How To Buy Bicycle Components And Bike Clothing Online

Executive Summary about Bike Oline by Andrew Caxton

How to buy bicycle component and bike clothing online. At one time you could only buy cycling equipment at your local cycle shop, if they had what you wanted or you had to hope they could order it and then you would have to wait for it to come and hope it was the right size, colour or price. Then cycling magazines started to have adverts for the bigger stores and you could post off a cheque and wait for your prized article to arrive. Look them up on the web, go through the search engine or if you have a particular make in mind, find them online and if you can't try some in a shop, this is best, because size can be a problem, one manufacturer size 9 could be a half size bigger or smaller than another company, and most of the best cycling shoes are Italian, so remember that European sizes are very different from American or English sizes, and German shoes are wider and Italian shoes are narrower and you may be looking for a size 44 or 45, so try as many different shoes you can and then make your decision. Sizes of helmets, like shoes can vary, so if it is possible to try before you buy, then make sure it's a comfortable fit, the big difference between cycle shoes and helmets is that helmets come with different pads to go inside so you can make the helmet fit exactly, which could help if you've ordered the wrong size, this is not something you can do with cycling shoes.

All About Bike Locks

Executive summary abaut bike lock by Joseph Devine

All Abaut Bike Loks. No one wants to have their bike stolen. As such, it is important to know all about bike locks as a theft deterrent.

Bike locks are physical security devices that are used on bicycles to prevent theft. They fasten bikes to a bike rack, bike stand, or other immovable object. Unfortunately, for all of the innovations in bike locks over the years, there is still difficulty in securing a bike adequately. The most secure method of locking a bike involves locking the wheels and frame together and then to an immovable object. It's important to check that the immovable object to which the bike is locked is not short enough that the bike can be simply lifted over the top.

Locks vary in size and security. This protects not only the bike from theft but also anything else that might be on the bike.

Locking Your BicycleMountain bikes can be used for trail riding, road bikes can be used for racing or distance riding, cruisers can be used for leisure rides, but every bike has something in common with every other bike. If you use your bicycle as a mode of transportation, it is important to have a bike lock. On top of that, it is important to have a good bike lock.

Lowrider Bikes History

Executive summary abaut Lowrider Bikes by Alastair Hamilton
Lowrider bikes history, one of the most splendid and unique products of this culture, are a cross between the Harley and the cruiser bike, decorated with paint and chrome and streamers, found in any all-American hometown parade.

As you might surmise, lowriding bikes hug the ground. The seat of a lowrider bike is down at wheel level and its pedals are sometimes higher than the seat! These bikes are typically a highly individualized creation. Despite the fact that these bikes originated within the poverty of the barrio, lowrider bikes are anything but cheap. As the baby boomer generation ages and feels increasing twinges of back pain riding on the dropped handlebars of road bikes, expect to see more and more lowrider and recumbent bikes alike.
And once you get your first basic lowrider bike, don't be too surprised if you find yourself flipping through the real or online pages of a lowrider parts catalog musing, "Hmm

Executive Summary about kids bike by Ben Tullett

How to buy kids bikes, Kids love bikes and if you have children, chances are at some point or another you're going to have to buy them a bike. But there's more to buying a bike for kids than just picking a bike at random. You may be very tempted to keep your bike purchase a secret, especially if you're buying a bike for a kid's birthday or other holiday. When you first see the large selection of kid's bikes, you may be a little overwhelmed. Some girls' bikes are actually designed differently. Overall, however, there's no real functional difference between boys and girls bikes. Any girl can ride a bike built for a boy and vice versa if they want to.

Today's bikes often include some image or reference to popular TV characters. If your kid absolutely loves one certain show, buying him / her a bike with that show's character can be a great move. Unlike adult bikes, bike sizes for kids are based on the diameter of the wheel and not seat height and frame size. Kids Age - Inside Leg - Wheel Diameter
2-4 years - 35-42 cm (14-17 inches) - 12 inches
4-6 years - 40-50 cm (16-20 inches) - 14 inches
5-8 years - 45-55 cm (18-22 inches) - 16 inches
6-9 years - 50-60 cm (20-24 inches) - 18 inches
7-10 years - 55-63 cm (22-25 inches) - 20 inches
9+ years - 60-72 cm (24-28 inches) - 24 inches

Choosing The Right Bike Tire

Executive Summary about bike tires by Laurence Vinn Jacobsenn

Choosing the right bike tire. One of the most essential parts of the bike is of course its bike tire. A bike tire has different classifications created to suit a biker's need. The most common is the clincher tire. This type of tire is usually used in road bikes.

