Biking is an exciting sport that can be
enjoyed by anyone who knows how to ride a bike. Compared to other
sports, bike ride does present some danger. Therefore, you should
master basic biking skills before you hit the road or trails. Start
practicing beginning biking skills at a local park, school, bike path,
or simply around your house. If you can, try to find a location
away from busy road or any kind of traffic to get feel of your wheels.
Once you
practice basic biking techniques and get the hang of them, you'll be
able to hit the road feeling comfortable on your bike. Even though it
may take some getting used to, it'll become second nature before you
know it.
