A bicycle is a very versatile means of transport. You can ride a trekking bike to work, maybe even an e-bike, and quickly do some shopping on the way home. The large Ortlieb panniers make it possible, and afterwards you can take a mountain bike for a spin through the forest. On Saturday, a leisurely family outing with the children, who have just discovered cycling. To round off the weekend, a nice ride with friends on the road bike over the hills in the surrounding area. That's how we imagine an ideal week!
Bike vs. car: Which gets you to work in a more relaxed and healthy way?
In our cities, the streets are often congested by large cars, in which usually only one person sits. Unfortunately, it is anything but fast. Those who use their bike to get to work the few kilometers in an environmentally friendly, money-saving and, above all, healthy way are clever. The argument that it is often uphill or downhill no longer applies! With the e-bike, even untrained riders can overcome any obstacle. In addition, there is the option of even financing the e-bike with 0% or leasing it through your employer with tax advantages. After just a short time, you will notice how cycling changes your body and, above all, your mind. The human body is made for movement! You will be amazed at how many drivers you pass who are annoyed in traffic jams.
The trails await: rediscover nature by mountain bike
Grab your hardtail or fully mountain bike and discover new things in your area. The most beautiful trails are just waiting to be discovered by you. You will quickly realize how much there still is to "experience"! But it doesn't always have to be a mountain bike. You can also take a relaxed "cruise" through the fields and hilly landscape on a trekking bike or fitness bike. Best of all, as a couple.
On 23 mm above the asphalt: the road bike
If you want to take a more sporty approach and cover long distances, you should look for a suitable road bike here. Whether aluminum or carbon, they are all fast and light. There is hardly a more beautiful feeling than gliding over the asphalt at over 50 km/h, accompanied only by the rattling of the freewheel and the wind blowing around your helmet. With the right GPS devices and heart rate monitors, the whole thing is even more fun. This makes it easy to keep a training diary and measure your progress. Incidentally, there are also racing bikes for women whose geometry is specially adapted to the female anatomy.
