring as much joy and freedom as hopping on a bicycle and riding out into the great outdoors.

However, whether you’re a casual rider, a fitness enthusiast, or a seasoned pro, one thing remains constant: the importance of regular maintenance.

The 14 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride

For years, electric bicycles were bulky, inconvenient, expensive machines with limited battery life. Slowly, that has changed. Ebikes are now lighter, more attractive, and more powerful than ever. You don't need to be physically fit to ride one. They get you outside, reduce traffic congestion, and shrink your carbon footprint. I ride one daily to take my kids to school. They're just fun.

My daughter gave me an adult tricycle last Christmas. Some assembly required, that is to say, all of it. Unfortunately, it’s been so hot here in Texas I haven’t been able to ride.

Shrinking your carbon footprint is hardly a reason to bike.

In Texas you have to ride at sun up in the summer and at noon in the winter

Control your adrenaline rushes. They do not make you king of the road.

I love bicycling with the Deplorable Family. So many places to ride, but please, make sure your kids and you know the rules, ride with the traffic and obey the rules. A bus hit and killed a bicyclist because the bicyclist darted in front of the bus. Of course, he was a bit high on drugs...

Jill Biden says exercise helps her find her “inner strength.” She gets out of bed at 5:45 a.m. most mornings to fit exercise into her schedule.

Pretty much like that in the lower elevations in Arizona depending on location. In fact most of the Southwest is like that.

I really enjoyed the condensed versions of each stage of the Tour that NBC put up on YouTube.

I live in San Antonio...so yeah, it be hot. Fortunately, I am retired, so can ride at any time of day. Mornings are the answer.
