Featured Article:
As a newbie to health and fitness, I have found that you really need to filter your information load. The internet is a BIG place full of scams and it is always buyer beware. Fortunately, I have been very lucky with my purchases off the internet for the last 10 years. The great thing is no matter what the topic you can always find something new if you look long and hard. In this article I wanted to give Cannondale Mountain Bikes fan's a few tips and reminders.
I have searched far and wide to find accurate and what I deem as credible information for a newbie such as myself. There are so many biking styles and options to choose from, heck Cannondale even has the Cannondale Tandem (a bike built for two). Then there are the advanced bikes and all the different models such as the Cannondale 400, 500, 700 and 1000. I thought I would group together some biking tips for the newbie's as well as the old pros, even if they are not that old!
The Cannondale mountain bikes are one of the most reliable and trustworthy for sale out there ANYWHERE.
Cannondale bikes provide the rider with one of the smoothest and most comfortable rides in all their bike classes. The bikes have full suspension systems and incredible road grip that is so important to both the new biker and the seasoned rider. Cannondale mountain bikes have thickest and widest tires than most of the other competing brands. These tires will not let the rider slip on the rainiest and slipperiest of surfaces. The Cannondale bicycle frames are made of fabricated alloys that are 40 times stronger, while still being one of the lightest frames in the competitive biking industry.
People and traffic are very unpredictable and one of the deadliest obstacles for all bikers, when you ride your bike, please be alert at all times. I also would not recommend using headphones in certain riding conditions. I am not a big fan of the new church of the environment but Bicycles save gas, and they do help the environment.
Health & weight loss: I am a struggling 40 year old male and I need to get of another 35lbs before I put on my Cannondale shorts. If done before I might scare old ladies and children. I am hoping by riding my new Cannondale 400 bike that I can increase my weight loss. Running and walking to get into shape and lose weight just gets boring. You will soon find as I did that you need something fresh, new and exciting. When get to this point, and I hope this is one of the reasons you are reading this, take a chance on bicycle riding for fitness.
Riding a bike has many advantages over other aerobic exercise such as the stationary bike, treadmill or even the elliptical. What has happened to me and I know it happens to others is that we get bored with the gym, unless we do go for the meat market. But it does backfire, due to boredom and that will kill your drive to stay focused on your fitness goal. Remember when you were a kid? Did you get bored riding back then? When you complete your bicycle workout, and keep doing it, you will eventually achieve your health and weight loss goals.
It's TRUE you don't forget how to ride a bike. Capitalize on that! Riding a Cannondale 400 bike is one of the most energy efficient transportation modes. Even with gas dropping in price it still is not cheap and let's try every way we can to keep money out of the countries that hate us. Biking is one of the least expensive ways to get around, hands down! Fight OPEC and take your bicycle for a long ride.
Be honest with yourself about your current state of health. This is very important factor when beginning a new regiment for the 1st time. Once you have the go ahead from an MD or you know your body, get off your butt and ride! The people that need to get riding a bike the most are the overweight, mild diabetics, and the sedentary cubicle peeps. These folks, which I am still a member, will benefit the most in both ongoing health and weight loss goals.

The Importance Of Tire Pressure In Mountain Bikes
Tire pressure is a very important facet of riding any kind of bike, including mountain bikes. By learning how to set the tire pressure, you can give yourself more control and help to make the ride down the mountain smoother. If the tire pressure is too low, then you will find that it is much harder to cycle and it can increase the chance of a flat, too. Tire pressure that is too high can make your ride very bumpy and out of control, as well.
Tire pressure can vary from person to person, because it is dependent upon the personal preference of the bicycler, the tire's condition, and the terrain that you will be riding on. The tire pressure can be easily modified simply by using a high quality pump on the tires. A tire pressure gauge is also an essential part of keeping your tires at the optimum pressure.
The manufacturer of the tire will have a recommended tire pressure for your particular tires and this is where you can start. You can then adjust the tire pressure as needed from there. It is best to use the same tire pressure gauge and pump when you check your tires, because you may get different readings depending upon the tire pressure gauge that you choose.
A good rule of thumb is to start with a higher tire pressure for your bike. This means that you want to be around 40-50 psi (3-3.5 bar), and then lower the tire pressure a little at a time to find which tire pressure is best for your particular bike, terrain, and yourself. If you are a little heavier, then you will want to use a higher tire pressure for sure.
Taking a test bike ride is the best way to check the tire pressure. You will want to notice how the tire behaves, how it rides on the terrain, how it slides down the mountain, and how it hooks in the corners. If you have too much tire pressure, then drop it in increments of 5 psi in both tires. If the bike gains grip and is more stable at this tire pressure, then you will want to keep it at this standard pressure. If not, then you will continue dropping the tire pressure in small increments and redoing the test until your bike rides the way you want and need it to.
If you want to determine the lowest possible tire pressure, then gradually decrease the tire pressure until you see how it feels when you ride on almost flat tires. This will help you to learn how it feels so that you can keep your tubes from getting damaged.
If your mountain bike tires are tubeless, then you will want to stay with a lower tire pressure. The advised tire pressure for tubeless tires is between 30 and 40 psi. This is because tubeless tires experience fewer pinch flats and even rim contact occasionally is okay. This is why you can ride on tires with a much lower tire pressure than normal. If the tire pressure is too low, you will find that if you are cornering hard that the tire will roll under the rim.
Another thing that you need to be on the lookout for is rolling resistance. The increased rolling resistance will take more effort, but it will offer you greater control and better traction to allow you to climb easier. For racers who race cross-country, they would rather have a more efficient bike versus greater control, so you have to take into consideration what kind of biking that you will be doing.
Using your hand to squeeze the tire will help you determine what the right tire pressure feels like so that you do not have to rely so much on the tire pressure gauge.

What are the hardware differences between hybrid and mountain bicycles?
How feasible is it to go from mountain (fat tire) to hybrid (thin low drag tire) functions? Can I just change the wheels or is it more involved?
some of this will depend mostly on what type of bike youre talkin' about here. Some cruiser/comfort type bikes will have the exact same rim size as nearly all mtn bikes and will swap with no problem but a 26 and 700 size wheel is NOT the same and there is NO compatibility between tires or frame of the bike including the fork. On a standard 26x2.1 size mtn tire the smallest you could go to is a 26x 1.50 that will fit on that wheel. if you have a French 26x1 3/8 size (S6) tire then the answer is the same....NOT compatible with anything 26" whatsoever. You cannot change the wheels either depending on the frame/fork you have. All you need to do is change the tires and keep the wheels! Any hardtail mtn bike will work fine as a commuter bike if you change the tires to a thinner and smoother tire for less rolling resistance.
