Cycling Questions and Answers


Why is unicycling knotty?

Question:why is unicycling hard provide three ditails
Answers:


First, the single wheel and standard construction of a unicycle means it can't own much in the opening of suspension (other than the air buffer created by the atmosphere in the tires) ... this can head to a fairly self-conscious ride.

Second, the position of the rider relative to the wheel (i.e. directly over it at some significant height) make for a high center of gravity ... which within turn makes for an unstable platform. The rider requests a VERY good sense of symmetry!

Third, the drivetrain itself is (usually) direct drive. This means that for every turn of the pedals, the helm turns once. Even for 'geared' drives, there's usually only one ratio and no freewheel ... which ability the feet hold to travel proportionate to the wheel at adjectives times (no coasting). Similarly, reversing foot direction is the only track to stop or back up ... short of jump off the 'cycle itself.
it is extremely tricky. it only have 1 wheel, match has to be great, you can spatter backwards and break ur head expand.



Can I get a tyre-pressure gauge compatible with CO2 inflator?

Question:Foot pumps and large CO2 regulators for other applications routinely feature attached pressure gauges, but CO2 inflators for tyres apparently do not. Can I get an inflator with a gauge, or a small gauge that can be attached in-line, in order to measure the pressure in the tyre without having to detach the inflator; or does such a thing not exist?
Ta.
Answers:


only seen 1 pump like you describe and the gauge is not accurate
Genuine Innovations make it, and they make most of the better CO2 cartridge pumps and adapters
when you use CO2 for a quick repair, you just go with the feel, and use a regular floor pump for pre ride pressure checks

Depends on her stage. If you are getting this for Christmas and want it to be a surprise, measure her stride from her pelvic bone to the bottom of her foot. Take the width with you when you move about to buy the bike.

Has anyone out within ever crash on a mountain bike and spit the helmet within partly and lived?

Question:I was mountain biking and thought I could progress over a 3 feet log. I've done it past but this one had tight slime growing on it and I crashed full speed and landed on right side of my leader. I thought I had bash my face within at first but only injuries I have was a cracked right sinus,2 broken ribs, and multitude of scrape and lacerations.

But when I took my helmet past its sell-by date it was cracked right down the middle!

Has this happen to anyone else?

It was a blast!! I be so proud I showed my helmet to everyone I know.

I want to do it again but don't want to get kill or paralyzed. Am I crazy that it made me feel great and more alive?
Answers:


Done it a few times.
Im 12 years ancient and on my 2 mile paper route next to 35 pounds of papers on one side, i creash riding down my hill surrounded by the snow! It is so fun! Have u ever tried to ride through thick rime? It is a blast... you pedal as fast as u can, and you SLOWLY tip over! (
Cant say-so ive cracked my helmet YET..

I wonder what my customers think when they see me riding.. :-O
That's in actuality what's supposed to happen. The helmet absorb and dissipates the energy of the impact by crushing and breaking apart.
Wouldn't try to do it again though - helmets don't protect your nouns; and can't protect you in every crash. It's middle-of-the-road to feel alive after escaping something resembling that relatively unscathed, but there are probably better ways to carry that feeling.
