The Basics of Biking to Work


I have been trekking to work for around 3 weeks as of now and that I referred to certain tips and guides first of all and obviously, biker vloggers on Youtube are the go-to stage. I watched a couple of bicycle recordings beginning from picking the best collapsing bicycle to support and bicycle embellishments and apparatuses to utilize when voyaging. It was agreeable minding the DIYs and the substitute things to use for the bicycle. It is somewhat of a spending variant that can be relatable first off like me. I do trust however that I can discover bicycle overflow shops here in Iloilo City. 

I have likewise kept an eye on the approaches to plan for a long ride, regardless of whether that is as yet far away from my psyche. I actually expected to purchase my pinion wheels the rundown dependent on the aide video. The most recent arrangement is to purchase a transporter rack for the back and I am at present searching for it on Shopee and Lazada. I assessed it to show up on the second seven-day stretch of the month and with perfect timing for my compensation.

Quoting from the website Active.com, here are 13 tips to help you get rolling in your bike-to-work plan. 

  • Begin with an achievable distance.
  • Start with an achievable frequency.

  • Wear clothing that can easily be seen by motorists.

Anyhow, I decided to do a two-part unboxing video for this set booster box and just recorded the first part last night. Here is the video below I've posted on my Youtube channel .
