I'm sure that we are all looking for speed workout for cyclist for the same reason. We all are too slow when we race. I always felt pretty bad lagging behind the rest of the pack in every race I was in. I started to workout hard trying every workout I could get my hands on. Finally, I found one that really worked. Eventually, I started placing higher. But I still could not win. I don't know what was worse, being last and knowing I couldn't win or coming in the top 10 and not being able to get that extra boost of speed no matter what. I bet you can understand exactly how I felt. That is until I found workouts that actually helped me. One workout for cyclist I found that really helped me to increase my speed is interval training. I bet some of you have heard of this style of training, but some of you have not. For the latter group let me explain. Intervals are periods on intense work followed by a little longer period of rest. These are repeated for a certain number of ...

Even cyclists don't always do their exercise outdoors. Cycling may not always mean going to places with their bikes as the weather may not permit it at all times. But that doesn't end a cyclists hope to go on with his training even when Mother Nature wouldn't allow him to. Exercise bike stands have made indoor cycling possible. And the best thing about it is that you can use the same bike for both outdoor cycling and indoor cycling. This is the alternative to more expensive stationary bikes.

Bicycles are one of the most efficient forms of transportation and energy use. With proper use, they can offer a much better alternative to walking, and sometimes also to driving a car. However, when the bicycles enter the road, they cause trouble. Cyclists have no protection, thus making them very vulnerable, even to tiny touches by cars. During the road test, some students make mistakes that make them fail the test. Some mistakes repeat much more often than others. Bicycle lanes, even without bicycles, cause very much trouble to driving students. Some of them drive in the bicycle lane, others just don't notice it. When they turn right, they don't check for cyclists on that special lane. Even if the lane is empty, the examiner might write a minor error, and many minor errors accumulate to one major failure. Not checking nearby lanes when turning can bring a much bigger issue: hitting a cyclist. When turning right and crossing a bicycle lane, there is a good chance that a c...

Both cyclists and pedestrians can be responsible for a collision on the road. An irresponsible cyclist may fail to follow the rules of the road, or a pedestrian may not take care when they cross the street. Unlike car accidents, where the car itself provides a level of protection, pedestrians and cyclist's bodies are exposed. It is almost certain that injuries will be sustained if a collision occurs between a cyclist or pedestrian and a motor vehicle. There are several different ways a cyclist can be negligent and cause an accident. The chances for collision are exponentially increased in large cities. Walking in cities is dangerous enough without even considering the negligence of a cyclist. The most common error cyclists make is the failure to follow all the rules of the road. Sometimes bikers believe the rules do not apply to them. However, failure to adhere to the laws can have deadly consequences. Running stop lights and stop signs or riding under the influence will increase...
