Enjoy the Beautiful Terrain While Biking

If you like to go out biking in New Hampshire, you’re not that far from Canada, which can be a great place for a bike trip. The terrain is beautiful, and there are plenty of berries and edibles that you can forage for and pick along the way. Some people like to bike for an hour or two, but others like to go for long rides for hours or even days. You can camp and bike your way through almost anywhere, but you have to pay attention to your surroundings in order to help keep yourself safe, healthy, and happy.

There are many trails with common and well-marked starting points, so they are good to ride on. They often have canteens and supply shacks. One of the best ways to find those places, especially if you’re not familiar with the area, is to use Canada 411 to locate the kinds of things you want. The supply stops are things you need to know, too, if you’re going to be biking for a long time or you’re going to be out there by yourself. It’s generally safer to bike with someone else, but there are still plenty of people who ride alone.

If you like to fish, there are compact poles you can get that will fit right into your backpack. You should also take a change of clothing, extra socks, and bottled water. Make sure you take some snacks with you, even if you’re not going to be gone that long. It’s always important to have a little bit of food with you, while you’re cruising along the trails and enjoying the scenery. If you happen to get a little lost or get a flat tire, you’ll want to have some extras so you don’t get overly hungry or dehydrated while you’re making your way back to a base camp or supply stop.

Biking in New Hampshire can offer you not only exercise but a lot of beauty, too. The changing colors of the leaves in the fall and the beautiful, lush greenery of spring and summer can really capture your attention. A lot of people like to stop along the way and just admire the beauty. Some also take pictures, and even if you’re not a professional, you can get some great shots that you’ll treasure and share with friends and family members for years to come. That’s especially true if they live in other parts of the country or the world, because you’ll want to share your life with them.

Sometimes, though, the weather in New Hampshire doesn’t let you go biking. That’s true in much of the wintertime, for example. It’s just too cold and there’s often too much snow. If you’re stuck inside, there are all kinds of things you could do, like surf the Internet for biking information, play online casino games, clean your home, spend time with family and friends, and anything else that piques your interest. You might wish you could be outside, but it won’t be that long before the weather lets you go biking again.

The more you find to do over the winter, the lower the chances that you’ll get bored. That’s a good thing, because it’ll make the time go faster. Before you know it, you’ll have accomplished a lot over the cold, winter months and you’ll be ready to get back out there and start biking again when the weather warms up. You can explore trails and see how the winter has changed them, and you can take family and friends along for the ride by taking pictures and video you can share with them.

Shopping for a New Ride, New Hampshire Style

For members of the Bicycle Coalition of New Hampshire, and amateurs alike, there are numerous shops in the state of New Hampshire that will have just the ride for you! Although bicycle safety should be your first concern, cycling with a stylish low rider, or a fancy old fashioned set of wheels can be fun, too. Before you can go bicycling with your friends this year, make sure you have consulted the blogs on what’s new in 2010, because the new styles are worth noticing.

From the best store in Ashland, Riverside Cycles, to the premier shop in Portsmouth, Papa Wheelies, and all of the shops in-between, you can find any style, color, or budget point that you want. Bicycle Bob’s in Portsmouth is a family favorite, and the store decor is worth a mention, but if you want to save cash, then a quick drive out to the Bike Barn in Manchester is the best way to get what you want. Manchester is also the city where the Alternative Bike Shop is located, so if you enjoy those old fashioned bikes with banana seats and baskets, or low-riding with your tushy an inch from the gravel, then this is a must-see bike boutique.

Hampstead is well-known amongst sports riders for its great shop, Ted Wojick Bicycles. Another fun shop is Dover’s own bicycling shop, Tony’s Cyclery. Find the bike you want in New Hampshire, and then check out the whirlwind tour through the Granite State that starts in Lincoln, America By Bike. You will see parts of your state that you never knew existed, and have the chance to capture it all on camera between stops. Biking is a great hobby, undeniably, and it can also provide you with the opportunity to do some meaningful volunteer work. Take a youth with you on the America By Bike tour as a mentor, and you will be able to share a once-in-a-lifetime experience with someone who truly needs it!
