For riding in the rain

Ride slow : The roads are slippery so riding slow will allow you more time to negotiate traffic and brake effectively

Brake slow : Hard braking will lock up the wheels easily. Be gentle on the brakes and learn to anticipate stopping points. Go easy on the front brake. Use engine braking as much as possible.

Light up : Keep parking lights on even during the daytime so that people can see you effectively. Always keep the lights on low beam as light gets reflected back from raindrops reducing visibility further.

Always carry adequate polyethene bags : Wrap stuff like mobile phones, iPods and wallets in polyethene bags before you begin your journey. You should always keep the handkerchiefs in the plastic bag as it should remain dry so you can use it once you get to your destination. No one likes a squishy piece of cloth in their pocket all day long.

Road grip : If your tyre is old, or you are facing big issues with road grip, a temporary solution is to lower the tyre pressure slightly (2-3 psi will do) to get better grip till you can replace the tyre.

Clear vision : If your helmet visor does not have anti-fog capabilities, then you should keep it open slightly to maintain the best vision possible. If you still have issues, wear a balaclava and open the visor fully. The balaclava will ease the pain caused by rain drops while riding at high speeds.

Take off the glasses : Specs can also cause vision problems. In most cases, you vision will improve if you take them off.

Wear more clothes : Covering up your arms and legs is a good idea as it prevents the rain drops from hitting the body directly. High speed raindrops are painful.

Wear gloves : You wet hands can lose grip on the handlebars. Wear gloves to make sure you retain control of the bike.

Watch out for hail-storms : Look for shelter at the first sign of a hail-storm, and not a tree on the side of the road. For hail-storms, you need a strong structure to protect you and your bike. It should be wide enough to prevent any harm from any direction. Petrol pumps are a good place or any concrete structure will probably be fine.

Maintain distance from the vehicle in front : Not only will it help you brake effectively, it will also minimize the dirt spray on your helmet and clothes.

Toll booth : When I used to ride to Noida, I kept a Rs. 10 note in pocket to pay the DND toll guys. In rains, I always switched to coins.

Rain protectors : I’ve seen people riding air-cooled bikes with a large cardboard just in front of the engine to prevent their trousers from getting dirty. This can harm the engine. Carry the ‘work bag’ if arriving clean is important.

For riding a bike to work in rainy season

Carry a bag : I can’t stress this enough. You rode to work, fine, but you can’t roam around wet and dirty all day. Period. The contents of the bag are at the bottom of the post.

Leave early : As soon as it starts to rain, traffic starts to slow down and pile up. Most people who ride a bike to work regularly, switch to cars in rains decreasing the space available on the road. Always leave early for work in the rainy season. Your boss might not say anything for the first few times, but he will scream if this continues.

Contents of the ‘ride to work’ bag :

Work clothes : In monsoons, do not ride to work wearing your work clothes as it might start raining anytime. Keep them in the bag and change them when you get to the loo at work (the first place you will go if it does rain). This includes undergarments, socks, shoes and tie as well.

A comb : Rain wets your hair even when you have worn a helmet. It might wet your hair after you take it off. Do not underestimate the importance of the comb, especially true for those perusing interests of the female kind at work.

This guide is not complete, but with your inputs we can complete it.

Happy Biking !!

Pocket bikes are becoming all the rage and as summer advances that movement will reach all new highs. Everyone is ready to enjoy their summer and find something different and stimulating to contribute to their life. Racing or merely playing around on these tiny bikes are a good method to do this.

If you have not owned a pocket bike then there are a couple of things to remember. You want to be made aware of the safety regulations that are involved and the laws that you must abide by. These have been created to keep people safe and sound.

Laws

Before buying a bike ensure that you have the ability to utilise it in your city. Each state and sometimes every city has created specific laws for individuals who have these bikes. They might be small gizmos and appear harmless - but they are still motorized vehicles and as such need to have detailed guidelines that must be observed at all times. You can find out about the laws in your area by getting hold of your local police department or DMV.

Safety Rules

Pocket bike safety is very critical specially if you are going to allow your teenagers to utilise it. It is recognized that kids below the age of twelve should never ride these. Any kids that are older should be supervised. This will assist to avoid any accidents.

