Quick release skewer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia His invention was a rear wheel quick release lever with a mechanical extension that placed the lever itself near the bicycle's saddle, combined with a fork that served as a primitive version of a rear derailleur (without idler pulleys to take up slack), that also had a control lever near the bicycle saddle. A quick release skewer is a cam operated lever system used with a hollow axle for securing the wheels on a bicycle. Wheels equipped with quick release skewers can be removed from the bicycle frame and replaced more quickly than wheels with solid axles and hex nuts. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Quick_release   (229 words)

convert a bicycle Since you do not ride often, your current saddle might be OK. But, if what happened to me (got more upright, liked it, and now ride lots) happens to you, you may find that your current saddle is uncomfortable. I have an older Schwinn road bicycle that I would like to convert to a comfort hybrid bicycle. The idea is to get much of the weight off your hands, so why not just start with a stem having a longer quill length and shorter reach like this one. www.cyclingforums.com /t63561.html   (229 words)

Bicycle Saddles It is generally considered a Bad Idea to tinker with saddle position to adjust the reach to the handlebars; it is better to adjust this by replacing the handlebar stem with one with a different reach, or by buying a bicycle with a different length top tube. A common reason for keeping the saddle set too low is that most bicyclists have never learned the proper technique for mounting and dismounting, so they find it convenient to be able to put a foot down to steady the biycle while they are stopped. Saddles with excessive padding are also a common cause of painful chafing of the inner thigh, as rides become longer. www.sheldonbrown.com /saddles.html   (1061 words)

Sheldon Brown's Bicycle Glossary Sa--So Leather saddles are particularly well suited to long-distance tourists, and have their greatest advantage in hot weather, because they are porous and able to breathe, unlike plastic saddles which have closed-cell foam (also known as " gel ") as a cushion. This type of saddle requires care and careful breaking in, but when this is done the classic leather saddle moulds itself to fit the particular anatomical shape of its rider. This accessory includes a longer than normal bolt, and is primarily used for mounting wider Brooks leather saddles, such as the B-72 and B-66. www.sheldonbrown.com /gloss_sa-o.html   (1061 words)

BICYCLE - LoveToKnow Article on BICYCLE Gear and Crank-len gth.The gear of a bicycle is given by the formula Dn,/n2 where D is the diameter of the driving wheel in inches, n1 and ni the numbers of teeth on the crank-axle and hub chain-wheels respectively. The chain being at the right-hand side of the bicycle (as the rider is seated) the driving pull of the chain tends to screw the chain-wheel tight against the shoulder. The pedal pressure is applied at a considerable distance from the central plane of the bicycle, and the pedal pin, cranks and crank-axle are subjected to a bending moment which is transmitted by the ball bearings to the frame. 36.1911encyclopedia.org /B/BI/BICYCLE.htm   (6404 words)

Upright bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An upright bicycle is a bicycle on which the rider sits astride the saddle and stands on the pedals; this is the type most commonly seen.

Bicycle Fork Damage During Deceleration The reaction of the upward force from the bicycle's saddle to the cyclist's body is an equal downward force between the front wheel and the road. The fork blades were bent backwards several inches and three adjacent spokes on the left side of the front wheel were bent inwards, towards the centerplane of the bicycle, in gentle curves. Since the front fork blades are sufficiently strong to lift the bicycle and rider through a couple applied to the front axle and the brake mounting bolt, no damage is done to the bicycle by this action. www.johnforester.com /Articles/BicycleEng/forkbend.htm   (696 words)

Recumbent Bicycles - Pros and Cons The standard "diamond frame" bicycle design evolved over time from basically a "horse with wheels" (hence the seat is called a saddle) and the design is a result of that heritage. Recumbents can be purchased for as little as $350 (US.) Good recumbents are now available from $650 (US) like the BikeE or Linear Mach III or high performance recumbents such as the Vision or Rans recumbents for around $2,000. Falling on a recumbent is almost a non-event as the distance to the ground is so short and the seat frame fully protects you. www.hpv.on.ca /recumb.htm   (1622 words)

ABS Sports Riding on an ordinary bicycle saddle is like straddling a fence, with much of your body weight bearing down uncomfortably on a small area. Imbedded arteries are being compressed, perhaps even crushed, which could result in numbness, pressure on the perineum urethra and could even cause or contribute to other causes of impotency. It rolls around the rim with ease and has no sharp edges to pinch or damage the inner tube. www.abs-sports.com   (1622 words)

Pre-Chopper History Page1 Huffy is an American bicycle company based on the west coast, and rumour has it that they tried the polo saddle/apehanger combination on a 20 inch bike in 1962. No one knows whether it was a reject polo bike that got the treatment, or whether it was a purpose built chopper bicycle, but the fact remains that some unknown Californian kids back in the very early 1960s produced, in their back yards, the first bicycle to bear the name 'Chopper'. Now, bicycle polo never really caught on (surprised?) but Pearsons persevered with the solo polo seat, trying to sell it through cycle accessory shops. homepage.ntlworld.com /catfoodrob/choppers/history/history9.html   (712 words)

NCDOT Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation (8) — 'Restraining seat' means a seat separate from the saddle seat of the operator of the bicycle that is fastened securely to the frame of the bicycle and is adequately equipped to restrain the passenger in such seat and protect such passenger from the moving parts of the bicycle.

Militarvelo: October 2004 The front brake is a block of rubber pressed down onto the tire by a lever, the saddle is highly sprung leather, and the unladen bicycle approaches fifty pounds. It is a purpose-built utility, not a hybrid with fenders and rack attached as an afterthought. While not as well-known as the strange "EZ Boarding" series, this is an excellent utility bicycle. militarvelo.blogspot.com /2004_10_01_militarvelo_archive.html   (1021 words)

Upright Bicycle Impotence One was Ed Pavelka of Bicycling magazine, who recounted in a recent article that years of marathon riding had left him "as soft as overcooked rigatoni" Several companies sell padded, oversized saddles intended to reduce the pressure of the perineum, but Goldstein advises men to stop riding altogether until a seat is proven safe. Overall, this urologist estimates there are about 100,000 men who have lost the ability to get or maintain satisfactory erections because of penile damage inflicted by either the bike's top tube or its saddle. Goldstein treats six men a week on average, whom, he says, have become impotent from riding a bicycle. www.bikeroute.com /Recumbents/Bent-Impotence.html   (1021 words)

onReligion.com: The saga of the recumbent and the rollers And sitting for very long on a bicycle saddle can get rather uncomfortable. And as I was sitting on my upright bicycle on the rollers, wrapping up a 90-minute bicycle ride, I remembered just how comfortable it can be to sit in the seat of a recumbent bicycle, especially when one compares it to sitting on a more traditional seat on an upright bicycle. I purchased my recumbent about two and a half years ago when I was convinced that back problems would keep me from riding long distances on an upright bicycle. www.onreligion.com /article.php?story=20031109220931624&mode=print   (1021 words)

Home/News For those not familiar with recumbents, these bicycles have an extremely comfortable, lightweight "chair" to sit on instead of a painful, narrow saddle.

Headset (bicycle part) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bicycle racers seeking the greatest amount of saddle-to-handlebar drop for better aerodynamics will often forgo spacers and cut the steerer tube down to match the headset bearing cup stack height in addition to the stem stack height. The headset is the component on a bicycle which provides a rotatable interface between the bicycle fork and the bicycle frame itself. Traditional bicycle head tubes and headsets are sized for a 1 inch diameter steerer tube. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Headset_(bicycle_part)   (582 words)
