Start Small (And Actually Stick With It)

One of the biggest reasons resolutions fade is trying to do too much too fast.
Instead of committing to daily rides, try:
- One short ride during the week
- One longer ride on weekends
- Even a 15 - 20 minute spin around the neighborhood
Consistency matters more than distance. Kent bikes are built to make everyday riding comfortable and approachable, making it easier to ease back into a routine.
Make Riding A Family Habit

Ideas to get everyone involved:
- Weekend park rides
- School-break bike outings
- Letting kids help choose routes or destinations
From kids bikes to adult bikes designed for comfort and durability, Kent Bicycles makes it easy for the whole family to ride together, regardless of age or experience.
Choose Rides That Fit Your Lifestyle

Not every ride needs to be a workout.
Some easy ways to ride more:
- Bike to grab coffee or run errands
- Ride with kids while they practice
-
Short neighborhood loops after work
Kent’s hybrid/comfort bikes, along with cruisers, are designed for everyday moments, making riding feel like a natural part of your routine rather than another task.
Refresh Your Bike For The New Year
A little attention goes a long way in January.
Before your first few rides:
- Check tire pressure
- Clean and lightly lube the chain
- Adjust seat height for comfort
Starting the year with a bike that feels smooth and ready makes riding more enjoyable and keeps motivation high.
Plan Ahead For Spring (Yes, Already!)

January is the perfect time to look ahead.
Try:
- Picking a local trail or park you want to ride in the spring
- Setting a family ride goal (like a monthly outing)
- Making biking part of summer plans
Having something to look forward to keeps you riding now, even on colder days.
