Bicycle Definition – The good one

Last Updated on June 23, 2022 by FAB Jim The Cyclist

FAB Definition of Bicycle – a glorious two-wheeled, pedal-propelled steed of love.  Also called a bike, it has handlebars for steering, a saddle for your butt, and pedals for pedaling.  Not only is it a great green form of transportation, but it is also a great source of exercise and can be a social tool for hanging out with cool people.  It is perhaps the world’s greatest invention.  For many children it’s their first grab at freedom to travel.  Going for a bike ride is a great chance to step away from problems and clear your mind.  The activity or sport of riding a bike is called cycling.

  1. When it comes to bikes at my age and experience level, the simpler and lighter would be the best bike I could find. In sweltering South Florida summer, I could also use one with a built in fan.

    Here’s another relevant question. What biking time schedule would you recommend to bike per week to burn off a lb. or two of calories?

      1. Thanks so much for the weight loss ideas. As you say. seeing progress is not easily obtained. How about swimming and biking?
