I was thinking sort of like a 49cc or 47cc. Which brand is best? Giovanni or…? Are the dirt bike type ones better or are the street racing looking ones better? My son wants one. Help please.

Ask Yourself These Questions When Shopping For Cycling Jerseys
Filed Under pocket bikes | Comments Off
A.Caxton asked:
Runners can run in nearly any clothing as long as they have running shoes, but bicyclists practically require the highly specialized apparel of their sport.Even casual bike riders will benefit hugely in comfort, speed, safety and satisfaction if they don cycling clothing.Your bicycle itself may demand cycling shoes and your first experience with the chafing and pounding of a bike seat may convince you to wear cycling shorts, but you should also, less obviously, ride in a cycling jersey.
Cycling jerseys will not significantly add to your speed or safety, but they will definitely enhance your total riding experience in several ways.One, they are made to help your body deal with the energy draining impact of wind and weather as you ride.Most cycling jerseys are made of synthetic fabrics that will allow your body to perspire and wick the resultant moisture efficiently from the surface of your skin.Some of today’s miracle fabrics, though lightweight as can be, also work powerfully to repel water and resist wind.Combined with the fact that zippered jerseys can be easily opened or closed in the front to allow or discourage air venting, cycling jerseys add enormously to the bicyclist’s ability to withstand variations in weather conditions.
What is most cherished by riders about cycling jerseys, though, is simpler.It’s the famous back pocket, standard and requisite equipment of any jersey.Whether you are a touring rider, a mountain maniac, or a road racer, the back pocket of your jersey is what Mama Kangaroo’s front pocket is to her joey: Life. In this pocket, you will stash energy bars, goo packets, maybe bee pollen.This is your basic on-bike sustenance kit.Into this seemingly endless storage chamber, you will stuff the gloves you no longer need now that the sun’s come out, and even the cell phone prudent cyclists carry (for safety, not for idle chatter).Your litter should also be stuffed into this pocket as you consume food.It is amazing what all goes into this pocket, and all without significantly impacting the efficiency of your cycling.
So go ahead.Wear a jersey.Wear it as gaudily as you like. Gaudiness and its companion brilliance, are your birthright as a bicyclist!

Your Wellbeing On Holiday This Summer
Filed Under pocket bikes | Comments Off
Shaun Parker asked:
We all look forward to our holidays, time spent with family relaxing or simply getting away and recharging the batteries, lazing around getting a tan before getting back to the everyday grind of the workplace. Sounds like the perfect break to me, or does it? With today’s focus being on healthier lifestyles and exercise it makes me think why not look for a change?
Having kept in a comfort zone of beach holidays and sticking to what I know it was a challenge to find something a little different bearing in mind it had to be family orientated, something that will appeal to my children too? Only having one holiday abroad per year like most families we would want something that we would all enjoy and remember. That’s when I thought about what we need out of a holiday?
When we go on a beach holiday, we spend the majority of the time swimming, biking or lounging about, then in the evening strolling round the local area, sampling the local cuisine. When we holiday in England we take our bikes, fishing rods and swimming costumes and do pretty much the same. That’s when I decided that an activity holiday would cater for all.
Not quite knowing where to start I searched for activity holidays and to my surprise stumbled upon ski holidays. I thought that ski holidays were simply that? Never having been skiing myself it didn’t appeal to me to spend my whole week learning to ski, but there is so much more to these holidays than meets the eye.
Ski resorts during the summer season don’t always have the amount of snow to offer purely ski holidays and therefore offer Activity holidays or Healthier holidays as an alternative. The Alps are fast becoming the ‘place to be’ for summer activity holiday makers and people seeking something a bit different to occupy their precious time away, very much aiming their holidays at families too both for families with young children with creches and child minding services to families with older children who want to be in the thick of the activities.
I found that Ski resorts are now adopting a summer mountain and active pursuits programme with a vengeance, and especially with a view to bolstering the ski season. Ski lifts turn into ‘up lifts’ for mountain bikers and walkers, and ski hire shops turn into bike hire and hiking shops as the summer takes a grip.
Mounting biking is not the only activity these holidays offer, climbing, hill walking, white water rafting, sailing and other water sports that are suitable for all ages and abilities if youre brave enough to try something different!
However for those of us who still want to retain an element of relaxation it must be remembered that activity holidays can be relaxing too, perhaps a spot of tennis and a relaxing swim, lunch in a mountain restaurant or a spot of shopping in the boutique style shops, whilst the rest of the family hits the piste, then regrouping in the evening to experience the diverse range of cafe culture, bars, restaurants and stunning sights to see sampling the local cuisine and entertainment.
Once the decision had been made I then turned my attention to accommodation. Ski Chalets, chalet style bungalows, hotels, I was spoilt for choice the accommodation suited all size groups solo travelers to groups of 25 plus, so as you can imagine a family of five was no problem. Self catering or catered? all inclusive or budget accommodation? There was something on offer to suit all pockets, all inclusive packages could be booked which included flights, transfers and an Activity rep to meet and greet. How much easier could it get?
A wide selection of French Resorts including Chamonix, Morzine, les Gets and Tignes to choose from and each offering similar holidays in the fresh mountain air of the Alps, avoiding package holiday makers and tourists, all that was left was to book.
We booked our holiday with Alpine Elements who offer winter ski holidays or summer activity holidays, it was simple. We had a self catering chalet, but still ate out on occasion tasting the delights of the local cuisine, we tried as many of the activities and outdoor pursuits as we could fit into our holiday.
We sampled the bars and cafes and yes I indulged in a bit of shopping and we still came back with a tan! I would recommend activity holidays to anyone especially those with children. We had a great time and came back with lots of memories. I would definitely go again, but don’t just take my word for it, try it yourself, you never know!

Important Pocket Bike Laws
Filed Under pocket bikes | Comments Off
nlwest21 asked:
Mini pocket bikes have become all the rage in all parts of the world. What started out as a hobby in Japan soon became an obsession in other parts of the world. Before you knew it people everywhere were trying to get their hands on these mini motorcycles to race or purely to have fun.
They are obviously tons of fun - but keep in mind that they are still motorized vehicles and as we all know when you own vehicles you have to abide by certain laws. Not many people know that pocket bikes are so popular that law enforcement agencies have created specific laws that must be followed.
Individual states and sometimes cities have created their own laws for how to operate a pocket bike. These laws may vary from state to state or city to city. Before you take your pocket bike out on the road it is important that you call or visit your local law enforcement agency or DMV to learn what those laws are.
Also keep in mind that the helmet you purchase to wear while riding your pocket bike has to meet special guidelines in your area. Certain places may require that it matches requirements created by ANSI, Snell, or DOT certification standards.
Please make sure that you wear all of the necessary safety gear and you follow all the laws. I know that many of us love to break the laws and test our limits - but they were created to keep not only you safe - but those around you. They can help protect you during a pocket bike crash and keep you from hurting bystanders around you.
