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.

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.

Sad to say the end might be near for my 1977 Ross Professional Ten Speed.

The Forks are possibly bend inwards as I can not get the front tire on anymore. I’ve been trying to bend them outward but they are solid steel.

I took it to a bike shop but they said bending them out could make things worse.

I biked exactly 300 miles last month on a Schwinn hybrid with only about 6 working gears. I often had to start before sunrise.

Since these are suburban / bike trail miles I prefer the slower less efficient hybrid for exercise and safety.
