Team LUNA Chix<\/a> consists of 280 women and 29 teams nationwide that work to support and inspire each other and women everywhere to get outside and exercise. They’ve created a top five list for smart cycling which will serve you well if you plan to saddle up this summer!<\/p>\n

5 Tips all bikers should know:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get the right gear<\/strong> \u2013 Finding shorts with the right padding and jerseys with the right ventilation is key to having a successful and enjoyable ride.<\/li>\n
  2. Pack smart tools<\/strong>\u2013 Make sure you bring tools and gear as safety precaution. The LUNA Chix usually carry a spare tube<\/em>, patch kit<\/em>, multi tool<\/em> (Park Tool Rescue Wrench), tire levers<\/em> and an air pump. <\/em><\/li>\n
  3. Fuel up <\/strong>\u2013 Eating before and after a ride is important, but make sure you pack snacks that will provide fuel for your body and keep you from getting hungry.<\/li>\n
  4. Check before you ride<\/strong> \u2013 Always check tire pressure and brakes.\u00a0 If you have an extra minute, go over the handlebars, seat post, frame and wheels for potential cracks and shimmies.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n
  5. Rest up<\/strong> \u2013 Allowing your body time to rest and take in your first few rides of the season is important; try to prioritize at least 8 hours or more of sleep and maybe even a nap to store up energy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Team LUNA Chix also offers a variety of apparel, gear and protein bars – visit TeamLunaChix.com<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n
