There’s a bike for every kind of ride. To maximize your cycling experience, you’re going to want a set of wheels that tailors to your specific needs.

The biggest concern when deciding on a bike ought to be terrain. If you’re sticking to pavement, you’re probably looking at a road bike, an e-bike, or a cruiser of some kind. If the trail or gravel road beckons, you’re going to want a mountain bike (check out these mountain bike destinations) or similar, and one that can eat up the many bumps you’re sure to encounter. Likewise, a ride through hill country will require different gears for pedaling ease while a flat commute is deal for a fixed-gear or three-speed bike.

Consider distance too when choosing a bike. Obviously, road bikes are cut out for day-long rides but we’re not all looking to go full-on Lance Armstrong. Some of us just need something to get us and our messenger bags ten or so blocks down the road every now and then (if that’s the case go vintage or opt for a cruiser). Others need convenience and packability (try a folding bike). And some want something easier on their backs (try a recumbent bike). If you plan to be riding for long durations, you’re going to want to be co comfy, so think about how the frame is set and related features like saddle type and handlebar arrangement.

If you’re planning on making this your main mode of transportation, you’re going to want something reliable. Many people bike to work and rely on a certain frame style that allows them to wear office clothes while riding. Others prefer a sportier bike and stretchy cycling clothes and changing outfits once at their destination. Also, consider the frame measurement as bikes come in many different sizes.

Seeing bear poop on the trail? Here’s what you should do
Bear poop: what it looks like and what to do about it
what to do if you see bear poop daniele levis pelusi wxmzt3sie4g unsplash

While hiking in the woods, it's not uncommon to come across a pile of animal waste. It's gross, to be sure, but identifying scat is actually one of the easiest ways to keep yourself safe from dangerous wild animals. These telltale signs can mean the difference between you charging through into a bear's territory or not, so knowing what to look for can help keep you safe. Here is everything you need to know about bear poop and what it means if you come across it in the middle of the woods.
What does bear poop look like?

Bear poop can vary in appearance. This is because bears may have different diets, or they might even be different kinds all together. Generally, bear scat is larger and more cylindrical than human or dog feces. Segments can be several inches long and about 1-2 inches in diameter, but the size of the scat does not always directly correlate to the size of the bear. The contents of the bear’s recent diet play a larger role in determining scat size and appearance. For instance, a bear that recently ate a lot of berries may produce more, but smaller, scat compared to a bear that consumed a large animal or fish.
