1. Ride Farther/Ride Out of City/ Ride Abroad

If one of your resolutions is to break out from your routine, maybe you always ride around in your area, then you plan to expand your experience. Let’s go out from your common place, and bring your bike with you. It’s quite challenging, but so worth it. From preparation, research, riding, until back to home. You can go farther or out of city. Bring rinko bags if you ride the trains, or bike racks if you ride cars, bike travel case if you ride on plane or anywhere. Then explore the place you’ve never been before.

2. Climbing, Climbing, and Climbing

Improve your climbing. Many riders avoid the uphill roads, because climbing on bike is not only hard physically but also mentally. It needs a lot of practice, fix the position, and improve the technique. Then every time you face the uphill, you are no longer afraid to climb. You become stronger, faster, and more confidence.
