Biking is an activity that is
low-impact
on body. This means that it doesn't aggravate the joints in our lower extremities, such as ankles, knees and hips. However, aches and pains can arise if your bike isn't properly fitted to your body.

The Canadian Physiotherapy Association has listed some fantastic tips to help you fit your bike correctly.
