Hell on Wheels List Price: $29.95 Sale Price: $16.49 |
|
There may never be a better documentary about the Tour de France bicycle race than Hell on Wheels. Directed by German filmmaker Pepe Danquart (who won an Oscar® for best live action short film in 1994), this breathtaking documentary covers all aspects of the 2003 edition of the Tour de France, and it's likely to remain the definitive record of the event from an immediate you-are-there perspective. Outstanding cinematography, award-winning editing, and the extreme challenge of the Tour make this a truly unforgettable film, full of real-life drama and fascinating competitors who bring a deeply human dimension to cycling's annual extravaganza. This was the year that American cycling legend Lance Armstrong won his fifth consecutive Tour de France victory, but Danquart's film wisely avoids overemphasis on Armstrong's dominance, focusing instead on German teammates Eric Zabel and Rolf Aldag, whose 11-year history as Tour de France roommates lends the film a more personal quality that gets you right inside the Tour's physical and psychological endurance test. The July 2003 event marked the Tour's centenary celebration, and French scholar Serge Laget provides valuable perspective on the race's cultural importance in France, with vintage film clips to illustrate how the grueling 2,500-kilometer Tour has evolved--and stayed the same--throughout its 100-year history. Highlights are abundant (including Armstrong's nearly devastating crash late in the race), but Hell on Wheels goes beyond basic sports reportage to achieve the dramatic impact of a feature film. Danquart strikes a satisfying balance between beautiful travelogue footage of the French countryside (including the Tour's scenic stages in the Pyrenees mountains) and the veteran's perspective of Zabel, whose honest assessment of his own cycling abilities makes you realize that even great cyclists view the Tour with awe, fear, and inspiring courage. In capturing the beauty, pain, and glory of cycling's most daunting competition, Hell on Wheels caters to a specific audience while retaining its universal appeal as a colorful and exhilarating film that anyone can enjoy. --Jeff Shannon Go behind the scenes with the riders of Le Tour de France, the most prestigious and physically punishing bicycle competition in the world. See the fear, courage and pain up close, following such illustrious competitors as Lance Armstrong, Erik Zabel, Jan Ullrich, Tyler Hamilton, Alexandre Winokurow, and others, as they navigate magnificent landscapes and push their limits to the breaking point. Not just for biking enthusiasts, this gripping documentary offers an inside look at not just the competitors, but also the managers, fans, and everyone who plays a part in this spectacular event. 123 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: German; Subtitles: English. In German with English subtitles. |

Learning how to change a bicycle tire and tube is one of the most common and easiest repairs you can do on your own. Whether you need to change a flat tire on the trail or want to replace an old tire, this tutorial is for you.
Tools needed: Tire Lever, Tube.
How to Change a Bike Tire and Tube:
1) Remove wheel from bicycle.
2) Deflate or remove air from bicycle tube.
3) Use your tire lever and hook the outer edge of the bead.
4) Pull the tire lever around the bicycle rim, such that the tire bead pops out.
5) Remove tire and tube, such that you remember its exact positioning on the bicycle rim. (This will aid in locating the cause of the puncture).
6) Slightly inflate the tube to approximately 15 psi and inspect for puncture location.
7) Once the puncture location is found, look in the same spot on the tire and the rim. Often times, a thorn or nail could have penetrated the tire and caused the puncture. It is also important to make sure that the rim tape is in position and in good shape. Often times, the spoke nipple will protrude and cause a puncture in the tube.
When you have determined what has caused the flat, make the appropriate repair.
9) Grab your new tube and inflate just enough to give the tube shape.
10) Place the slightly inflated tube inside of the bicycle tire.
11) Orient the tube and tire such that the valve stem is inserted into the rim first.
12) Slowly roll the bead over the rim with your thumbs. (Do not use tools! This could cause a pinch flat!).
13) Inflate the tube to approximately 20 psi and fondle the tube all the way around the rim to ensure it is seated properly.
14) Inflate tire to appropriate pressure. (i.e. 40 to 60 psi for most mountain bike tires).
Tips:
* Wear ear and eye protection. Note that it is possible for a tube to pinch or explode during installation. Anyone who has changed enough bike tires and tubes has at one time or another had it explode near their face.
* When installing the tube and tire, make sure the valve stem stays in place. Any unusual strain on the valve stem could cause a pinch or flat.
* When inspecting the tire for foreign objects, it is sometimes best to turn the tire inside out. This will allow you to inspect the tire thoroughly.

When Does a Bicycle Ride Become a Sport?
When bicycle riding becomes a competition, then it could already be considered a sport. And road bicycle racing is one of the most popular sports that make use of a bicycle. This type of bicycle sport is held on roads according to a particular area’s geography with the use of racing bicycles. This sport involves competing riders which will start their ride all the same time where the winner will be the first one to reach the finish line. This sport is quite demanding physically. Other variations of a road race are the individual and the team time trials.
Although the popularity of road racing is global, it is more especially so in Europe. Some of the most active European countries which hold yearly road bicycle racing are France, Belgium, Italy, UK, Luxembourg, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands. The sport is also popular in USA, Australia and Russia. The types of riders that join the road bicycle racing are what are referred to as the climber, the All-rounder, the Time Trialist, the Sprinter and the Domestique.
There are also several types of road bicycle racing in terms of the number of days the race will be held. The first type is the “single-day race”. With this race, the first person who will cross the finish line upon completion of all courses prescribed will be the winner. The race distance differs starting from only a few kilometers to as long as 200 kilometers. The courses may comprise 1 or more laps of a circuit, may run from place to place or both. Another type is the “single-day nocturnal races” which are done to bring in a much larger crowd. The next type of race is the “stage race” which consists of several stages (races) that will be ridden consecutively. With this type of race, the rider with the lowest cumulative time in completing all stages of the race will be the winner. There may also be other awards and classification as may be decided by the race coordinators such as individual stage winners, King of the Mountains winner, points classification winner, etc. Lastly, there is the type referred to as the “ultra marathon”. These are very long races but are only a single stage event. It usually takes several days to finish. The “Race Across America” or RAAM is the most famous ultra marathon there is. It is a 3000 miles coast to coast, single stage non-stop race usually taking a week to finish.
Joining these races is no easy task. Tactics should be employed to ensure high winning potential and the body should be well-prepared to be able to endure the race. It would be best to equip yourself with the ins and out of the race you intend to join in as well as prepare all the gears you may need. Most importantly, have the best performing bicycle to assist you in your race.

A bicycle is racing around on a horizontal surface in a circle of radius 22 m. The force exerted by the road on the bicycle makes an angle of 14 degrees with the vertical. What is its speed?
the equilibrium condition requires that the vertical component of the force N exerted by the road balances the weight, whereas the horizontal component gives the centripetal acceleration needed to racing on a circle
then
N*sin(theta)=m*v^2/R
N*cos(theta)=mg
therefore
v^2/(Rg)=tg(theta)
v= sqrt(Rg*tg(theta))=7,3 m/s <---- or 26,3 km/h
