Learn More »How It Works Biking is a top-notch cardio workout. You’ll burn about 400 calories an hour. Plus it strengthens your lower body, including your legs, hips, and glutes. If you want a workout that’s gentle on your back, hips, knees, and ankles, this is a great choice. You can cycle on the road, a bike path, or a mountain trail. Indoors, you can do your workout on a stationary bike or buy a stand, called an indoor trainer, for your outdoor bike. If you’re a beginner, choose a flat bike path or road. If you’re ready for a tougher workout that also engages your upper body and core, try mountain biking. It’s also called off-road biking. You can do it on trails and different types of rough terrain. Mountain biking is trickier because you have to navigate hills and surfaces, so your upper body and core will kick into gear. It’s more of a total-body workout than biking on the road, which is mostly a lower-body cardio workout. Plan to get on your bike and ride for 30-60 minutes, 3-5 days a week. Start every ride with a warm-up. Pedal at a slow, easy pace for 5-10 minutes. Then boost your speed so you start to sweat. If you’re riding a stationary bike, simply change the settings for a faster pace. When you’re ready to wrap things up, take an extra 5 minutes to cool down by cycling at a slower pace. Intensity Level: High Cycling gets your heart rate up almost as much as running and burns a lot of calories. It's also gentle on your body. It doesn't put a lot of stress on your joints, which helps if you’re getting into shape or have joint problems. Areas It Targets Core: Yes. Your core will get stronger from biking. Arms: No. This workout doesn't specifically target your arms. Legs: Yes. This is a great workout for your legs, especially your quads and hamstrings. Glutes: Yes. Your glutes and hips will get a serious workout from biking. Back: No. This workout doesn’t specifically target your back. If you want to add an upper body workout, try mountain biking. It will engage your back muscles as you navigate up and down hills.

A bicycle is stolen every 30 seconds in the United States. That's roughly two million bikes a year, totaling about $350 million . To give you some perspective, less than one million motor vehicles are stolen each year in America. Bicycle thefts might be even higher than what's reported.
Register your bike and do it now before you forget! We’ll wait. And while we do, know that according to the 30-second statistic, another bicycle was just stolen in the United States. Registering takes just a few minutes and it can be totally free online. Many cyclists aren’t aware that bicycle registries even exist until it’s too late (AKA their bike was stolen). We recommend taking a look at our bicycle registry spotlights on Bike Index and 529 Garage to choose one that works best for you. All you need to do is find the serial number on your bicycle, and your lock, and enter them into an online database. You can register as many bikes and locks as you wish. If your bicycle is stolen, you can alert the registry. Bike shops and other cyclists will then be on the lookout for your bicycle once you report it as missing. It’ll help you and the authorities to track and recover your stolen property. Keep in mind that while registering your bike is smart, it’s just a piece of the larger puzzle – not a guarantee. Put simply, this is why you need bicycle insurance. If you ride to work, school, or elsewhere, keep in mind that usually your company or university is not responsible for lost or stolen property. Meaning, if your bicycle goes missing from a bike rack at work or school, you’re on the hook for recovering it or replacing it. But if you invest in an affordable bike theft insurance policy, we’ll help you take care of it and get you clipped back in ASAP.
