Are these shifters compatable with modern Shimano durailers that have traditional friction shifters?

I'm trying to find something for my boyfriend's birthday. He rides downhill, and I'd like to find a good magazine that he would enjoy. Not cross-country or anything, just downhill.

You push the brake lever sideways to upshift and there's a smaller lever on the side of the brake lever used to downshift.

I am having trouble installing the left pedal. I took pedals from a Schwinn mountain bike for a Schwinn Tourer. I got the right pedal on fine but the left will not screw on. It is labeled (L), I've got it on the left crank but it won't catch. I can force it to catch but will ruin the threads. Is it my mistake or a possible problem with the crank threads?

I've never ridden a bike with speeds, just a normal old fashioned coaster brake bike, and even that was decades ago. I tested the bike, with no advice from the seller about the speeds or what that even means.The bike rides good, the brakes worked, bought it at a great price. Now I read online all about speeds/gears and still not "getting" it. My main attempt at understanding the speeds and gears: as long as it will never "lock up" on me, or as long as whatever gear it's in on either side does not "matter" then I'll consider it a safe mode of transportation. Just want it in the NORMAL ring/shifter mode to ride at a slow/normal pace. Can't ride a cruiser bike - it's too huge and heavy, and can't pick it up should it fall. This one is a 24" bike, easy to lift and fits fine.

I want to get a bike for riding through surburban streets and local park with paved bike paths. I am doing this for excersize, and would like to keep my purchase under $100. ...oh, and I had a 10 speed for a while as a youth, but never knew how to adjust those damn speeds! ;o) If it helps, I am a 29 year old female who has minor knee problems which is why running for excersize isn't really an option. Thanks for any tips!

I bought a bike from halfords, and later thought to get a bottle holder. I went back to Halfords to get one, and asked how to attach them. They pointed to 2 metal bolts on the frame, and they said that they attach to that - When I got home, my bike doesn't have them... So I dunno how to go about fixing it onto the frame!!!
Anyone know what to do???
