You need to have a reasonable level of fitness for cycling, be it competitive or recreational.

The general definition of physical fitness is simply being in shape or having good health. One of the best ways to get fit and stay that way is through cycling, be it on the road, on the trail, or on the trainer.

Physical fitness offers many benefits including better health, greater strength, more flexibility, increased energy, improved appearance, positive attitude and mood, and many more.