The most essential rule to observe in the safety handbook is to buy the required safety gear. This gear includes helmets, gloves, and all the things you would commonly wear when riding your bike. This protects you in case of an accident or if you fall down for any reason.

Breaking New Ones In

Each new pocket bike must go through a transition that has been nicknamed the ‘breaking-in process’. During this process you are setting up the engine and allowing it to set to being used. This does not require to be done with used models. Your producer can give you bit by bit instructions on how to execute this procedure.

Pit bikes have developed seriously across the years, they were first built with four stroke engines which typically came out of yard apparatus like lawn mowers. However today you are much more likely to see a 2 stroke bike which has been designed to look the same as the bigger bikes available today. Mini pit bikes were first made by fans using spare parts which were discovered in their garage.

The recognition of these pit bikesquickly grew and firms started to provide these bikes to sell to a growing market. The initial mini bike firms which were set up to sell these mini bikes were firms like Rupp, Arctic Cat and Fox. It is from these early designs that all of the categories of mini bikes were developed. Firstly the pocket bike / Minamoto was made, these are little racing duplicates of GP bikes. Pit bikes have also been made of the first designs, these now look like pit bikes and are far more sometimes being employed in contests. Also chopper mini bikes have been made, these are scaled down versions of bigger chopper bikes including duplicates of Harley Davidson choppers.

Pit bikes come in countless different sizes from 49cc pit bikes all the way up to 250cc pit bikes with the 50cc pit bike being one of the more favored sizes for non racing. With speeds of over sixty 5 miles per hour, pit bikes are an exciting rush especially since you are so close the ground.

Gas pit bikes come in two main types : two stroke or four stroke. Also they are slower in comparison to gas powered pocket dirt bikes over 100cc.

Both electrical and gas pit bikes are designed with superb handling and acceleration to mind, which in turn makes them excellent for tight racing courses and dust tracks. Neither gas or electrical pit bikes aren’t sometimes advocated for street use and in several places aren’t street legal.

pit pocket bikes are now more favored than ever, with thousands of new models being purchased yearly .

Like many sports, professional bicyclists wear a self-fashioned uniform consisting of a cycling jersey, cycling shorts, cycling shoes, gloves and a helmet. When you hear the word cycling, most people conjure up an image of Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France. He wears the traditional cycling uniform.

The cycling jersey is fashioned using prominent colors from the cycling event, like the yellow jersey from the Tour de France, or from the cyclist corporate sponsor, like the famous teal Bianchi racing team. The jersey is longer in the back than in the front and fits snuggly to offer air resistance. It is made from quick-drying, lightweight, polyester material. In addition, pockets have been placed on the back of the jersey for easy access.

The cycling shorts are often referred to as bike shorts. The padded portion of the shorts is called the chamois. Certain shorts are referred to as bib shorts. These shorts actually have suspender like shoulder straps that help hold them in place. Most people wear cycling shorts without underwear, so some shorts are treated with an anti-bacterial matter and others with a moisturizing lotion to help reduce chaffing. In either case, the shorts themselves are traditionally made from a spandex material.

Originally, cycling shoes were actually affixed to the bicycle pedal. However, today, many cycling shoes attach to the pedal with a cleat on the shoe. The clipless pedal shoe is a stiff-soled shoe that actually clips to the bike pedal. It offers the most energy efficiency. There are two different versions; one for mountain bikes and one for road bikes. The other option is a toe clip. This is actually not a shoe, but a clip that can be attached to any shoe. The toe clip is a more economical method than purchasing clipless pedal shoes.

There are two other accessories that are vital to a cyclist success: gloves and a helmet. The gloves serve several purposes. First, they offer a more stable grip. In addition, they help absorb shock and sweat. Finally, during colder weather they can keep a cyclist hand’s warm or offer skin protection in the event of a fall. The other critical accessory is the helmet. Today?s helmets are shaped to offer maximum aerodynamics while providing a measure of safety for the cyclist. These newer helmets actually cradle the head and can be adjusted to fit snuggly. Unfortunately, these new helmets provide most of the protection toward the front of the helmet so they are not useable for other sports like skateboarding or inline skating.

