Or maybe you do know about gearing and Presta valves, but your cyclist is the type who goes ahead and buys things for him or herself.

Tandem bicycles can be viewed as one of the first customized bicycles. The first tandem was created when an inventor welded two bicycles together to create a bicycle for two. By the 1800s the bike design had been patented and marketed.

There are even off-road models available for adventurous biking couples. There are several terms that you need to learn when talking about a tandem bike.

With a tandem bike, each rider works equally to propel the bike, as one long chair runs through both sets of pedals to drive the rear wheel.

Couples that enjoy riding together but who have different levels of strength and stamina chose a tandem bike because it forces compromise in riding speeds and allows them to always be together or to keep up with the group. 2. A person with a disability who cannot ride a bike on their own would get all the benefits of[..]

There's one big problem with using a bicycle to run errands and go to work; it can be dangerous. Car drivers are often not that careful and you have minimal protection. Take these steps to protect yourself as you ride. 1. Keep your bicycle in good condition. Regular tuneups aren't just for cars. They do bikes a lot of good too. Keep your tires inflated and your brakes in good condition. Bicycles are simple enough that you may be inclined to learn how to do a tuneup on your own, or you can take it a couple times a year to the bike shop. How often you go will depend on how much you ride your bike. 2. Use appropriate safety gear. Never, ever forget your helmet, and remember that other[..]

Copyright (c) 2009 Neal Spruce MYTH: Eating a diet that is too low in calories will cause the body to go into starvation mode and not burn any calories FACT: Severely cutting calories will cause the metabolism to adjust slightly, but not enough to prevent fat loss Remember that people around the world who truly die of starvation are not overweight when they expire. It's true that when you severely cut calories your metabolism will make a slight adjustment, allowing your body to run on fewer calories—but it's not a large compensation. If you need to lose weight and you are not, eat less and/or move more and forget about slowing your metabolism. That said, the point is not to lose[..]

The best way to protect your bicycle is: "Have more security on your bike than the bike it's parked next to." Looking at many different locks that are available, most do the basic securing of a bike.

The most popular product used to protect homes, cars and motor bikes is: An Alarm! Most cars have them why not my bike? While looking for a good lock I decided to look at alarms also. A separate bike alarm will cost from $25.00 to well over a hundred dollars. An alarm is a great idea because this is something that[..]

Most of us take our bicycle wheels for granted. Once we're rolling, we may think about the handlebars or derailleur and we definitely think about the saddle, but until we get a flat tire, we rarely give a thought to our wheels. Just like someone who works on their feet all day should pay attention to the shoes they wear, bike riders should know at least a little about their wheels. When we say "bicycle wheels," we are talking about the whole circular complex of the front and back wheels. No matter what kind of riding you do, road or mountain, racing or recreational, your wheels, linked to your human kinetics power through the crank of the bike pedals, are what move you through a distance[..]
