 Bike Safety
A bike is the right size when your child can sit on the seat with his or her feet flat on the ground, the handlebar no higher than your little one's shoulders.
Remember that three out of four bike accidents involve an injury to the head, and a crash could mean permanent brain damage or death for a child who doesn't wear one while riding.
You may not be able to keep your child from having the same accidents, but it's up to you to pass your knowledge and experience down to your child as he or she learns to ride.

 Sinclair's Folding A-Bike - Gizmodo
Sir Clive Sinclair, inventor of the pocket calculator and the nigh-on-legendary Sinclair personal computer, has unveiled a new, folding bicycle design he's calling the 'A-Bike.' To be launched in 2005, the 12-pound bike can be folded and unfolded in around 20 seconds and rides on tiny, air-filled tires.
The idea is (if it weren't obvious) to provide a cheapish alternative to full-sized bikes that can be folded up and taken with you wherever you go, although the $300 price is considerable more than it would cost to purchase a capable, if basic, street bicycle and chain.
Portable urban transportation is one of my new pet pastimes, and the A-bike would be much easier to recharge than the electric scooters I've been eyeing (they sell pizza almost everywhere).

 How To Fit Your Custom Bicycle
Mountain bikes generally get cranks 2.5—5mm longer than road bikes; that is, you might want a 175mm crank on your mountain bike if you’re set up with a 172.5 on your road bike.
One of the objections your local shop may have to your purchasing a bike through the mail is that it cannot be fitted correctly.
We guarantee the fit of your new bike with this simple promise: After you've ridden your new bike for a few days, let us know if you need to swap out the bar or stem, or make other adjustments, and we'll make it right for you.
