Single-speed bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Historically, all bicycles were single speed bicycles, specifically fixed-gear single speed bicycles that had no mechanism to vary the gear ratio or to allow the pedals to coast while the drive wheel moved. However, mountain bicycles, road bicycles, cyclocross bicycles, and hybrid bicycles can be made as or changed into a single speed. Currently many major companies design and market single speed bicycles. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Single-speed_bicycle   (841 words)

Dropout (bicycle part) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An older multi-speed bicycle such as this can be readily converted into an inexpensive fixed gear bicycle. A bicycle dropout is a slot in a frame or fork where the axle of the wheel is attached. They are also fairly common on older derailleur bicycles. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dropout_(bicycle_part)   (148 words)

Bicycle Backlash in Boston and Unionization Bicycle messengers are subcontractors to the delivery companies that hire them; this means that when a messenger is not carrying a package he or she is not a messenger. Bicycle messengers are a hybrid of the two drinking traditions; they are working class youth and consequently enjoy a pint or two or three with their friends after work. Aluminum bicycles are less comfortable to ride on bumpy city streets because the road shock (bumps in the road which pass through the bike as energy) is not absorbed by the frame, so a rider's bum tends to get sore if the road is not smooth. www.bikesummer.org /1999/results/bostonMessengers.htm   (18564 words)

Singlespeed.Net - Networking Single Speed Riders Worldwide Don is a local legend in the Salida cycling crowd; his single speed, 29" wheel bikes are known for their distinctive antique appearance, based on the style of bicycles from the early nineteen hundreds -- but get them on a single track trail in the mountains of Central Colorado, and they really rip. A single speed bike has one gear, and is considered harder to ride in some ways than your typical geared bike which allows you to shift to different gears to handle hills. Although single speed mountain bikes are becoming increasingly popular, they are still considered a niche market by frame builders, and titanium is a boutique metal in an industry that still builds predominantly steel bikes. www.singlespeed.net   (1539 words)

Cruiser bicycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A cruiser bicycle is a bicycle designed for riding on roads and paths in comfort and style over performance. Cruisers have either a single gear or simple and minimal gearing, often through hub gearing. Shock absorbers are common, both on the wheels and on the seat post. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cruiser_bicycle   (187 words)

Bikecentennial 1976 report - Bicycle equipment, parts and accessories The handlebar-mounted mirrors are not popular among bicycle tourists due to their ineffectiveness due to vibration, difficulty of adjustment, weight, and potential of being brushed by an overtaking auto. It is recommended that bicycle touring equipment such as packs and handlebar bags be manufactured in bright colors, such as yellow, orange, or red. In order to enjoy a bicycle to the fullest extent and with the greatest safety, the rider must have at least some basic knowledge of the mechanical principles required to keep a bike well maintained. www.bikexprt.com /research/bikecentennial/p63equipment.htm   (1674 words)

archive-04172005-04232005.html High speed, dodging in and out of the bigger trees, plowing through rocks, arms starting to feel it as the minutes tick away on the descent, soon I'm alone, Ricky had been on my wheel but he's gone now. The scene repeats itself over and over with the occasional leaf pile completely obscuring the trail in some places, leaving you with no choice to blast through them and hope nothing fatal is hidden beneath since a rock could shoot you off the trail and down the mountain. Probably not, they would be worried about navigating their own ass down the trail and would never see or hear me. Luckily I don't have to find out. www.singlespeedoutlaw.com /archives/archive-04172005-04232005.html   (1420 words)

Singlespeed Bicycle Conversions The cheapest way to convert a multi-speed bicycle into a singlespeed is to use the original rear hub, assuming that it is made for a conventional threaded freewheel. While the single gear ratio will not be the "perfect" gear ratio for all conditions, in the conditions which fit the single gear, it is considerably more efficient mechanically than the drive train of a derailer bike. Modern 24-27 speed bikes are marvels of technology, and allow a cyclist to select the gear ratio that will make the most efficient use of his/her energy. www.sheldonbrown.com /singlespeed.html   (3673 words)

I remember when eight speed cassettes came out and I was still on a seven speed, I thought I was at a huge disadvantage.

John Stated on mtbike.mountainzone.com I have to laugh because I am riding a single speed bicycle — there are so few moving parts that it is almost impossible for anything to go wrong.

I readjust the wheel and continue on the trail. mtbike.mountainzone.com /2000/stamstad/html/moab1.html   (170 words)

Bicycles The first bicycle wheels were from a horse drawn cart, made of wood with a metal band round the bicycle rim, very hard and very uncomfortable to ride. The bicycle rim, like the bicycle frame hasn't changed much in design, its still round and always will be. There are also two types of rim to consider and this depends on which kind of tire you want to use, first there are tubular tires these are glued on to the bicycle rim, cost more and are difficult to repair after a puncture, but for racing they feel and ride wonderfully. www.bicycle-questions.com /single-speed-bicycle.htm   (379 words)
