Get Cycling with ŠKODA

It’s our passion for life on two wheels that’s driven us to be where we are today – and we want to use this to inspire others to saddle up. Whether you are brand new to cycling, or a seasoned veteran, there are plenty of exciting ways to hop on the bike and reap the benefits from cycling.

STARTING OUT

Looking to get healthier, fitter and have more energy? Perhaps you’re looking for a healthy and convenient way to get to work every day; or simply a way to get out and meet new people. The reasons to start cycling can be different and you should find your own, but independent of your motivation to jump on a bike for the first time in your life or after a long time, the satisfaction this sport will give to those who try is the same. This feeling is shared between all cyclists; amateurs and professionals alike.

Cycling is an accessible sport to people of all ages and fitness levels. It’s a great, low-impact mode of exercise that can be practiced almost anywhere. All you need is a bike – and maybe some water for the ride! When you’re starting out, remember to take it slow. Start with easy routes and shorter rides, and build from there.

Safety first
