Cycling is a sport which offers great fitness, competition, enjoyment and stress relief. However, in order to gain the most out of your cycling it is important to invest in the proper equipment and cycling clothing. It is also very important that your bicycle is set up correctly for you.
Lets run through a list of cycling apparel as a sort of checklist by which you can ensure that you get the most from your cycling. Of course you need a bicycle, and then a helmet, glasses, cycling jersey, padded cycling shorts, gloves, cycling shoes and socks.
When purchasing a bicycle, the first thing you should look at is whether the frame is the right size for you. The size depends upon your height, but also on the length of your upper body. These two factors will determine the height of the frame's seat tube as well as the length of the top tube. Different frame builders often use different angles, resulting in variations in frame proportions. It is best for an expert to assist you personally in ascertaining the correct frame size.
Next you need to make sure that the saddle height is correct, usually allowing for 25 - 30 degrees of bend in the leg when the foot is at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Here again it is advisable that an expert assist you. Other adjustable settings include the length of the stem, the angle of the saddle (which is usually set parallel to the ground) and the fore-aft position of the saddle as it slides on its rails. Once you are fitted properly to your bicycle you can concentrate on kitting yourself out in cycling clothing.
Cycling jerseys (shirts) are made of breathable material and fit snugly so as not to flap around in the wind. On the front the jersey has a zip and at the back it has three pockets in which you can put your spare tube, pump, keys or other items. Cycling shorts made of Lycra and are padded to give more comfort on the saddle. There are cycling shorts with drawstrings around the waist, but many prefer "bib-shorts", which come with straps which run over your shoulders to hold up the shorts. Cycling shorts fit tightly to reduce wind drag.
There are many cycling helmets on the market these days, many of which are highly adjustable. Look for an indication of whether the helmet of your choice meets the standard of the testing authority. A bicycle shop will be able to guide you in your choice, and will probably not sell a helmet which does not comply with safety standards. Make sure that the helmet is adjusted in such a way that it fits comfortably, yet firmly on your head.
A good pair of sports, or cycling glasses, will protect your eyes from both the sun and any insects or other objects which may fly into your eyes while you are cycling. Look for a pair that fit comfortably, provide adequate protection from the wind and give the required UV protection.
For added comfort on the handle bars, try a pair of cycling gloves, these fingerless leather palm padded gloves will also protect your hands should you come a cropper. Then all you need is a pair of ankle high cycling socks and a decent pair of stiff soled cycling shoes. The shoes should have a firm sole in order to reduce the amount of energy lost in the pedal stroke. If your sole is too soft, and your foot bends around the pedal, you are effectively wasting much of the energy your legs are working so hard to transmit into forward motion.
Cycling becomes much more enjoyable when you are able to ride comfortably and safely with the correct cycling gear. As a better prepared cyclist you will be more efficient in your cycling and get much more out of it.

Beach Cruiser Bikes - They Are Back!
Beach Cruiser Bikes are definitely back! However, they aren't just for the beach anymore. You can see people riding them in town, out on the boardwalks, school campuses, bike trails, and of course, they do still ride them on the beach.
The Beach Cruiser Bike has grown in popularity for all ages and in every type of community. You can see entire families out riding their cruisers together, or retired couples taking up bike riding. People are using them for commuting to work or school and instead of taking the car to the coffee shop or to the store, they take their bike. It is definitely the "in thing."
Unlike back in the 1950's, there are many colors and styles to choose from. They come in different sizes too, from young children to older adults. With the wide tires, they are still great for riding on the beach as well as on pavement. The seats are saddle seat design, which means they are wider. Most come with a memory foam type cushion which really adds to the comfort. Another great feature with most of the Beach Cruisers is the frame, forks and rims are made of aluminum, which makes them virtually rust proof, perfect for the beach environment.
Accessories are also available to customize your Beach Cruiser. Choose from different color seats, there is a huge selection of basket liners to personalize your bike with, you can get different type horns or beach ball style ringers, just about anything you can think of. This is about the only style bike that people really go all out to "decorate" to give it their own unique signature.
The Beach Cruisers are meant for semi flat ground, however, there are some that have 3 speed controls which helps in hilly areas. But they are not meant for steep or mountain type of biking.

My seat pole is stuck deep down in the seat tube?
I bought a second hand bike and needed to adjust the seat height. I didn't really know what I was doing and now the seat pole has gone all the way down into the seat tube. The saddle has been removed but the pole has gone so deep I can't grab hold of it
Any suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks everyone. I ended up turning it upside down and giving it a good shake and it fell out,
Try and tell us a little more about what type of bike this is, and what type of post.
I'm assuming it's got no clamp on the top since it went all the way into the tube.
If the top is hollow, perhaps you could fashion something like a coat hanger into the shape of a fish-hook and push it down into the tube until you can hook the bottom edge and pull it up. Make the "U" of your hook fairly wide so that it will expand once it gets past the end of the post and help to keep it from slipping off. I'm not sure this going to work and maybe someone else can think of a better tool for the purpose, but give it a try for now.
Some type of tool that is sort of shaped like an umbrella would be good, so that it can grab hold on the whole edge of the post, maybe someone knows of something like this.
If it "just slid down in", it really should come back out, like Pro said. Try turning it upside down and gently banging it onto a block of wood, so you don't mash the tube. You could also spray some WD-40 or other lube down in the tube if seems to be sticking, this might not do much but wont hurt anything.
