Any excersises before you begin cycling ?

[SteveLancsUk]

Hi all, new to forums, I am currently pottering about on a early 90s raleigh pioneer hybrid that is too small so I am looking into buying a better bike this year. I was wondering if there is any excersises / stretches I can do to prep me for the new bike where I hope to start building the miles. Currently I can only do a few local trips due to the bike being ready for the scrap yard, so of course i cannot get the road time I would like. Anything that I can do at home withought silly gym fees and withough weights would be great

many thanx in advance

nothing needed really - it won't be any benefit anyway. Just keep riding the old bike until you get the new one - the best prep for cycling is.......cycling...

The walk to the garage does me

You shouldn't strech cold muscles

Thanx for the replies, i'll keep dragging the wreck round the local area at least everytime I look at it I will have the motivation to save up quicker for the new one (not quite the same as more motivation to ride further buy 1 step at a time lol)
