subject: Time To Get A New Cannondale Bike? [print this page] Thinking Of Getting A New Cannondale Bike?
Cannondale has a bike to suit everyone, ranging from excellent mountain bikes, like the Cannondale Bad Boy, to super sleek and fast road bikes like the Cannondale Caad. They even have bicycles built for two with the Cannondale tandem - both mountain bike and road bike versions.
Cannondale are the market leaders when it comes to bike manufacturing and their reputation for superb build quality and total reliability means these are bikes you can trust and rely upon when you need it most - halfway up a mountain or on a long road trip miles from home. You can feel the quality as soon as you sit on any Cannondale bike and they have one of the most comfortable rides imaginable.
Their mountain bikes, like the Cannondale Judge, are not only tough and give the rider the assurance they are looking for in wet and muddy conditions, but they sure do look cool ;-) Strong alloy and carbon frames provide strength, but are still some of the lightest frames available today. Very important when you start to go uphill. Whether you choose a hard tail, front suspension or full suspension, you will get one of the smoothest and safest rides you can buy.
And when you are out on the roads, eating up the tarmac on something like a Cannondale Six, you need a well balanced road bike underneath you that is both light, strong and reliable. A Cannondale road bike will not let you down.
Using any bike, not just a Cannondale bike, means you are doing your bit for the environment and you will get fit and lose a few pounds (Something we all could probably do with!) Riding a bike is fun and exciting, whilst being one of the best forms of exercise available, with very little impact on your body. There's nothing more rewarding and fun that reaching the top of a hill and then zooming down the other side with the wind in your face. This is what puts riding a bike above other exercise activites such as jogging, which is, let's face it, boring!
You will never get bored of riding your bike, because there are so many different places to go. Cycle to work. Ride in the hills. Bike around the park. And the best part is you can do it with all the family. How many other activities do you know where everyone can join in, from 7 to 70? And if you don't get bored, you won't give up. The same can't be said for going to the gym can it? How long did that last? Or that treadmill you have in the den? Great for a week or so, but then you got bored right? That doesn't happen with biking. Getting out in the fresh air with all the family, or hitting the trails and jumps with your buddies, you'll never get bored on a Cannondale bike.
And if you think you're too old or long in the tooth, you never forget how to ride a bike. Within seconds of getting started, you'll be whooping with delight and wondering why you never done this a lot earlier. Take it easy to start with and always make sure you wear a safety helmet. Set a good example for your kids and make sure you always have a safety helmet on when you ride, especially on the roads. There are lots of cool colors and styles available today, so there is no excuse not to wear one, and it could save your life one day.
Don't expect to do the IronMan race straight away. Take it easy and start off getting used to the bike. Start cycling to work using cycle paths where you can. Keep alert and keep safe. You'll discover parts of your neighborhood you never knew existed. Your co-workers may tease you to start with (Unless you have a Cannondale full suspension mountain bike that is, and then everyone will want to have ago on it at lunch time), but they secretly respect what you're doing, and when they see the pounds drop off, you'll see one or two more guys from the office arriving on two wheels. So get yourself a Cannondale bike today, and keep fit the fun way with all your friends and family.
