Brooks Saddles Barbican Messenger Bag List Price: $0.00 |

In 1910 John Boultbee and his son Wilfred Mason Brooks filed two patents related to improvements in satchels, knapsacks and the like. Both these patents guaranteed more equal distribution of the load over the straps and more stability of the bag whilst cycling. With this in mind we developed our new BARBICAN Messenger Bag, featuring a shoulder belt which can be easily secured around the waist during the ride. The belt is the innovative part of this bag. Once adjusted to the desired length, depending on the height and waist of the cyclist, the belt can be kept loose to carry the bag over or across the shoulder while walking. For increased stability during the ride, the belt can be easily fastened around the waist simply pulling the two ends of the belt and locking them at the center with the ?Sam Brown? fixing. Materials: water resistant fabric with leather finishing. |

Featured Article:
Riders have a couple of choices when it comes to how to ride a horse at the trot. If you are riding a western horse that jogs (a slow trot), then of course you are going to sit the gait. Any horse, moving slowly at this gait should be ridden by sitting in the saddle.
But, what do you do when your horse trots fast and with high knee action? You can learn to sit this trot as well, bit it's darn difficult and nearly impossible for any substantial length of time.
Instead, riders learn to post in the saddle. Posting is a gentle rising up and down in the saddle in unison with the horse's gait.
Remember, the trot is a two-beat gait with the horse's diagonal legs striking the ground simultaneously. For example, the horse's rear left leg hits the ground at the same time his right front leg hits. Then, the other two hit the ground together, and so on.
This action can be very jarring to a rider. Posting alleviates that problem. When a rider posts at the trot, she is rising out of the saddle in unison with one set of diagonal legs and sitting with the other set of diagonal legs.
Properly executed, the horse's motion thrusts the rider out of the saddle during one stride and then the rider lowers herself back into the saddle with her thighs during the next stride. This becomes a rhythmic rising and lowering with each and every stride.
Sounds easy! But, here's the problem: When riders first learn to post, the motion is described and maybe shown to them, but not thoroughly explained.
HERE IS THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE MADE BY RIDERS LEARNING TO POST: The rider puts undue weight in their stirrups in an effort to push themselves up out of the saddle. Standing in the stirrups creates a seat that is contrary to good posting and makes it that much more difficult!
Posting from your feet like this causes you to rise too high in the saddle, only to plop down too hard on the horse's back. It further prevents you from feeling the horse's action and learning to move with the horse rather than independently.
SOLUTION: If you find that you are making this very common mistake and can't seem to find a way to overcome it, try posting without stirrups. Without the stirrup as a "crutch", you will quickly get the feel of letting the horse's action thrust you up, rather than generating that propulsion yourself with your feet. After all, you cannot stand in a stirrup that isn't there!
Once the horse thrusts you up, you use your thigh muscles to gently keep your balance and lower yourself back into the saddle. Remain loose, though. Do not tense up anticipating the use of those muscles. If you remain relaxed, posting will come to you much easier.
After you touch down in the saddle, you are lifted up once again by the horse's action. This rising and lowering action continues. Of course it depends somewhat on the horse, but posting should generate a small motion, no more than a few inches. And, exceptional riders will post in such a fluid motion that they look as though they are floating up and down. You do not see a defined up and down but rather a sweeping action. That should be your goal.
My advice is when you are learning how to ride a horse and how to post, learn the proper way to begin with. Feel the horse, let the horse create the propulsion that lifts you out of the saddle, not your feet. You'll find that by doing this, you will post only a few inches out of the saddle and you will feel his gait through the saddle and in your seat much better.
Posting will become second nature after your initial learning process. It's much like riding a bicycle. After learning how to post at the trot, you will be able to post on any horse any time in the future! You'll probably experience an "AH-HA!" realization when you "get it" and you'll never forget how!
Good luck. For more riding tips, go to www.horseridingvideos.org

Take a Fashion Trip by Bicycle
Hermes Bicycle
Hermes collaborated with Dutch bicycle manufacturer Batavus and adorned an Old Dutch with meticulously stitched leather accents on saddle, handle bar grips, as well as the frame’s two main down tubes. The 3-speed bicycle maintains its old original black finish. The calfskin leather used in this bicycle is the high point. Personally, I would prefer function over luxury when purchasing a $3,500 bike. However, it would be a net alternative for the lucky guys with the sufficient financial resources.
Chanel Bicycle
In Chanel’s spring/summer 2008 fashion collection, Chanel came up with its newest covetable accessory: an ergonomically designed, eight-speed bicycle to celebrate the heritage of the house and Coco Chanel’s love of cycling which documented in the book L'Allure de Chanel: "I dominated fashion for a quarter of a century. Why? Because I knew how to express the times. I invented sport suits for me. Not because other women were playing sports, but because I was playing them. In 1914, there weren't any dresses to play sport in. When women went to watch sport, they looked like the women watching medieval tournaments in those conical hats. They had very low waistlines, and were constrained at the hips, the legs, everywhere… By inventing the jersey, I liberated the body, I got rid of the waistline, and I created a new silhouette." The Chanel bike is impressed with very fine craftsmanship, such as the quilted leather handles, seat made by the legendary Brooks Brothers, pant guard, even the bike pump is covered in Chanel’s signature quilted leather. Behind the seat are two quilted flap bags and a jewelry roll.
Gucci Bicycle
Now I introduce you to the Gucci Cruiser Bicycle, a bike whose price range fits in between the Hermes and Chanel bikes. The bronze metal frame is the ideal complement to the chocolate brown Guccissima leather seat, handlebars, seat pack, and pannier. On the pannier is the white signature logo and Gucci text. It's remarkably restrained, and an elegant and eco-friendly way to get around. Gucci offers you another 8-8-2008 Limited Edition bicycle created by Gucci’s creative director Frida Giannini. The bicycle features bold red double GG leather details. Frida comments: “Not only does red evoke “Happiness” and “Celebration” - two emotions that couldn’t be more appropriate to describe the excitement in the world of sports - but it also happens to be a very fashionable color for 2008! The name coincides with the start of the Olympic Games in China, which is the only country where you can get this.

Need information about a Batavus Woman's Cambridge bicycle, please?
Alright, so today I bought an old-looking Batavus Cambridge bike from a charming elderly man for $100. I'm trying to find more information about the bike.
It is clearly a woman's bike, it has skirt guards and a fully enclosed chain. It has a luggage rack on the back, and a friction generator on the front wheel used to operate the light on the handle bars. Underneath the handlebars are the break system, one brake on each side, almost looking like a second set of handlebars. The only clear writing on the bike is "Batavus", "Intercycle" and "Cambridge." It has a genuine leather Brooks seat. The frame is fairly large, and the bars from the handle bar to the seat are diagonally sloped downwards, not curved.
I'd really appreciate any information on this bike, or any help finding the serial number! Thanks in advance.
good luck finding any parts for it
though it could last a while as is
serial number - you just have to look
could be under bottom bracket [ce nter of pedals]
on the headtube
where the rear wheel attaches to frame [[dropout]]
won;t really do much good to have it though
it;s not collectible that i know of
if you need parts go to a bike store
preferably one that deals with old bikes and has some experts, not just walmart
wle
Mini Cooper enters the cycling market
Don't be fooled by the way it looks - this is a new-fangled bike masquerading as an old one.
Thanks for visiting!
