Want to start cycling after 50? Here's how

Bike riding offers a wide range of health benefits, especially for those over 50. Cycling is an excellent low-impact exercise that strengthens the lower body muscles and boosts brain function by increasing the production of a protein that supports neural pathways. It can also help with weight management and heart health. Riding outdoors adds extra advantages—being in nature has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood. If you've never learned to ride a bike, now is the perfect time. Research shows that cycling is particularly beneficial for older adults, helping them stay active and healthy. You don’t need to be an expert or wear special gear; all you need is the right bike and a little practice. With the proper equipment and some basic skills, you’ll be able to enjoy the many rewards of cycling. Choosing the right bike is crucial for comfort and safety. Lifestyle bikes are designed for ease of use, featuring padded seats and easy-to-mount designs. Recumbent bikes offer full back support and improved stability, while three-wheel bikes provide added balance without sacrificing style. Make sure to pick a model that suits your physical needs and preferences. When it comes to brakes, coaster brakes are great for beginners because they require no hand strength, but they may not be ideal for higher speeds. Hand brakes offer more control and are better suited for faster rides or busy areas. Similarly, single-speed bikes are simple and easy to maintain, while multi-speed bikes give more flexibility for different terrains and conditions. Learning to ride a two-wheeler takes time and patience. Start by getting comfortable on the bike, practicing steering and braking before pedaling. For recumbent bikes, focus on sitting back and finding the right position for balance. Trikes are stable but still require careful handling when turning. Always wear a helmet and protective clothing, and make sure to follow traffic rules. Use lights and reflectors to increase visibility, and invest in a good lock and insurance to protect your bike. Whether you're a beginner or returning to cycling after years away, there's never been a better time to start. With the right approach, cycling can become a rewarding and enjoyable part of your life.

Laser Diode

CNI provides Laser diodes with free space and fiber coupling option from 405-1550 nm wavelength range. The free space laser diode can be divided in to single mode and multimode. The Fiber Coupled Laser diode can be divided into SM, PM, MM pigtailed and High Power Laser diode module. The small emitting aperture, combined with low beam divergence, make these devices the highest-brightness family of CW laser diodes available in the industry.
