Featured Article:
I've been travelling the three miles to work and back on my old push bike since April/May time. It was hard at first but now I really enjoy the ride, especially in the morning when the sun is already drenching the roads and the pavements.
I feel a sense of achievement when I reach work, if a little out of breath. I've always ridden without a helmet....hats never did really suit me and it flattens my hair to my head which doesn't bode very well when you're meeting members of the public all day.
However, I have now been forced to wear the darn thing or stop riding my bike altogether.
Most drivers are courteous and overtake leaving plenty of room, bearing in mind cyclists really need a certain amount of road so they are not bouncing over all the drains. Unfortunately though, there are some drivers that seem oblivious to the dangers of passing so close and on a daily basis I have been involved in near misses.
Yesterday morning a young driver cut in so close in front of me, at speed, that he almost knocked me off my bike. I was already positioned to overtake a parked vehicle and could hear sirens approaching from the rear. There was a bollard in the middle of the road just passed the parked car. Two drivers flew passed relatively safely when this young man shot passed me in his silver vw golf and cut in very sharply, presumably so as not to make contact with the bollards, completely ignoring the fact that he could have killed me in the process. I pulled into a gap to allow the ambulance through. I couldn't help wondering if the Ambulance would have stopped to help me if I had been knocked off, or whether they would have continued to their original destination, calling in my accident on the way and requesting another ambulance... thankfully there was no need for me to find out!
The incident really shook me up so much that I wondered whether it was really worth using my bike at all and I knew that I would either have to wear a helmet (just in case...) or allow myself to be literally run off the road and forced to use my car or some other means of traveling to work.
This morning I had resigned myself to using the car but the weather was so beautiful at 7.30am with the sun shining brightly and it was a very calm morning. I couldn't waste an opportunity to get some exercise and fresh air, so I donned my helmet and set off as usual (managing to get there in one piece thankfully!)
So, if there are any car drivers reading my article, please please have a thought for the safety of the cyclists on our roads, after all, if you kill one... you're going to have a really bad day...
I hope you enjoyed my article and hope you drivers can understand... I Want to Ride My Bicycle, I Want to Ride My Bike!
Shimano Mountain Bike Wheels - Striking Balance Between Comfort And Performance
A frame, a seat and a couple of wheels-if that's how you think of a mountain bike then you've probably never heard the name Shimano. Founded in 1921, this Japanese manufacturer of cycling components, among other things, puts a bit more thought into its product. Perhaps what they are best known for is their diverse selection of Shimano mountain bike wheels. Of the many different styles that the company keeps in its catalog, all bear similarities in attention to detail. Riding Shimano mountain bike wheels means using a product that relates how the part works together with the whole in the following areas:
Braking: Wheels are integral to the braking system as they support the tires in their linkage with disc brakes and the flow of air from rider to ground. Shimano's catalog features products that understand how this relationship works, and accentuates the proper amount of power between these two sources.
Handling: Mountain biking is much different from competitive speed cycling. When you're on the back of a mountain bike, you're taking on the elements in all of their unpredictable nature. The way your wheel spokes twine together plays a huge role in your bike's ability to maneuver at a moment's notice. The more unpredictable nature gets, the more you need the commitment to quality that distinguished companies such as Shimano provide.
Supporting weight: Aside from keeping together the tire diameter, which generally ranges from about 12 to 27 inches, the wheel also must factor in the pressure placed on it by the rider. The larger the frame, the more important strength and craftsmanship of materials are to a wheel and tire's overall performance.
Synchronicity: It's possible to have a decent bike with a mediocre frame, but it all starts from the ground up. How the wheel works with the rest of the cycle is essential to overall performance. The wheel and tire combination is not unlike the foundation of a house. And much like a home, a bike is not always going to remain in one place. While bikes do produce more movement, those sounds you hear as you go to bed at night-commonly known as "the house settling"-represent movements that the foundation is prepared to accommodate. Poorly lain foundations lead to repairs and the general feeling that your house is falling apart. Cutting corners on the set of wheels you choose for your cycle results in a mountain bike that is unprepared for the terrain.
In the end, the style of wheels that you choose for your mountain bike is dependent on two factors: toughness and maneuverability. Shimano mountain bike wheels demonstrate this commitment. Before you commit to your bike's foundation, make sure it deserves your confidence.
