Bike tips for beginners.

[Good Morning Chungcheong Reporter Suji Choi] To enjoy riding, buying a bicycle comes first.
You can enjoy riding as much as you want by using bicycle rental shops throughout the city, but if you want to immerse yourself in the full-fledged riding world, purchasing a bicycle that is one with you is essential.
The first thing a beginner should think about before buying is ‘where to ride a bicycle’.
This is because the type of bike varies depending on the course.
Road, Hybrid, MTB… What is this?
Experts recommend three types of bikes for beginners: road bikes, hybrids, and MTB.
Among them, road bikes are the best if you want to enjoy speed while riding on city roads, MTB if you want to run on mountain roads, and hybrid bikes if you don’t know what to do.
The road bike features a sleek design. The choice of design is also wide. Its strength is that it uses relatively large and thin wheels to show light weight, and it is possible to drive at high speed on paved roads or even road surfaces.
An experienced person can feel the speed of more than 50 km on flat ground. Also, unlike the handlebars of general bicycles, road bikes have a drop bar with the handle pointing toward the floor. This is to minimize air resistance by taking a crouching posture.
MTB is an abbreviation of mountain bike, and it is a bicycle optimized to enjoy effective driving in the mountains. In the case of MTB, unlike ordinary bicycles, because they have to run on bumpy mountain roads, they are equipped with suspensions, which are shock absorbers using springs and air. In addition, it is equipped with a straight handle to give a sense of stability, and the durability of the frame is strong.
A hybrid bike is a model that combines the strengths of a road bike and a MTB so that anyone can enjoy it for everyday use. It features a straight handle, and its strength is that it can be purchased at an affordable price.
When choosing a type, consider the price of the bike.
Bikes range in price from 100,000 won to 100,000 won.
If you want to ride a bicycle occasionally in your daily life, we recommend a product of 100,000 to 300,000 won, if you want to enjoy cycling often for leisure, a product of 500,000 to 600,000 won, and if you want to start cycling in earnest, we recommend a product of 1 million won or more. do.
Of course, the higher the price, the better the performance and the lighter the weight.
“I bought a bike, but what about the equipment?”
The most important thing before enjoying a ride is to equip it.
Of these, a helmet is essential.
When riding a bicycle, both feet are off the ground, so in case of a fall, the greatest impact is applied to the head. Most cyclist deaths are caused by not wearing a helmet.
Gloves are also essential. This is because beginners often unconsciously put their hands on their hands when they fall while riding a bicycle.
On normal roads, safety equipment such as a helmet and gloves is sufficient, but if you want to enjoy mountain driving, you must additionally prepare knee and elbow protectors and goggles. The risk of injury is high on rough mountain roads.
In addition, if you want to enjoy riding a bicycle more, it is better to additionally have a portable air pump and a bicycle puncture patch.
A portable air pump is a device that allows you to easily refill air at home because the risk of accidents increases when bicycle tires run out of air.
A bicycle puncture patch is useful because it can be a disaster if a bicycle tire is punctured while riding.
In addition, if you want to enjoy night driving, the installation of headlights is essential. In addition to the essential equipment, you can choose bike pants or other accessories according to your taste.
