What started eleven years ago to help more people stay active, the “30 Days of Biking” campaign has grown in popularity. Now, as the drive moves forward with its heart-healthy values, it’s the right of passage to warmer weather riding ahead. Giving those who participate the right to brag or at least the stamina to stem-off most illnesses. As April leaves much to be desired most years. Enjoy fond memories with the current forecast predicting above-normal temps the first week in April.
First, you sign up for 30 Days of Biking with your own set of rules on how far and where you want to ride each day. It might be as little as a spin around the block, a few laps around the underground parking garage or spinning at the gym, all depending on the weather. Then as May approaches, you will not only have bragging rights, you will feel a lot better and be at your peak, ready for the summer bike season.
The only rule is to dress to meet your own body’s comfort level no matter if it’s in April or any other time of the year.
Cycling can improve your health, keeping you on top of your game.
Did you know that just 20 minutes of cycling in a day can cut in half your risk of dying from a heart-related disease? According to a recent study conducted by Purdue University in Indiana, you will also feel better and may help improve your muscle for walking, general balance, and climbing stairs. The study concluded that regular cycling could cut your risk of heart disease by a whopping 50 percent. Let’s see now, besides bragging rights, if I turn my bikes crank each day in April; I will feel better – where do I sign up?
Signing up and pledging to ride 30 Days in April biking, it’s free!
The 30-day campaign is a pledge to ride your bike every day in April, any distance, any destination and share your adventures online at #30daysofbiking. Tell your friends, sign up and ride together and make sure your bike is ready to roll.
Join 30 Days of Biking through April, wearing this tee-shirt, and feeling good about yourself.
30 Days of Biking is a springtime tradition founded in 2010 by two avid cyclists in Minneapolis. Last year over 10,000 bicyclists from St. Paul, to San Diego, to Düsseldorf, Germany, join this “community of joyful cyclists.” Will you join them?
Very simply, it’s a pledge to ride your bike every day in April, no matter, what the weather or if it is one or thirty-miles each day, and trainer bike miles count too!
Join 30 Days of Biking, April 1 through 30 and be a winner with better health and more friends.
Sometimes you have to bike in the rain as spring arrives, so make it fun!
Depending on the weather, you sign up and set your own rules as to how far you ride. It might be as little as a spin around the block.
Staying dry is the most important and difficult part of riding. The best way to keep dry is to wear waterproof clothing. While most synthetic fabrics still insulate when wet, being wet diminishes their ability to keep you warm. Therefore, a waterproof jacket and pants are a great way to start, but waterproof socks and gloves make the outfit complete. While a lot of materials are naturally waterproof, once perforated with stitching, zipped closed with generic zippers, and left to be loose at all the cuffs, their waterproofing goes out the window. Before you go out and buy anything labeled “waterproof,” read on to understand that all waterproofing is not the same.