Professional bicycling outfits are as unique as the cyclist themselves. They offer style, comfort and protection for the cyclist and act as the engine of the rider.

faport asked:


Though cycling involves the entire body in the physical activity, the hands are the ones to control direction and the feet to give power to the movement. Hence, for the body parts that receive most blows from weather and environment elements, the use of cycling gloves is almost compulsive; this means that no equipment is complete without appropriate hand protections. For those who don’t see why cycling gloves are so important, we should mention the fact that the front part of the cycle is the one that absorbs most shocks. At the body level a bump is usually felt in both hands and the butt depending on the speed and the position assumed in riding.

Cycling gloves are gloves designed for cycling. They fulfill three functions: warmth, comfort and protection.

Warmth

Gloves are normally used to keep the hands warm, a function that is chiefly essential when cycling in cold weather. The design of most modern bicycles is such that the rider’s hands remain on the handlebars while cycling, a position that leaves them bare to weather. The hands are also comparatively inactive, and do not have a great deal of muscle mass, which also put in to the possibility of chill. Gloves are therefore fundamental for insulating the hands from cold, wind, and evaporative cooling while riding a bicycle.

Comfort

Cycling places a good deal of stress on the hands, in the form of prolonged pressure against handlebars and transmission of unexpected road shocks through handlebars to the hands. The harshness of discomfort can be alleviated  somewhat by riding position, but is essentially inherent in most designs of upright bicycle. However, choice of weight distribution between the saddle and handlebars is usually determined by other factors, such as aerodynamics, control and long-term comfort. Padded gloves or handlebar grips are therefore useful to increase comfort for a given geometry.

Protection

Putting a hand out to break a fall is a natural reaction. However, the hands are one of the more difficult parts of the body to repair. There is little or no spare skin, and immobilizing the hands sufficiently to promote healing involves significant inconvenience to the patient. So, many cyclists choose to wear gloves all year round to help avoid skin damage in a fall.

Qualities

An improved glove for cyclists is disclosed. The glove comprises a flexible shell including a palm side, an outside, glove fingers and a glove thumb. Resilient padding is permanently secured to the palm side of the glove shell, and extends substantially from the heel of the palm side of the shell toward the glove fingers and across the crotch area between the glove index finger and the glove thumb. The padding comprises an elastomeric layer, a layer of fibrous batting, and an external layer. Sweat from hands can make one’s gloves become unpleasant quite quickly, so it is best to store them so that air can circulate inside if at all possible (for example on a radiator). After a wet or hard ride it may be best to turn them inside-out to dry. Leather gloves can be washed in cool water and are reportedly best dried out on the hands. Gloves should fit snugly but not be tight. Pay particular attention to the length of the fingers as the fingertips can become very cold if the glove’s fingers are not long enough. Ideally the glove should be loose on the fingers and fit comfortably around the palm.

Types of gloves

Fingerless gloves

These gloves are half finger style with cotton knitted back (see through) and leather palm. Padding is very light. Velcro closure for snug fit. All black. Fingerless cycling gloves, also known as track mitts

Winter gloves

Winter gloves tend to be bulkier, perhaps being made in two parts, inner and outer, so that the inner can be washed. They will tend to have longer cuffs, to tuck into jackets and avoid the wrists being chilled,

Mittens

Mittens are good in extreme cold as they allow a single pocket of warm air to form around the fingers. They make use of brakes somewhat awkward

Lobster-claw

Lobster-claw gloves are a relatively recent innovation, halfway between glove and mitten. Two fingers are placed in each of two wide fingers, giving much of the advantage of mittens but making use of brake levers much easier

Weather shield

Weather shields (made by a company called Dry Bike) are small water- and windproof shields that attach to the handlebars and protect the hands from rain and wind. Though not gloves, they serve a similar purpose

Though the choice of weather to wear a pair of gloves or not is entirely yours, most cyclists do appreciate the need to wear some form of protection on their hands. Choosing a pair of gloves to answer your individual style or budget will never be a constraint,. What is important however, is that the pair of gloves you choose should be a quality produce and do its job extremely well in ordinary as well as tough conditions.

