Big city cyclists need big city protection, as would-be thieves aren't intimidated by flimsy cables or weak U-locks. That's why serious cyclists turn to Kryptonite for their security needs. The Evolution Series 4 U-lock is a cut above other bike locks, with a 14mm hardened Max-Performance steel shackle designed to resist both cutters and leverage attacks. Ideal for anyone who lives in moderate to high crime areas, the Series 4 received a 9 on the Kryptonite 1-12 lock comparison system, which ranks the varying levels of security offered by the company's product range. A lock that ranks 1 on the Kryptonite scale might work if you live in the burbs and have a Rottweiler parked next to your bike or motorcycle. A lock that ranks 12, however, is built for maximum deterrence. The Series 4 also offers such security-enhancing features as a double deadbolt locking mechanism for extensive holding power; a disc-style cylinder with more than one million key variations; a reinforced anti-drill/pull cylinder protection system; and a center key location with a dual overhead cam locking mechanism that defends against leverage attacks. The Series 4 is about more than just security, however, with a sliding dustcover that protects and extends cylinder life, anti-rattle bumpers that reduce noise during transport, and versatile EZ mount transportation bracket. And as a bonus, the lock comes with three keys, one of which is lighted with a high-intensity bulb that makes it easy to unlock the Series 4 after dark. The lock measures 4 by 9 inches. The Legendary Durability of Kryptonite Locks The first big test for Kryptonite locks came in 1972, when Kryptonite founder Michael Zane directed the Second Avenue Bicycle Shop in New York City to lock a three-speed bicycle to a signpost in Greenwich Village. Although thieves immediately stripped all of the bicycle's removable parts, the bicycle itself remained for 30 days and 30 nights. The publicity gave Kryptonite the boost it needed and forever changed the face of bicycle security. Twenty-two years later, Kryptonite returned to the streets of the Big Apple to test its latest innovation, the New York lock. In April 1994, the New York Post laid down the ultimate challenge: Could Kryptonite's New York lock last 48 hours on the toughest streets of New York? In a city where more than 100,000 bikes are stolen each year, Kryptonite and the Post locked a brand new, bright green Univega road bike worth $600 to a parking meter in the East Village--the Bermuda Triangle of New York bicycle thievery. For a full 48 hours, the bike remained locked on the corner of Avenue A and 11th Street. Zane and Neil McDaid, director of product development and design for Kryptonite, watched from around the corner as the bike came under every possible means of assault, stumping thieves at every turn. After 48 hours the bike remained intact except for the gear derailleur, which had been stripped off. The lock showed definite signs of abuse, but it had not failed. The New York lock had met the Post's challenge. Not satisfied with the length of the test, Zane moved the bike to SoHo for another six days and, finally, uptown near the Lincoln Center. Even in these high-theft areas the properly locked bike lasted another three weeks before being pulled off the streets by Zane and McDaid. The Post also ran the New York lock through a battery of street tests using common bike theft tools: a 4-foot bolt cutter, a crowbar, and a hammer. The non-Kryptonite locks cracked in seconds, but all methods failed on the New York lock, even the monstrous bolt cutter, which was rendered useless with large dents in its jaws. About Kryptonite In the early 1970s, Michael Zane was a free-spirited, bearded kid with a VW van and a big idea for a new kind of lock. He traveled thousands of miles showing the unique U-shaped locking device and spreading his passion for bicycle security to bike dealers all around the country and forged lifetime relationships. The company soon expanded its product line to include power sports, hardware, and snow sports security. Through innovative product designs, cutting-edge marketing savvy, legendary customer service, and pure fanaticism for security, Kryptonite grew with a cult-like following. In 2001, the company that was started in a VW van was purchased by industry giant Ingersoll Rand and became a flagship brand in the company's Security Technologies sector. Publications such as Bicycling, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, and a host of others continued to tout Kryptonite products as the best on the market. The company's dedication to its customers is best represented by its actions during the fall of 2004, when it was discovered that the industry-standard tubular cylinder could be compromised, at times, with a household item. Kryptonite flew into action, created a voluntary lock exchange program, and replaced more than 400,000 locks in 21 countries for free. In essence, the company redesigned the equivalent of nine years worth of new products in just 10 short months. Kryptonite is the only company in the world that offered such a comprehensive plan to customers, taking its "legendary customer service" pledge to new heights.

Handlebar Bike Road

If you want to become an experienced and good cyclist, you have to know a few tricks and to try perfecting your techniques all the time. This way, your body can work more efficiently and you will be satisfied with the results.

First of all, think about pedaling while standing. This technique can help you very much when you want to attack or when you want to alternate the muscles you use. However, pedaling from your seat is a lot more efficient on the long run. There are a lot of beginners who don't master this technique, standing up on their bike and swinging, therefore pedaling in vain. Pedaling while standing is a standard technique, being used all the time. In fact, this technique makes the difference between beginner cyclists and experienced ones.

