Cycling Information, Topics and Specialties

With all of the different bike types, riding styles, bike accessories and cycling and fitness information available online, it is difficult for one site to cover it all. Although this site is fairly diverse, the following topics have become our specialties:

Bike Sales Online

Bicycles Online - Helpful information on bike types, what bike brands are for sale online and and online bike sale resources. Whether you're into mountain bikes, road, recumbent, BMX or hybrid bikes you need the right bike and you don't want to spend half the riding season looking for it.

Online Bike Stores - If you already know what bike type you are looking for, what brands you prefer and the brands that are available online.

Bike Computers and Bike GPS systems

Bike Computers - A good bike computer is one of the most useful accessories that you can have on your bike. Speedometer, Odometer, Trip Meter, Date and Time, Riding time vs Elapsed time, averages... Many GPS and wireless models are available too!

Bicycle GPS - Do you need a bike GPS receiver integrated with your cycle computer functions or a separate hand held GPS unit with a handlebar mount and cycling GPS maps.

Bike Accessories and Supplies

There are quite a few bicycle accessories and bike supplies that you will need or want to have to make your ride nicer, including:

Exercise Bikes and Cycling Fitness

Exercise Bikes - Get in shape or get ready for bike riding season with Exercise Bikes (Recumbent, Upright, Indoor Cycles, Dual Action Fan Bikes). A good selection of stationary bike reviews, best buys and plenty of helpful information.

Bike Trainers - Bike Trainers (or Exercise Bike Stands, Indoor Cycling Equipment) are economical and great for indoor workouts and staying in shape all year long. See the indoor cycling equipment cost comparisons and recommended online retailers.

Chicago Area Bike Trails

This site also has a very good selection of Illinois (mostly the Chicago area) and Wisconsin bike trail articles, descriptions, photos and videos in the "Bike Trails" section. Enjoy...

Bicycle Touring and Trails The About-Bicycles Bike Trail pages are filled with tons of great bike trail information and photos. Most (but not all) of the trails in this section are trails that are easily accessible from the Northwest Chicagoland area (Illinois and Wisconsin) since this is where I am from. Do You Have a Dream? I have had a dream for a while now of bicycling across the US for quite a while now. I haven't achieved that yet, but I still hope to.

The Ride is the Destination!

For me, there is nothing like a long ride on a beautiful day. I have done a lot of bike miles and have been breaking new personal distance records for many years now. In the process of putting on so many bike miles, I have discovered a lot of information and good resources for bike electronics (GPS and computers), bike supplies (bags, cloths, etc.), bike fitness equipment (exercise bikes and bike trainers) and of course on Chicago area bike trails. I hope that the information and resources on this site will help you find what you are looking for quickly and easily.

When you're riding, you have already reached your destination so go ahead and enjoy it.

Although my personal style of riding is mostly trails and bike paths, a little mountain off-the-road riding, distance riding, pleasure riding and utility riding (just using my bike for quick trips to stores and friends houses, etc), the online resources that I have found are just as valuable for any cycling style or preference.

I have purchased a few bikes and quite a few bike accessories over the years, both online and at local bike shops. It can be difficult and time consuming to find good online resources quickly so I have included references and links to what I have found to be some of the best online resources for bikes and bike accessories.

The site topics below will help you find more helpful information and bike stuff that you may be looking for online fast and easy and will provide you with some useful bicycle reviews, information and tips to make your online trip enjoyable as well.

Remember it's not just good exercise... It's lot of fun too!

Whether you like the exhilaration of going fast, the tranquility of a winding bike path through the woods or, in the case of indoor cycling, being able to read, listen to music or watch TV while you are getting an excellent aerobic workout, cycling or bike riding (which every you prefer) it is also a lot of fun too.

So, in addition to the information and resources on this site, I have tried to keep the style fairly casual (especially on some of the bike trail and bike blog pages). I hope that you enjoy browsing the site and also enjoy your ride!