The UK housing marketplace is in the sphere of a decline, the overall wealth is declining, and the economic humankind is round of struggles. With so much bad press, it would be present good to maintain a little sort of silver lining to look ahead to. Unfortunately, in the sphere of order in favor of the UK housing marketplace to metamorphose around, several immense measures strength of character maintain to go on, and it could take a little occasion in favor of folks measures to suit evident.

A little could say with the aim of the housing emergency was caused by greed. It is intense to dispute this piece of evidence. Near was a interlude of several years whilst colonize were permissible to borrow far much other money than they may well afford on houses with the aim of were promotion by the side of leaps and bounds beyond their genuine quantity. By the side of a little indicate, it all had to approach roaring down. With the aim of indicate was the summer of 2008.

The UK housing marketplace strength of character bounce back, with the aim of is in favor of a selection of. The question with the aim of everybody wants the answer to is: Whilst strength of character it bounce back? A little economic analysts believe the metamorphose around strength of character occur whilst the banks strength of character start lending money again. While this could appear to be present right, the banks need to execute other than let somebody borrow money. They need to offer products with the aim of suit the needs of the colonize by the side of vocabulary with the aim of are carnival and reasonable. Near are banks lending money in the sphere of the position crunch, but the advance to standards are very low and the restrictions are very high-pitched. Near is a consensus though, with the aim of whilst be more or less colonize are able to locate an acceptable mortgage by the side of their resident save, after that property strength of character set out to move again.

In the sphere of addition to banks lending money recurrently, unemployment strength of character need to stabilize. The same as the position emergency continues, other and other companies maintain to lay colonize inedible or else progress to them disused. Near are at present not sufficient jobs to be had in favor of folks dazed of bring about folks. While nearly everyone sectors are taking a look by the side of their profits and progress to redundancies, the economic industry has been the nearly everyone sternly affected. The government does realize the waves of unemployment and are working to correct the hindrance. They maintain recently enacted a instruct someplace colonize in the sphere of the economic services industry can take a fast track curriculum run to suit a teacher. Credo is single of the hardly any areas in the sphere of the UK with the aim of is still in the sphere of need of workers. By giving the dazed of bring about bankers an opportunity in favor of a career transform in the sphere of a succinct amount of occasion, the government has congeal a first-class instance of how they are willing to help the position emergency approach to an conclusion.

At length, in the sphere of order to metamorphose the UK housing marketplace around, consumer confidence needs to be present raised. Colonize need to feel like the wealth has clash with the substructure, with the aim of if they were to get a farmhouse, it would not sternly decrease in the sphere of quantity shortly thereafter. Colonize need to feel secure in the sphere of their jobs, with no an overwhelming alarm with the aim of they could be present the subsequently single made disused.

If the UK can acquire banks to let somebody borrow money, unemployment to stabilize, and consumer confidence to gradient, after that the UK housing marketplace strength of character be present well on its way back to a better daylight hours. With the government’s stimulus programs seemingly decreasing the things of the UK decline it is predicted with the aim of unemployment ought to stabilise in the sphere of the to hand opportunity and with the aim of banks ought to set out to suit a lesser amount of conservative with regards to issuing mortgages. If these two drivers of property prices take effect soon after that the UK housing marketplace ought to set out to metamorphose around.

So whilst exactly strength of character the gyrate occur in the sphere of the UK property marketplace? The marketplace has made known a little secret language of recovery in the sphere of in the dead of night 2009. The fee of an be more or less property in the sphere of the UK increased year-on-year in favor of the succeeding month in the sphere of a row in the sphere of September, leading many pundits to conclude with the aim of the marketplace has bottomed dazed and has on track to gradient - albeit to some extent.

With unemployment congeal to pike in the sphere of 2010, gain duty predicted to continue historically low until 2011, and property prices already on track to gradient, the UK property marketplace ought to metamorphose around little by little all through 2010, and ought to maintain fully recovered by the side of a little indicate in the sphere of 2011.