Then, you should be relaxed and not squeeze the handlebar while pedaling. If you are very focused on a certain climbing, you will feel that your body is giving up and you will squeeze the handlebar. Thus, you also push all your muscles trying to move forward. The problem is that your palms eventually go numb if you do this, then the tension moves to the arms, then to the neck, then to the shoulders and eventually to the chest. The tension in your shoulders and chest won't allow you to breathe properly, reducing the amount of oxygen your body receives. Oxygen is essential for your muscles to be cleaned up and for providing the body with energy. Your legs will hurt a lot easier and it will be a lot difficult for you when you approach the finish line if the upper part of your body is contracted.

Therefore, be careful with how you feel on your bike and with what you want to achieve when cycling.

Biking Essentials: What You Should Know Before Getting on a Bike

Biking is gaining popularity in the Philippines. More bikers are hitting the streets, forming organizations, and taking long biking trips. No matter the country, however, seeing free-wheeling bikers enjoying the wind blowing through their hair can evoke feelings of freedom, fun, and excitement. Whether you are into bikes and biking as a sport, as a profession, for exercise, for recreation, or for just plain fun, it is important to be responsible while biking, to ensure your safety and comfort. This article will cover some helpful information on purchasing a bike such as its types (mountain bike, road bike, hybrid bike, etc.), bike safety, and responsible biking.

Bike purchasing tips

Before setting out for the closest bike shop, it is important to know what kinds of bikes are out there and how to find the right one for you. There are basically three kinds of bikes for consumers to choose from. First is the road bike, which is designed for good traction and speed on paved streets. The road bike usually has a thin and lite frame that makes it ideal for rides that are long and fast. Second is the mountain bike. Mountain bikes are normally larger and chunkier than road bikes, since mountain bikes have to withstand the wear and tear of riding on bumpy, uneven surfaces. Mountain bikes usually have extra features such as shock absorbers, wide tires, and straight handlebars. The third kind of bike commonly used by cyclists is the hybrid bike. The hybrid normally has a lite frame, an upright seat, straight handlebars, and skinny tires, making it ideal for city-riding.

The next concern when purchasing a bike would be the rider's comfort. To have a comfortable and safe ride, those purchasing a bike should be sure to get the right-sized frame for their body. Since each person has unique dimensions with regards to height, leg length, and arm length, there is no one-size-fits-all kind of bike. When purchasing bikes, spend time at the shop and get assistance from the salespeople. Ask which frame would suit your size best and try out various frames to see which is most comfortable. For even more comfort and safety, adjust the handlebars and seat position to ensure comfort, proper posture, and maneuverability.

Bike safety tips

Anyone who has a bike should know how to operate it and keep it well-maintained to ensure the rider's safety. Bike instruction manuals provide helpful information on how to change, adjust, remove, and even assemble different parts of the bike. Aside from understanding how to adjust and fix the bike itself, it is also important for bike owners to know how to fix flat tires and change the chain. Another helpful safety tip is to do a three-point check before every ride:

1. Check the tires and breaks – Make sure that the tires are properly inflated and that all of the breaks are in proper working order.
2. Check the chain and gears – Ensure that the chain is properly seated on the gears and that no slipping occurs when changing between gears.
3. Check the bike frame, seat, and handlebars – Be sure that the frame is in good condition and that the seat and handlebars are adjusted to the rider's comfort and that all parts are fastened tightly.

Responsible biking

Anyone who is thinking of biking regularly, especially those who live in the city, should be aware of their responsibilities as bikers. Bikers should be aware of all the rules, regulations, and policies that govern biking and the streets in general. Follow bike lanes, sidewalks, and bike paths as much as possible and try not to ride on the portions of the street designated for motor vehicles. Biking with a group or a parter also helps in being responsible and safe when biking. Finally, be sure to bring any important gear that may be needed along the trip or in case of emergency such as water, cell phone, extra tire tubes, patching kits, a little money, and a form of identification.

Why do road bikes have curved in handlebars?

I'm looking to buy a bike to ride to the beach this summer. I have a mountain bike right now, but the ride is terrible.

I look at schwinn road bikes(assuming that's what is best to ride about 5 miles to beach and back). They have curved in funny looking handle bars. It looks like I'd have to bend forward a lot and would hurt my back.

What's the benefit of these bars? Does it hurt people's back after long amount of riding?

Road bikes have handlebars called 'drop bars'. These are meant to give the ride a more aerodynamic profile. Time trial bikes (similar to road bikes) have aerobars; those are meant to be ridden hunched over except the riders weight are supported by the bent elbows.

They will eventually hurt the rider's back thats why riders ride upright while coasting. Proper bike sizing will help in preventing or minimizing back pain during rides.

If you enjoy biking but feel that a mountain bike is too harsh for you and road bikes look uncomfortable, why not try a HYBRID bike. Hybrids are bikes with road-specific tires and the geometry is somewhere close to a 'crusier' where the rider is in an upright riding position. Some even have front suspension, seatpost suspension and springy seats to smooth out road imperfections. A good example of a hybrid bike its the TREK 7100. Google it and good luck
