Cycling

How many miles on average do you cycle a day?
I'm thinking about selling my stupid car and start using a bicycle. Do you think that's a good idea?

Will aluminum frames hold him? What about spokes, tires, etc? Can we just buy a standard mountain bike? Would that work?

They have the best team in the sport, and despite all the doping problems in cycling (not with this team even) someone has to want to be involved with them, right?

If i want to upgrade my fork on a mountain bike, i would have to know the measure. ometimes i hear 5", or 6", but what is that? is that the whole fork or is that just the part that comes out of the tube. Sometimes its silver metal, coil or covered with rubber with a spring look to it. I mean a fork with suspension, not like a roadbike fork, a freeride mountain bike/dirt jumper fork.

Thanks

I ride a carbon fiber frame road bike and was unlucky to hit a log at a very high speed (around 70km/h). I cleared the front wheel but the rear wheel really took a hit. I know that carbon fiber bikes are strong, but I would like to know what kind of warning signals should i be looking for? My rear wheel had to be replaces (hard hit) but the bike seems OK. Should I be concerned about micro cracks spreading?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Although I LOVE my local bicycle shop, I've come to realize that lots of things are so much cheaper bought on line. So after paying way too much money on innertubes way to often I took a look online to buy them in bulk, but wanted your opinion before trying someone new out. Where do you get your tubes?

I'm looking for a new bike, and I've found a couple that I like but I can't decide which one to get. I'm looking at either the Mongoose Blackcomb or the Mongoose Sector. They're both about the same price, but I'm not sure if one is better than the other. Here are the websites I found them at, and if you could give me any extra info to help me decide which bike to get, that would be great.

Sector

I am looking to buy a bicycle for touring. I would like ot be able to put on some luggage bags and racks and do some overnighters and multiple-day tours and I plan on riding daily for fitness. My local dealer recommended a Trek 1500. I rode it and it felt nice but I think its more for amature racing than long-distance touring.
I would prefer an American made bike, but European would be OK - nothing made in China.
Does anyone know about Tommaso bikes?
Lastly, I am trying to stay around or under $1,000.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

if you just walked by and saw a guy biking, would you think that he is a loser or a cool person?? because I recently started biking and I'm finding myself avoiding say "cooler" people from my school because i'm scared they'll think that i'm a loser..><

Hope , you are right sir , I am 53 , experienced cyclist in good shape and I am used to long distances trips and I riding bike about 50 km almost every day . I know that day before I was little dehydrated and tired from long ride , also do not had to much drink before I went sleep after this 158 hilly km but not dehydration symptoms at all . You maybe correct because when I eat energy bar , had candy and half litre of water over about half hour period symptoms slowly went away and I was able to ride . Anyway it was long progress before I did feel better and took 1 day . I did drink on the way more then normally . I was little dehydrated before in numerous occation on my touring trips in Europe , USA and Canada but never ever I did experience symptoms , weakness and sickness like that . Do you think that I see doctor ?

Short of getting a new fork/suspension, i don't know any way to make small things like riding off curbs less jarring. My bike is a sort of hybrid between a road bike and a mountain bike, with a moderately light frame. but the thing about the suspension is it doesn't exist. i don't have any shock absorbers, springs, etc, and i can't afford to go all out and get a good fork. what are some (cheap) things i can do to make a smoother ride in that respect?

Would tire pressure have an effect? i'm saying this because of the Hummer H2's CTS system, which at the press of a button basically deflates the tire for tough off-road situations, and replaces the air for the road.

I just purchased a bike and I don't know to much about them. Are they pretty much like cars, where the tire pressure should read a certain amount? If it helps the bike is a15 speed with 26 inch tires, no shocks. I weigh about 225 pound. Thank you.
