If you are considering buying a mountain bike, you will have been reading and hearing about Hardtail and Full Suspension models and you might be confused as to what they are and how they differ from your standard push bike. Also, knowing which one to buy will depend on how and where you ride it, so read on for more information on each type.
Hardtail
The Hardtail mountain bike is a small evolution from the standard mountain bike. The front forks of the bike (the part of the frame that holds the front wheel on) are allowed to move up and down on a dampened spring system. This gives you a certain degree of suspension, the same as you have in a car, so the wheel can travel up and down independently of the bike. This means that smaller lumps and bumps in the road will be absorbed by the suspension and give you a smoother ride.
Full Suspension
The rear wheel on a Hardtail bike is totally fixed and has no suspension at all. Compare that to a Full Suspension bike though, which has the same front wheel suspension system and also a smaller amount of movement on the rear wheel too. Part of the full-suspension bike frame will be hinged and loaded with a spring to allow the rear wheel and chain/gear mechanism to move up and down along with the front wheel too. This will give a better and smoother ride when travelling over rough terrain, such as a forest trail or muddy hill.
So now you know the difference between them, you might be thinking of which one will suit you best. But hang on! There are a few other things to think about too.
A Hardtail bike will be lighter than a full suspension one, as there will be less mechanics involved and therefore less weight. Due to the fixed back wheel, the Hardtail will also be quicker too, allowing for better acceleration and speed. This is also the same for climbing up hills, where the Hardtail will be better too.
A full suspension bike will be able to handle rough terrain better though, leading to a more comfortable ride on all surfaces. The design allows for more off-road style riding and they will let you bounce down a mountainside hardly feeling a bump. The Hardtail is a better all rounder and will suit more scenarios, but the full suspension models are more fun if you want to hack around paths in the woods or really take the bike off road.

Cycling at The Velodrome
Cycling is having a tough time of it at the moment. The world seems to be against everything to do with cycling, except the part that helps save the planet.
Motorists hate cyclists as they claim they slow the traffic down and take up too much of the road, for which the cyclist pays no tax for the up keep (although a cyclist would have to go some to create half as much damage to the roads as a car) as well as this it appears that probably the greatest annual cycling event, The Tour de France, is riddled with drugs cheats.
The sport's governing body appears to be getting to grips with the cheats but maybe it's too little too late, only time will tell.
I used to race bikes in my earlier years and I loved it. Unfortunately I gave up racing competitively back in my 20's due to work and family commitments but I always longed to get back into the sport.
Every year I holiday in Italy which as you may know is full of cyclists as well as the Giro d'Italia, probably the world's second most famous bike race.
Each year I see the Lycra clad cyclist's out training in the warm summer sun equipped with all the latest gear longing to be back on my bike, it's like seeing an old girlfriend for whom you still have feelings for out with her latest beau...
So imagine my joy when my youngest son got the opportunity to race with his school at the local Velodrome, I could actually get close up and involved in cycling again.
We arrived at the Velodrome in plenty of time to take in the atmosphere, it isn't that big but it's pretty impressive with its steep banking and sleek corners. I fell in love with it there and then; I had to have a go.
So it was with great excitement that I booked myself on a taster session the following Sunday. Included in the fee was bike and safety helmet hire so all I had to do was get myself some cycling shoes, although you can use trainers as the bikes have toe straps, and some clothing.
Sunday was soon here and the anticipation was fantastic. I arrived early to ensure I got a nice bike, and more importantly one that fitted me.
I needn't have been too worried the Velodrome has a good selection of bikes of all sizes. I got kitted up and away I went.
It was amazing! Flying down the wooded boarded track and into the corners you could feel the g - force holding you to the turn.
The hour that I was booked on for went by in a flash. I was like a kid at Christmas; my poor girlfriend had to listen to the same stories over and over again.
For those of you not familiar with track cycling the bicycle that you use has what is known as a fixed gear which means as you peddle the back wheel is turned but unlike a standard bicycle where if you chose to stop peddling you can free wheel a track bike chain is fixed directly to the back wheel meaning if the back wheel is going round so are your legs.
There is no free-wheeling on the track, its hard work all the way round. I've really caught the cycling bug again, my son and I go out for rides each Saturday now, I ride at the Velodrome every Sunday and my son rides there during the school holidays.
If you're looking for a sport to get into that's very friendly and is open to all levels of experience and fitness why not give track cycling a go. You don't have to put up with angry, frustrated motorists and it never rains indoors at the Velodrome.
By the way, my son won his first competition that he was entered into by his school, but he can't beat me, yet.

how do u fix ur gear chain, because me lil sis messed about with my gears when my bike wasnt moving?
Stand next to your bike, lift up the rear wheel and pedal with your other hand. The gears should self-adjust back to the correct position. If that doesn't work you may need to adjust the gears back through trial and error.
