CyclePig

Why do people ride bicycles? For some it’s their job, for some it’s the exercise, for some it’s for sport and there are numerous other reasons I’m sure. For me, it’s the feeling of freedom and escape. I feel much closer to the world when I am on my bike and I don’t think there is a better way to explore it than on two wheels.

Whatever your reason for cycling or being interested in cycling, welcome to CyclePig.

I was fortunate enough to have some close friends guide me, although they may say drag, through my early days of cycling and cycle touring. I have also learnt many of my own lessons through trial & error and even sometimes out of necessity. I plan to share what I have learned, providing simple and useful information to help you get the most out of your recreational cycling and cycle touring.

The topics CyclePig will cover include:

• Getting started cycling
• Information and reviews on cycling gear
• Where to go cycling
• Improving your cycling technique
• Bicycle setup and repairs
• How to prepare for a cycle tour
• How to make a cycle tour go smoothly
• Other news and information of interest to cyclists

I am also looking forward to hearing your own tips, information and cycling stories.
