Serious about cycling? Here are a few tips to get you moving ...

Find a good commuter bike. If you're in the market for a new bike and are serious about cycling to work you might want to look at the emerging category of commuter bikes. With these, the rider sits in an upright position and the bikes have chain guards, fenders, rear luggage racks and lights for the evening commute.

Be prepared for breakdown. Check your bike often, especially brakes and tires. Carry a small tool kit with a set of Allen wrenches, a tire patch kit and a tire pump just in case you break down.

Get the accessories.  If you are looking to really feel the burn, here are a few items you may need: a helmet, sunglasses or bike glasses, a rearview mirror on your bike or helmet, padded bike shorts, cycling shoes and reflective arm and leg bands.
