Bicycling Side Hustles
In recent years, more and more people are looking for creative ways to earn extra income, and one way to do so is through a side hustle. A side hustle is a way to make money outside of your regular job, and it can be an excellent opportunity to turn your passions and hobbies into a profitable business.

If you are a cycling enthusiast, you can use your bicycle to start a side hustle and earn extra income. A bicycle can be a versatile tool for running a business, and it can be used for various purposes, including delivery, transportation, and tours.

My side hustle is this blog. I don't make much money from it but, after 50 years of cycling, I am passionate enough about to write about all topics about bicycling. If it gets more traffic it could become a serious side hustle but I really doubt that will happen any time soon.

Here are some tips on how you can use your bicycle to create a successful side hustle:

Delivery services: With the rise of online shopping, there is an increasing demand for delivery services. You can use your bicycle to provide a reliable and eco-friendly delivery service to local businesses or individuals. Some popular delivery services you can offer include food delivery, grocery delivery, and package delivery. You can partner with local businesses or use platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Postmates to find customers.

Transportation services: Another way to use your bicycle to make money is by offering transportation services. You can provide bike taxi or bike messenger services to people in your community. This can be a great way to earn extra income while staying active and helping the environment. You can promote your services on social media, classified ads, or word-of-mouth.

Bike tours: If you enjoy cycling and exploring new places, you can use your knowledge of the area to provide bike tours to tourists or locals. You can offer guided tours or self-guided tours and promote your services on online platforms like Airbnb Experiences, TripAdvisor, or your own website.

Repairs and maintenance: If you have mechanical skills, you can offer bike repair and maintenance services to local cyclists. You can provide basic services like tire repairs and tune-ups, or offer more advanced services like custom bike builds. You can promote your services through social media, community events, or classified ads.

Fitness and coaching services: If you are passionate about cycling and fitness, you can offer coaching services to individuals or groups. You can provide cycling classes, training programs, or nutrition coaching. You can promote your services on social media, local fitness events, or your own website.

A bicycle can be an excellent tool to create a successful side hustle. Whether you enjoy delivery services, transportation, bike tours, repairs, or fitness coaching, there are many ways to use your bicycle to make money. By leveraging your skills and interests, you can turn your passion for cycling into a profitable business and earn extra income while staying active and healthy.

Cycling is a popular form of exercise that is known for its many benefits. One of the most common reasons people take up cycling is for weight loss. But the question is, is 30 minutes of cycling a day enough to lose weight? In this blog post, I will explore the answer to this question and look at the benefits of cycling for weight loss. When I first started cycling as an adult after a few years of being sedentary, I thought 30 minutes a day was a lot. It did not take long for me to ratchet up from 30 minutes a day to more. Cycling just has a way of grabbing you and not letting go, but I quickly found out something else. If I was going to continue eating my same bad diet, even an hour of cycling every day was not going to help me lose weight. I am going to cover the basics here and then try to answer the question, is 30 minutes of cycling a day enough to lose weight. Understand the concept of weight loss:  It's important to understand the role of calories in the body. Calories are a...

As I embarked on my bicycle tour across the eastern United States, I had no idea what kind of adventures awaited me. I was excited to explore new landscapes, meet interesting people, and challenge myself both physically and mentally. Little did I know that my journey would lead me to a fascinating encounter that would test my commitment to my marriage. One day, as I was biking in search of a bike path that would lead me to 30 miles of traffic-free riding, I found myself in front of a vintage art store. It was there that I met a woman who would leave a lasting impression on me. As I was getting ready to take off, she approached me and asked if I was biking cross-country. We struck up a conversation, and I soon learned that she was from Cajun country with a unique accent. She found my Texas accent intriguing, and we talked for about 45 minutes. I couldn't help but be fascinated by her warmth and charm, and she seemed to enjoy my company as well. As I was preparing to leave and say go...

The Mindful Cyclist: Enhancing Your Cycling Experience Through Mindfulness

Cycling is not only a great way to stay active and explore your surroundings, but it can also be a powerful tool for improving your mental and emotional well-being. By practicing mindfulness while cycling, you can enhance your experience, reduce stress and anxiety, and boost your overall sense of well-being. If you had told me way back when I started cycling that I would be talking about mindfulness I would laugh at you but here I am all those years later doing it. Cycling does change as you age and I find practicing mindfulness pretty cool. This may sound hokey to some of you but I find it serves me well. Understand that I am no longer a competitive cyclist. I do not enter races trying to place high in the standings. If I enter a race nowadays it is just to enjoy the fact that I can ride, meet some cool people, and see if I can finish it. Most of my riding today involves getting ready for multi-day adventures. I don't go fast. It is about endurance but it is also about stopping an...
