			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Young people and kids are not the only people that can enjoy hitting the <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000037e0f1" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_racing" title="Bicycle racing" rel="wikipedia">road</a> with their bikes. In fact, bikes and biking <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000007cc03" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail" title="Trail" rel="wikipedia">trails</a> and tours are for all ages. If you are in your senior years, it is time to dust off that bike and get pedaling! You might be surprised to know that there are many biking tours that are specifically geared to those in their golden years.</p>
<p>There are many reasons why seniors may want to consider a bike tour. In the end, though, those reasons just seem to match up with the reasons why anyone would want to take on a <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000000a52e" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle" title="Bicycle" rel="wikipedia">bicycle</a> vacation. Take a look at why seniors may want to think about a vacation of pedaling away with friends and friends to be.</p>
<p>There are many things you can get from a vacation. You may get a chance to experience a new place in the world, a romantic trip to enjoy a quiet place, or even just an excuse to head to the beach. In many cases, though, you will find that such trips end up being just an <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000014eccf" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_exercise" title="Physical exercise" rel="wikipedia">exercise</a> in the repetition of past trips, and while they may be enjoyable, you might still need a change of pace from time to time. That is why seniors are increasingly considering the bike tour as a viable alternative to the old traditional vacation. Instead of ending up tense, you end up relaxed and in an place where you can enjoy the fact that you exercised and met new people on the back of a bike with the wind all around.</p>
<p>The nice thing about bike tours is that you can do them without even having to plan on your own. Senior bike tours are available for nearly any location you would want to explore. With minimal research, you can find a place that will organize and plan your entire bike tour so that you can go with friends to experience it. There are also plenty of trips available that are already planned and require you only to sign up.</p>
<p>Even if you are not the biking pro, or haven’t been on a bike in a while, do not worry. You can still ride your bike and take a tour. It is never too late in life to learn something new and meet more people. Senior bike tours can offer that opportunity even if you just go with one or two other people you know. You can experience the excitement of the trip and enjoyment of learning a new place and meeting new people with little more than a phone call and some light research. It is well worth it to have a great new vacation to take.</p>
<p>Many seniors like to have choices available to them. That is no problem, you simply sign up for a self-guided bike tour. On these, you can take the stress out of the trip by eliminating the agenda. Instead, you get to experience a new place and ride at your own pace without anybody telling you where you need to be and when. Increasingly, seniors are taking advantage of such trip availability. </p>
<p>As you can see, there are many things to look forward to if you are considering taking a senior <a class="zem_slink freebase/guid/9202a8c04000641f800000000000e1d2" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycling" title="Cycling" rel="wikipedia">cycling</a> trip. These trips offer seniors the chance to meet new people and learn about a new place. Bike tours make enjoying the people, culture, food, and overall feel of a location even easier than if you took a bus or car. Additionally, it is a chance to exercise, relieve stress, and put together a vacation that will keep you feeling in tip top shape for many, many years. So if you are a senior that is trying to plan the perfect vacation, take some time and try to plan out your own bike tour. You will be glad you did.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The right fitness trainer is someone who can help you out with the right exercise routine that not only fits your physical needs, but your time constraints, as well. This person can be found by going to your local gym and asking around. In the case of a biking fitness program, contact your local biking club. Make sure that you interview several people from several places before choosing.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re trying to encourage your kids to exercise, make sure you don&#8217;t push them to do too much too fast. Try to build up the amount of exercise they&#8217;re getting. If they&#8217;re used to be couch potatoes, try starting with something easy like biking or swimming, instead of having them run two miles. If they feel it&#8217;s too hard from the get-go, they&#8217;ll dig their feet in and try and fight you.</p>
<p><DIV style='float: left; width: 150px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;'><DIV style='background-color: #FFFFCC; color: #000000;'><small><font color='#FF0000'><b>TIP!</b></font> Slow and steady wins the race, the race to stay fit that is. A recent study showed that those who engaged in moderate physical activity, such as biking and walking, maintained the highest overall activity levels.</small></DIV></DIV></p>
