My mother tells me everytime I go ride a bike to wear my helmet, but my friends think its ridiculous. I ride bicycles well i.e. never fall, but how much protection does a bicycle helmet offer.

Note: I’m using a set of Shimano 105 50/39/30 crank, combining with a 12-27 (12,13,14,15,16,17,19,21,24,27) cassette.
My friend, Yin drives a 2002 Honda Civic DX, with a 1.7L, 115 horse power engine and a 4-Speed automatic transmission.

Scenario: I’m a very zealous cyclist and enjoy taking on difficult challenges. My friend, Yin and I take the same route to work, which is a quiet rural road. There is a stretch of a six mile straightway (flat side road). She promised to keep her engine below 2500 rpm, which would limit the engine from reaching optimal torque.

So I’m wondering if it is possible to keep up with her car?

If so, at which gear and cadence?

I know they can be switched out, that's not the point. I'm just curious. Almost every road bike and ATB come with quick release wheels. But every single-speed messenger bike doesn't. I'm just wondering what the reason is behind that.

I ride to work 3 times a week, it's 15 miles round trip. When I have time on the weekends, I plan on going for rides, but don't have time atm. So going with just riding 45 miles a week, the uphill grades aren't too drastic and a big chunk of the ride is flat, how long do you think it would take before I start seeing a physical difference (besides the awesome tan I've gotten).

Could it be the frame size, stem, or seatpost height? For some reason my knees are aching after rides. I'm 5'11" with a 30" inseam. I've been riding MTB for awhile so this injury is surprising to me. Help!

I Have a Dawes Accent mountain bike I can not get top gear, I have tried to adjust the derraileur with the hi and low screws and adjust the cable tenshion, the derraileur is sitting on a small notch (looks like it is there to do this) and the spring seems to be working.

could this be due to a worn component?

I have a budget of up to 400 dollars. It will mainly be just for riding 3-10 miles each day, and eventually I want to ride trails. Thanks for the suggestions.

I ride a “Trek Madone 4.5 WSD” road bicycle. Last year, I rode 4563 miles. She is a 50 cm carbon frame, with a Shimano 105 50/39/30 crank / Shimano 105 12-27, 10-speed cassette.
This might be a bit silly, as I enjoy pedaling; I often choose to try to keep up with my friends while they drive their cars. This is the best option, especially since I’m the only cyclist in the group. So, every time we have an outing, they will drive and I’ll ride.
As long as I could keep up with my friends’ cars, I would try to stay in line with them. Would it be possible to draft off from their cars?
