Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews - 12 Pack List Price: $26.50 |
|
While worthy as a wound dressing and known in the Hindu world as one of the five elixirs of immortality, honey is better known as the sweet syrup that we use sometimes rather than sugar to sweeten our coffee or drizzle over our biscuits at breakfast. It's known to have an easily digestible 1:1 glucose to fructose ratio, similar to the fruit we eat, that allows our bodies to make quick and efficient use of its energy without fear of an upset stomach. Sounds perfect for endurance athletes, doesn't it? That's why Honey Stinger uses honey along with tapioca syrup as the carbohydrate source for these Organic Energy Chews.Along with Honey Stinger Gels and Bars, their Organic Energy Chews offer a taste and texture for anyone, anytime you need quick energy. Since the honey is composed mostly of simple sugars like glucose and fructose, it's readily absorbed by your body and turned into energy. You won't have to wait for the digestion of complex carbs before they can be broken down into these same simple sugars and used to produce energy for your legs. So quicker metabolization and a burst of energy sooner rather than later, sounds good to us.Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews are available in a box of 12 packets. Each packet contains one 160 calorie serving of Chews. Honey Stinger recommends eating them every 30-45 minutes during intense exercise to maintain elevated blood sugar levels, and so that you may be able to perform at your best. Organic Energy Chews come in four delicious flavors -- Cherry Blossom, Fruit Smoothie, Orange Blossom, and Pomegranate Passion Fruit. |

Mountain bikes are designed for off-road riding. Whether made for racing or the more leisurely rider, there are four basic frame designs for mountain bikes: rigid, hard-tail, soft-tail, and full suspension.
The rigid (also commonly known as fully rigid) mountain bikes resemble a conventional sort of bike as you would imagine it. A rigid mountain bike has neither a rear suspension nor a front suspension. These used to be the most common kind of mountain bike but they are rapidly being replaced by the more comfortable models which feature some sort of suspension system. Fully rigid bikes tend to be lower-priced than models with a suspension. Many riders still prefer rigid bikes because it's what they're accustomed to, and the feel that the rigid design allows them greater control.
Another common mountain bike design is the hard-tail. Hard-tail mountain bikes are so named because they have a conventional rear end without a suspension. Hard-tails differ from fully rigid bikes in that they have a front suspension. The hard-tail is perhaps the most popular mountain bike design. Many professional riders prefer the feel of a hard-tail and the comfort of a front suspension.
The next kind of mountain bike design is the soft-tail. As you probably guessed, soft-tails employ a rear suspension. Rear suspensions are a more recent innovation than front suspension due to the complexities of the design. Soft-tails are often more expensive than hard-tails, but they also tend to be more forgiving.
Finally there's the full suspension mountain bike. Bikes with this design feature both front and rear suspensions. These bikes are the latest mountain bike design. For a long time riders avoided full suspension bikes because they were heavy and they tended to sag in the middle like an old swayback horse. It took years for engineers and riders to perfect a viable, functional full suspension mountain bike. It was in the 1990's when these bikes finally reached a point where they were marketable.
In addition to the frame and suspension, there are other differences in mountain bike designs. One key area where bikes differ is the brakes. Mountain bikes either have some form of caliper brakes, which are the kind of brakes typically associated with bikes. This kind of brake squeezes the rims to slow and stop the bike. The other type of brake is the drum brake. Drum brakes on bikes are similar to the braking system on automobiles. Drum brakes are more expensive than caliper brakes but they're also easier to maintain. Mountain bike braking systems have even been made which utilize hydraulic power.
Another area where you have some choice in mountain bike design is tire size. Mountain bike tires typically range in size from 24" to 29". Smaller tires are used when greater maneuverability is required as in stunt-riding and jumping. Larger tires are used when speed is the key.
As with any other important purchase, do your homework before buying a new mountain bike. Think about your needs and your budget. Mountain biking is a terrific past-time. It's a fun way to get some fresh air, enjoy the outdoors, and improve your health.

Tips On Buying The Best Road Bicycle
Millions of people worldwide are riding bikes, from the casual rider to the competitive athlete. The question you must face is what is the best bike for me. If you are thinking about buying a road bike then there are some things you must ask yourself to help determine the best choice for you.
What is the reason I want to ride?
How much should I pay for a road bicycle?
What is the difference between the low priced bikes and the higher priced bikes?
The first question we must ask ourselves is why we want to ride a bicycle. If you are just a casual rider there is no need to buy the high priced, carbon fiber bicycle, go ahead and get the lower priced entry-level bike. There will be less need for ongoing maintenance because you won't be riding as many miles. Regardless, you will still have to perform a certain degree of maintenance on whichever bike you purchase. You may not have a need for the upgraded components because you don't need to shave a few seconds off your times. The corollary to this is that the lower priced bike's components will wear out quicker and not be as efficient as the higher priced bikes.
The Tommaso Velocita is a first rate example of a mid priced road bike that offers both quality and better prices.
The price of the bike will also be a determining factor for many people when deciding the best road bicycle for them. Most entry-level bikes will run you about 250 to 450 dollars depending on what bike you buy and where you decide to buy it. This bicycle will suit you well as a casual cyclist because you won't be putting a lot of miles on the bike. You are better off buying a better bike if you plan on riding more than once or twice a week. Depending on the road bike and where you purchase it, a mid-range bicycle will cost between 500 and 1200 dollars. If you are considering using your new road bike for more than just a leisurely ride then you should buy a bike that will hold up to the rigors of everyday use. The higher-range road bikes can range dramatically in price and can reach prices in the 00 dollar range with the lower end of the spectrum at around 1200 - 2000 dollars.
The difference between the low priced, mid-range price and the higher-range priced road bicycles are basically in the quality of the components of the bike. Many beginning riders won't notice how heavy his bike really is until he he sees his friend scream by him on the road with his 14 pound Tommaso with an upgraded derailleur and crank set. The novice may not even notice that he has to slow way down when he comes to the bend in the road at the bottom of the incline while the higher-ranged bike seems to glide effortlessly through the turn with speed and confidence.
This is only several examples that should have given you enough insight to help you choose your next road bike wisely. Your long term and short term goals are the keys to choosing the best road bike for you. Choose a bicycle that has a proven track record of reliability and customer satisfaction and has proven itself over time.
About the Author
I have been a bicycling enthusiast for many years and have ridden many different types of bikes. The most popular low priced bike is the Schwinn Prelude. The most popular mid priced road bicycle is the Tommaso
Velocita Dura-Ace Road Bike. I urge you to check these both out before
buying your next or first road bike.
Are these road bikes fairly priced?
I need a basic bike for commuting. Which is the best? what do u recommend?

don't get the schwinn. if it were $5 i still wouldn't buy it.
for commuting i would go for the Maruishi. it is a single speed bike which means 1) simplicity 2) low maintenance and 3) less costly
the next thing i would do if check if it is the right size
plus i'm digging the yellow chain 
and yes, $140 is an extremely reasonable price. bikes are expensive nowadays. mine costs $3,200. not saying that $140 is cheap. single speed bikes are always going to be less expensive.
