My daughter has a 15 speed mountain bike but mainly just rides it on a paved kind of rough road. I put some air in it but wasn't sure how much is enough. Thanks!!!

I just got a new 21 speed Electra Townie. On it's maiden ride I fell over and skinned my knee. I brought the bike home, then went out again after bandaging my knee. The chain slipped so now I have to bring it back to the bike store!

Did the fall cause the chain to slip? That happened awfully easy. I'm a little concerned because the whole point of going to a bike store was to get something of higher quality.

Is this normal??

I've been using a trunk-mounted strap-on bike rack on my car, but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence that my beloved bike won't fall off at freeway speeds.

I'm starting to look at roof-mounted racks and see there are basically two kinds: the kind that hold onto the fork and require you to remove the front wheel, and the kind that allow you to leave the front wheel on.

Which is better? Obviously the fork mounts require more work, so they must have some other advantage? Is there a problem with the whole-bike mount which would cause me to regret choosing it?

...and other pathways that are used by runners and walkers, do you call out, "On your left!", when you pass from behind??
FYI: You're supposed to. I'm a runner and when I'm out there on the trails for 10 miles or even longer...RUNNING...it is PRETTY annoying when some weekend-warrior type bike rider ZOOMS past me without any acknowledgement. Can you understand what I'm saying? ....It is a courtesy and a safety precaution. (I’ve even seen this stupid biker once come up fast, down a hill right past a guy on his HORSE without calling out before hand!!)
*So, yes, if you DON'T call out "On your left!" or "Passing on your left" or whatever... please BEGIN to....
Thanks,
I.B.T.Y.2

I have recently learned that the NY legislature is attempting to pass a law disallowing the sale of ANY bicycles with quick release front wheels.

I am not kidding.

So, if you value the ability you gain with having quick releases and you live in New York CALL YOUR LAWMAKER NOW. It seems to have already passed part of the legislature.

I just bought a new road bike a few weeks ago, and I am used to riding alot on my mountain bike. I've been going about 30 miles per ride on my new road bike, and I noticed that there is much more discomfort in forward unmentionable parts of my anatomy (as a woman). I already had the seat adjusted from tilting forward to slightly tilted up. It's less uncomfortable now than before, but I still get rather tender. Am I not riding in the right position or is it the saddle's position? Or, is it just something I have to get used to, like my rear end did when I first started going long distances on the mountain bike?

I don't know what kind of pedals I have on my mongoose shimano sora road bike. They are triangular with raised edges, right now they have a plastic toe holder and strap to hold your foot in. However it looks like you can take it off and use the pedal with a pair of cycling shoes...but I don't know. Does anyone know if the triangular pedal with raised sides is a type of pedal I can use with cleats? And if so what is it called?
Thanks.

Imho, the bike manufacturers are to blame, and here are my opinions. What's your two cents?

In my view, bike saddles are uncomfortable and possibly cause the dreaded Male Dysfunction Syndrome. Also, the Shimano fancy gears and shifters wear out in only 1,000 miles and are costly. In comparison, old bikes had gears/chains that lasted 20 years or more.

Open-face bike helmets don't protect the teeth from impact, and there imho aren't inexpensive full-face helmets for people who wear glasses, size 63cm, or XXL.

Then, there's bike theft.

Any other reasons not listed here?
