Good Morning Riders and non Riders!
A typical bike rider coffee
How is everybody doing lately?
Have you kept riding your bike?
Yes, the chill has by now embraced
all of the Australia and New Zealand locations (has it ever left New
Zealand or Tasmania at all?) and as we wake up in the morning a good coffee or a nice hot tea or what ever is tasty and hot makes up a great difference in our days. What is your favorite drink in the morning, tea, coffee or ...????
Yes, the cold weather is here but this does not stop us, nor you from riding, does it? Definitely does not stop those who believe riding is a serious alternative to the daily commuting or ride to and from work as well as to grocery shopping ride. Here for example, we have someone who in Italy in December, is happy to check all the clothing and shoe boutiques riding her bike :)
Riding and shopping throughout winter is not utopia and it is not impossible
When it comes the cold weather, a lot of riders also give up on their beautiful morning rides. Let me tell you something, Roberto and I (I am Mario) took our bicycles this last week end in Brisbane. We got out on a very chilli and windy SAT morning at around 6:30am: it was dark, it was windy and it was cold. However, given the fact that we both ride mid-high range Lombardo bikes and that we service these every 8 weeks, we started very slowly yet comfortably equipped and dressed, to discover that a morning ride during chilli weather is absolutely fantastic! It makes you feel alive, it makes you feel stronger, it makes you feel sensational! So don't give up on your ride only because of the chill, after all, the exercise will keep your cardio-vascular system healthy while the cold will allow you to burn more calories, hence, you trim down and look to your best!
Morning rides, particularly in winter, are some of the most fulfilling experiences you can enjoy both mentally and physically
Speaking about exercise, a lot of us from now until the end of the year will be involved in many Charity Rides or in plenty of group rides. Now, leaving aside that having to suspend your solo ride is a deep pain in the neck since you are stuck and on your own, imagine if you have troubles with your bicycles and are in a group or charity ride, chances are that YOU are going to stop to have fun yourself but most important, YOU will most likely force someone else to stop there with you and forget about their own beautiful ride only to be a good samaritan and get you out of troubles. Now, this can be costly if the guy asks for a 600 beer carton or a nice lobster dinner at that highly expensive sea food restaurant in return for assisting you.
The adequate PRE-RIDE bicycle check list before any charity/mid to long range ride
Hence, we believe that servicing your bicycle is fundamental. Every 8 to 12 weeks depending on how long you ride you should be able to service your bike. However, a good PRE-RIDE CHECK can actually save you money and can save you many headaches too, so taking notes of the check list above can only help you enjoying your own time on a bike! We believe your good time is very valuable, so you should not leave it to chance with a cheap bike nor a cheap service.
