If you are one of those people who leisurely pedal around the block or over a flat stretch of scenic road, you've probably been riding for sheer pleasure. Riding bikes for pleasure is a good form of aerobic exercise. But unless you map out a plan to "push yourself," you probably won't lose much weight.

A high tire pressure makes the bike hard to control and gives you a bumpy ride.Unfortunately there's no one tire pressure that you should use, because it varies according to your personal preference, the condition of the tire, the type of terrain and the condition of the trail.