This type of bike tire is quick and aggressive hence, it is thin and light. Then there is the mountain bike. It is built to handle challenges that are on the mountain trails or off-roads. It is built with sturdy rubber and a knobby thread. This type of bike tire is therefore not recommended for road or racing bikes because it will hold on to the pavement making your travel slow and hard.

Interestingly, this type is built for making tricks with your bike.

How to Put New Bike Tires on Rims

Executive Summary about bike tires by Allan Cassidy
What if you are riding your bicycle and your tire suddenly went kaput? You should know how to put those new bike tires on the rims of the wheel. Rim is what they call the circular metal where the tire is mounted on. Step 1: You will need the right size of bike tires, of course. Step 4: Once the tire has significantly deflated, it will be easier to detach it from the rim. Just push the screwdriver between the tire and the rim. Slowly pry the tire including the inner tub away from the rims. Just insert it in the new tire you have bought. Locate the bike rim hole and insert the tire stem in there. Proceed by inserting the rest of the tire in a circular motion. Step 7: Place the wheel back in the bicycle again and reattach the bolts. Now you can inflate the tire

How to Choose the Right Size Road Bike

Executive summary abaut bike sizing by Winston Endall

How to chose the right size road bike. Choosing the right size road bike can be tricky as they don't all fit the same. Two companies models listed as the same size can have vastly different measurements. When a company lists the size of a road bike frame it is some variation of the length of the seat tube. That point can be the center of the top tube, top of the top tube, top of the seat tube or some virtual point that isn't even on the frame. Add in sloping top tubes and this can get really complicated.

To compare the size of frames you should look at the effective top tube length and headtube length. If choosing between two models that have a slight variation in top tube length you can compensate with a longer or shorter stem. When figuring out a frame size for a client I will take measurements of inseam length, torso length, arm length and shoulder width. You can also search for online size calculators that instruct you on how to take your measurements and calculate the correct size.

Get the Right Bike Size and Frame

Executive summary abaut bike sizing by Phill Charter

The Grand Bicycle Ride

The heavy frames came with laid back angles, and with long wheel bases. Even steel bicycle frames progressively got lighter by making the tubes thinner, and joining them without using lugs.

Bicycle frames revolutionized when alloy tubes came into the picture. Most people now go for alloy bicycle frames, often combining with carbon forks, carbon chain and seat stays in some cases.

Mix and Match - Bicycle Parts

We would basically buy the best bicycle frame that we can afford, add the right bicycle parts, and see that they fit well.

Getting the Right Bike Size

The most basic element of sizing a bike frame is commonly referred to as its height. A road bike frame's height is normally thought to be ideal if it is 67% of our inseam length. A mountain bike is however ridden on a much smaller frame.

Frame sizes are affected by the unique configurations of our body, and which can be accommodated by differences in frame geometry, top tube length, seat post height, and/or saddle angles, handlebar width, and slant, or even crank length.

Good Reasons To Wear Bike Shorts

Executive Summary abaut Bike Short by Fabian toulouse

Cycling is a wonderful pastime. Flappy jackets create wind resistance. Bad clothing choices have an impact. One of the most painful choices, however, is opting not to wear proper shorts.

The first advantage of cycling shorts is the fabric from which they are made. Between the close fit and the synthetic material, cycling shorts provide comfort while you ride and help prevent chafing and rashes. Finally, as these shorts fit so tightly, they effectively hug or compress the thigh muscles, cutting down on muscle fatigue.

When looking for shorts to wear cycling, the best material is lycra. You would not ride horseback or play football without protection, right? check out my other guide on How To Buy Bicycle Components And Bike Clothing Online, Get a Hitch Bike Rack and Keep Your Bike Safe

Bike Racks - How to Choose the Right One

Executive summary abaut bike rack by Mark S mayes

Selecting the right bike rack can be a challenge. There are basically 4 types of bicycle racks available today.

 Roof Mounted Bike Racks

Roof mounted bike racks are a popular choice for bike storage and transportation today. If you have a roof rack already mounted on your vehicle it makes this a much easier choice. However, there are some versions that work without a car roof rack.

Flying rocks and debris can hit the bike and cause damage.

Hitch Bike Rack

There are other versions available that allow the bike to swing away so the rear of the vehicle can be accessed. Many people like this type of a bike rack because the bicycle is protected from flying debris.

Truck Bed Bike Rack

This type of a rack firmly attaches to the bed of the truck and can carry one or more bikes. This works great as compared to just throwing bikes in the back of the truck. Using this type of a rack protects the bikes from getting damaged or bent.
