Go Ride a Bike!

May is National Bike Month. Whether you’re interested in getting fit, saving some gas money, just having some fun, or all of the above, cycling can be the way to go.

To learn about bicycles and cycling, look in MasterFILE Premier in GALILEO. Just search for bicycle or cycling to see articles as well as reviews of cycling equipment. You can also find several magazines, such as Bicycling, Mountain Bike, Ride BMX, or BMX Plus in MasterFILE Premier.

If you’re interested in a little history, check out the Bicycle article in Encyclopædia Britannica to learn about the development of bikes from treadle-powered velocipedes to boneshakers to the ordinary to the modern bicycle.