<h3>Biking Fitness Program</h3>
<p>Some people think that lifting heavy weight alone will get them into shape. While lifting weights is a good form of exercise you need to also keep in mind that cardio is another good form of exercise for your body. It can be hard to start out at first but running, biking and swimming are all good methods of getting into shape.</p>
<p>If your workout mode of choice is biking or riding on a stationary bicycle, target a range between 80 and 110 revolutions per minute (RPMs). At this rate, you will find that you are able to ride for longer periods of time and are less likely to experience muscle strain and fatigue.</p>
<p><DIV style='float: right; width: 150px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;'><DIV style='background-color: #FFFFCC; color: #000000;'><small><font color='#FF0000'><b>TIP!</b></font> In order to improve fitness levels when biking, try cycling with just one leg.  The benefit of this is that you are able to focus on the important part of your leg stroke, that being the even distribution of workload among all of your leg muscles.</small></DIV></DIV></p>
<p>In order to get the most out of your mountain biking fitness routine, be sure to shift your weight forward when tackling a hill.  This will cause more of your weight to be distributed to the front tire and give you more traction.  Learn to get a feel for how much you need to distribute, and you&#8217;ll find that you will have much more success climbing.</p>
<p>Perhaps running and walking aren&#8217;t really your thing. Have no fear. Another great fitness alternative is biking. Biking offers a cheap, fun, and fitness oriented solution to your daily commute to work. If your ride to work is only about 5 miles it should take less than thirty minutes to get to work, and in the process, you get a two for one deal on workouts, because you still have to bike home.</p>
<p>If you are looking to increase your stamina in your workouts, make sure to include aerobic exercises. In addition to burning calories, aerobic exercises such as jogging, dancing and biking help improve your lung and heart function, making your whole cardiovascular system more effective at bringing oxygen to your muscles.</p>
<p><DIV style='float: left; width: 150px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;'><DIV style='background-color: #FFFFCC; color: #000000;'><small><font color='#FF0000'><b>TIP!</b></font> Biking to work is a great way to improve your fitness.  Check local maps to find safe bike routes in your community.</small></DIV></DIV></p>

<p>Biking to work is a great way to improve your fitness.  Check local maps to find safe bike routes in your community.  Set aside ample travel time on your way to work because biking to work will take anywhere from two to six times longer than driving.  Wear bright clothing so that cars can see you.  Most importantly, enjoy the fresh air and the exhilaration of being outdoors!</p>

<p>Slow and steady wins the race, the race to stay fit that is. A recent study showed that those who engaged in moderate physical activity, such as biking and walking, maintained the highest overall activity levels. Those who did vigorous exercises for short periods of time spent more of their day being sedentary. Vigorous exercise does burn calories, but those who enjoyed moderate exercise tended to be more active overall.</p>
<p>The process for finding the right fitness trainer is not hard, but can be a bit time consuming. It will be well worth it in the long run, as you want to have the right chemistry with this person to make working out fun and worth it to you. No one wants to be stuck with someone they do not like for many hours per week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why go to Cancun, Miami or L.A. for your next vacation?  Go somewhere and have experiences you will never forget.  See Vietnam on a cycle.</p>
<p>Vietnam is a paradise waiting to be uncovered.  This hidden treasure is best discovered by cycle.  Take a biking tour through the countryside. Spend hours touring through Hanoi. Recover the history of a country that many do not know a lot about.  Learn about Vietnam and enjoy the company of the populous.</p>
<p>Take days to wind through Vietnam.  Ride on the outskirts of the breathtaking tropical rainforest.  Enjoy cross-country biking tours that span a week and include full days of cycling.  You can leisurely ride through the rolling farmlands and villages, which have been producing food since ancient times.</p>
<p>Stay overnight at quaint hotels on beaches and mountain resorts.  Cycling through Vietnam allows spectators to see the Bat Trang pottery village up close.  Take a few moments to meet some of the friendly locals that work in the craft shops.  Peddle past the Red river delta and have lunch in Mr. Nygen Dang Che’s house.  This state recognized craftsman is famous throughout Vietnam</p>
<p>Before embarking on a Vietnam biking tour it is important to research the trip.  Traveling though Vietnam is safe but one wants to be aware of the country they are venturing to.  A short trip to the library can be a great way to find out a little about Vietnam.  Discover all of the treasure there are to see when in Vietnam. Plan your biking tour accordingly.</p>
