🚴‍♂️✨ Ever wondered what wisdom you can glean from 19th-century wit when it comes to biking?

This throwback article dives into how the legendary words of a famous writer still ring true when you’re out on two wheels — reminding riders to respect the ride, appreciate the journey, and maybe even laugh a little along the way. 😄📖

Curious how a 1800s perspective can still speak to your ride today? Stay tuned and keep your wheels turning. 🚲💭

In the early eighties [1880's] Mark Twain learned to ride one of the old high-wheel bicycles of that period. He wrote an account of his experience, but did not offer it for publication. The form of bicycle he rode long ago became antiquated, but in the humor of his pleasantry…

🎊Happy Birthday to Comedic Legend Mark Twain.

🚴Most of us know him for his many books, but did you know he wrote a series of short stories based on his life? They included "Taming the Bicycle" 🚴where this quote came from. Read it on our home page at https://avidcyclist.com

🚴‍♂️❄️ Time to get your ride winter-ready! ❄️🚴‍♀️

Winter roads bring salt, grit, and cold — and that can take a serious toll on your bike if you’re not careful. This handy guide breaks down simple steps to keep your bike rolling smoothly all season long:

Store your bike indoors if possible — even a shed helps cut down on rust and corrosion.

Pump up your tires regularly (about once a month) to avoid flats and rim damage from under-inflation.

Give your bike a quick wipe-down after rides, especially after riding on salty or gritty roads. Clean the frame, check rims or brakes, and don’t forget to clean and l**e the chain (then wipe off the excess!).

Don’t let winter slow you down — keep pedaling, keep your bike clean, and ride safe.

🚴‍♂️

Keeping your bike in good condition all year round. Keep your bike indoors The number one thing you can do for your bike is keep it indoors. Not everyone will be able to do this but if you can – even in a shed – it will prevent rusting and aluminum…
