Many would-be cyclists shy away because getting back into shape seem insurmountable. Lifelong wellness, however, is about consistency, not monstrous physical leaps. Think about this: If Our kids in earlier years you rode just eight minutes on your first ride and added a minute a week, one would be cycling for 60 minutes per ride after 52 weeks. Two-hour rides would be the norm after adding another minute per week for a second year - and you would burn about 1,000 calories per ride!