<p>Biking through Vietnam can be a life-changing event.  This beautiful region of the world was meant to be experienced on a bike.  There are plenty of biking tours that will take you through this historic and challenging land.  There are many different types of biking tours to take advantage of.  Take a short adventurous biking tour that take you around the edge of the jungle.  Explore the mountainous region of Vietnam on a mountain bike excursion.  No matter what type of biking tour you enjoy Vietnam biking tours have something for everyone.</p>
<p>Visit Hanoi’s Belle Epoque neighborhoods on bike.  See the former influence of the French colonial rules that was ousted long ago.  Travel a diverse biking path from the mountains that are tucked away in the north west of Vietnam to breathtaking tropical beaches.</p>
<p>A full day biking tour can consist of 2-10 people.  Get a group of friends together and take this extraordinary trip.  Find a great deal on a week long bike tour through Vietnam.  There are biking packages that cost well under a thousand dollars that will lead you through the beautiful countryside of Vietnam.  Go a half-day tour of Oramoi beginning at the Ho Chi Minh mausoleum this tour will take you to some of the most enchanting and fascinating places in Vietnam.  </p>
<p>Ride by the Temple of Literature, a historic place at Quoc TuGiam, which is the first university of Vietnam.  Along the way, there will be time to stop for lunch and dinner at elegant restaurants.  This biking tour will not disappoint.</p>
<p>Spend the evening in Halong Bay and take a leisurely boat ride on the Halong Bay.  Bike through the Hue and get a great snap shot of the Imperial Citadel.  </p>
<p>Something to consider when taking a bike tour of Vietnam is the language barrier.  Biking tours will generally be in the language of the host country or in the language of the group that the tour sees the most representatives from.  For example, if the French are the most common group to sign up for biking tours in Vietnam, then the tour will probably be in French. Find out what language the biking tour guide will speak before signing up.  It can be quite frustrating to have no clue what your tour guide is talking about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are planning your first or your fifth biking vacation, tips pnm how to choose you new tour bike are always useful. When buying a touring bike it is always helpful to visit one of your local specialized bicycle stores and get as much advice as you can from their knowledgeable employees. The store will also offer the possibility of trying out several different sizes, heights and styles of bicycles that you can use for your biking vacation.</p>
<p>When going onto a biking vacation, comfort is a great factor when sitting for longer periods of time on a bicycle. You might have ridden bikes before, but maybe never than a few hours on one day. On such shorter trips you usually will not experience the problems that can occur when riding a bicycle that is not really comfortable for longer periods of time. The right tour bike for you needs to first of all be the right height for you. Even though, many bicycles are height adjustable in saddle height and handlebar height, it is important to choose a bicycle with the proper tire and frame height. The adjustments that can be made at the saddle or handle bar are minor and cannot accommodate more than a few inches either way. The right height of a bicycle can be found by plain trying it out and sitting on it. When you sit on a bicycle you need to comfortably reach the bottom but also be able to almost stretch your leg when pedaling. Important is the almost, it is not very healthy to stretch your legs all the way; the knees need to always be slightly bend.</p>
<p>Besides the right saddle height, you also need to figure out what kind of handle bars you feel comfortable with. There are straight, bend, extended, upward extended handlebars and with so many things on a bicycle, these are plain for the comfort of the person riding. While some people like to bend down or need to bend down for reducing wind resistance, others prefer to be as much upright on longer distances as they can and therefore prefer an upward bend elevated handlebar, which does leave the elbows in a comfortable bend.</p>
<p>One other major factor when buying a bike is the saddle. For different shapes behinds, there are different shaped saddles and only one or two certain saddles might be comfortable to you on a long ride. Some people like saddles cushioned, while others prefer a harder saddle. Yet again this is a personal comfort choice and most often just trying it out is what you need to do.</p>
<p>Touring bikes also offer many accessories, such as saddle bags for small bicycle repair tools, rear bag holders, easy reach water bottle holders and anything that can make your long vacation trip more comfortable and enjoyable.</p>
<p>If you are not quite sure about a bicycle, some stores will give you the opportunity to try it out for a test ride, similar to a car test ride. Also, sometimes some of the bicycle rental places might have the bicycle for rent that you are looking to buy and this way you can try the bicycle for more than just a few minutes and see if it is the right one for you. Also keep in mind when buying a tour bike that you are going to be riding it for long periods of time and that you do not just stop your cycling vacation because your behind is getting wound or plain uncomfortable. Comfort is the number one measure on long bicycle trips and can make any trip a success.</p>
