With each new year comes an influx of people to gyms trying to lose weight. While their intentions are good, the majority of people lose interest quickly and stop going. The fact is, running on the treadmill or riding the elliptical machine just aren’t very exciting aerobic exercises for most, so making a habit out of them is difficult.

It’s perfectly natural to want to instill interests of ours in our kids. When we spend our lives loving something, whether it be a sport, an instrument, or some other hobby, we want to share that with people that we love.

Winter is coming. Many cyclists will put their cycling on hold and hibernate for the winter (or whatever it is non-cyclists do). All jokes aside, winter cycling brings with it a new set of challenges and often requires a higher level of motivation and commitment. Along with the obvious changes in clothing and physical gear to protect your body, your bike will require some extra care and attention to both prepare it before your rides and maintain it after you’re done riding.

You can’t imagine a future without your bike—your most trusted companion that never lets you down, right? Well, it’s a good thing you didn’t live 200 years ago, because then, bicycles were merely an idea. However, if you lived 199 years ago, you would’ve been in luck! Well, kind of. Choose Thomson Bike Products for your bike’s birthday gifts!

Statistics show that 100 million people ride their bike every year in America. However, only 14 million ride their bike at least twice a week. If you are in that 14% margin, you are most likely healthier, happier, and have more street cred.
