Recreational riding is a broad category that includes mountain biking, BMX riding, road riding and racing, bicycle touring, cross-biking, and others. In fact, even within these categories are sub-categories of ultra-specific bicycle recreation.
Several recreational riding forms are highly specialized, and attract individuals interested in structured training, competitions, and even technical instruction. They may also inspire you to pursue specialized gear to enhance your experience.
Recreational riding is a great source of fun, physical activity, personal development and even community if you wish to ride with a group, club, or in a competitive setting.
