Some suggestions on goals you can set for your cycling in 2009.  Remember,  something like “get strong” is not a very tangible goal.  Make them SMART  (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound).   I know it sounds like one of those lame things your boss would tell you in your yearly review, but you’ll have a much better chance at attaining that goal if you make it “SMART”.

- Start training with a power meter
- Build up to an important event with a periodized training plan - and stick to it!
- Stretch for 5 minutes a day after your ride

As a new rider you may not know how to prevent common mistakes that can lead to physical discomfort during a ride. Even if you have been riding for a long time you can slip into the bad habits of riding discomfort. Here is advice about making every ride a comfortable ride.

1) Muscle Soreness
If you pedal your bike an extra few minutes, say 10 or 15 minutes, after ride or at the end of your ride, you can decrease the soreness of your muscles. It’s also best to avoid hills during these last few minutes of riding. Cooling down is always important!

2) Eye Wear
When you squint due to the sun or wind (sometimes even bugs), you use a lot of energy and the facial muscles can become fatigued. This can lead to headaches and strain. To reduce the risks of this occurring try wearing your sunglasses.

This is one must-have cute home accessory - the solar powered bicycle rider lamp. The cuteness factor is propped up by the fact that whenever this lamp is exposed to sunlight, the bicycle rider within starts pedalling, turning the lamp into a delightful piece of art. The solar panel itself is on a rotatable base so that you can easily catch the source of sunlight. During a cloudy day or at night, you can use it as a conventional lamp (40W) by connecting to a power source. There you go - eco-friendly art that you can use as well.

The price is $49.

But buying some kit will help, too. If a full-on Lycra suit isn’t your style, try a cycling jersey. You’ll want something in polyester or another synthetic designed to wick sweat away from your skin. Cotton is fine, but once it gets wet, it stays wet. But the best advice is to slow down.
