THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2018
make your biking experience an
ordeal.
According to the National
Bicycle Dealers Associa-
tion, these are the most com-
mon types of vehicles available
today.
• Mountain bikes: Built with
traveling off the beaten path
in mind, a mountain bike will
offer optimum performance on
the trails. You can still use them
on pavement but don’t expect to
achieve high speeds.
• Road bikes: For those
commuting on smooth terrain,
a road bike will offer speed,
comfortability and premium
handling.
• Hybrid bikes: A type of
bike offering a blend of both
mountain and road bikes. They
are meant for general commute
but will perform similarly to
both styles.
• Cruisers: these bicycles are
meant for leisurely rides around
town. Many of them have wider
tires paired with a comfortable
seat.
Health benefits
Now that you know which
bicycle will perform best for
your specific needs, you can
prepare for the awesome health
benefits cycling provides.
Check out some of the advan-
tages you’ll feel when cruising
on two wheels, per the Harvard
Medical School:
• Aerobic workout: Riding a
bike creates a workout for your
heart, brain and blood vessels.
You also will release endor-
phins, which are chemicals
associated with good feelings.
• Build muscle: The down
stroke part of pedaling builds
muscles in the buttocks,
thighs and calves. When on an
upstroke, you will work ham-
strings and flexor muscles in
your hips. Holding yourself
upright and balancing will work
your arms. It’s basically a full-
body workout every time you
go for a ride.
Maintenance tips
In order to keep your bicy-
cle in its peak condition, general
maintenance is required.
Check with our dealer to
find bicycle-specific lubrication
and apply it to the chain, cables,
shifters and brake pivots. Make
sure to wipe the area clean if
