I want a fast pocket bike?

guitar man

looks dont count, color, gadgets i dont care i want a pocket bike to go fast. and as cheap as possible

Answer
pocket bikes are the worst thing to buy they usually break within a week i had one and the whole thing snapped in half and the motor blew up and that was 400 dollars i didnt even bother trying to fix it and they are very hard to control since they are so small.

measure the distance on bike?

CARISSA D

I am new to bicycling, and was wondering if there was an inexpencive gadget that measures the ditance you ride, miles. I know there are things like that for walking, can anyone help?

Answer
Go to any bike shop or on-line bike retailer and look for "bike computers". Your basic models will be in the 20-30 dollar range and display current, average, and high speed along with distance. More expensive units will have more features and have a wireless sensor. Set-up and installation is not very difficult, but if you are not mechanically inclined, you may benefit from buying one at a bike shop. They will likely install it for free or at least let you do it there in case you have a problem. The only tricky thing is making sure you calibrate the computer to the correct wheel size. All this would be listed in the instructions though.

Best bike for adult female?

Naztazia

I haven't riden a bike (the kind you pedal) in like 15 years - I'm 34 now. My old "10 speed" (do they still call them that anymore?) needs major work, so I figure it's time for a new bike. I'm overwhelmed. What kind of bike should I get - I'm female, good leg muscles, just plan on riding each day for about an hour or two mainly on back roads and some minor "off road" for fun. I don't need anything with fancy gadgets, and my husband is a vehicle lighting expert, so I don't need lights on it out of the box (he'll take care of that). I sort of don't care about price, but I don't want a Cadillac type. Links to the specific bikes you recommend are appreciated.

How can I communicate with a passenger on my motorcycle? Are there intercoms or similar devices to use?

good bike gadgets image

stix767

What type of communication gadgets are out there for rider to passenger communication?

Answer
There are communication devices my motorcycle club uses them on long trips. These devices allow us to talk to other bikes or our passenger and our passenger has the ability to talk to everyone also.
These devices are on the baby minder frequency so there is not allot of chatter on the frequency unless there are a lot of them in a town that you may be going through. These came in quite handy on our trip to Canada and then when we dropped down into yellowstone park I keyed the mike and told everyone the history of the park as I knew it.
These are wired into your helmet and there is a speaker and microphone, with either vox activation or a push to talk button mounted on your handlebars. I would recommend push to talk as the vox can be activated by the wind noise.

How can I lose 15 pounds in about two months?

Baby Badge

I am 14, and weigh 137 lbs. I want to be below 130, by summer, and I have no idea how to do it. I hate running, and I love to bike. I biked over 23 miles over this past weekend, and didn't lose a pound. I am eating less, but only at school, because my mom would kill me if i didn't eat at home. I am pretty desperate to lose this weight. I hate it, and want it gone. Please, any suggestions would be appreciated!(:
I excercise daily, for about an hour.

Answer
How can I lose 15 pounds in about two months?

1. Eat less. Eat three balanced meals and three nutritious snacks every day.

2. Walk more - aim for at least 10,000 steps a day, which is about 5 miles - a pedometer is an inexpensive gadget that will help you with this.

3. Drink a lot of water - at least 8 big glasses a day.

4. Begin a weight lifting program.

5. Record what you eat and your exercise so that you know there is a "calorie deficit" - that you have burned off more than you took in.

What's a fun/useful bike accessory for a serious cyclist who already has safety equipment and water mugs?

good bike gadgets image

Michelle

I'm looking for a gift for my dad who loves to ride his bike, he does the DALMAC every year, is over 60 years old and rides for fun and to stay fit.

Answer
If he's into gadgets, look into cyclo computers or GPS attachments that allow him to track and save his data to a PC. Garmin makes a good unit for this
Lights are always good.
And any accessory that is carbon fiber is always a plus (bottle cages, handlebars, stems, seatposts, etc.)
you could always get him a rear rack and some panniers to encourage him to bring more stuff with him.

My sister got me a clock made from an old bicycle chainring from resourcerevival.com
My father is also an avid cyclist and one year I got him a training book called "Cycling past 50."

Gadget for the blind to alert them if they is too near something?

Dark A

I would like to know if there are any gadgets out there that alerts the blind if they are too close to something.

I know this is the function of the white stick that they use. However, if such a gadget is created, what are the uses of it (in comparison to the white stick)?

So two questions:
1. Is there such a gadget?
2. What are they uses of it?

Answer
I did see a show once and they had a clicking device and they used it as a echolocation device. On the show they had a few blind people demonstrate that they could ride a bike. You may be able to look that up.

Which type of Exercise Bike is the best?

good bike gadgets image

Jim

I definitely prefer an upright bike over a recumbent one, simply because the latter is for lazy snobs. I've seen bikes with electronic controls and bikes with mechanical ones, and I wonder what type of features the electronic ones have? Which ones are more lasting and feel smoother?

Answer
electronic ones are a more high tech than manual ones of course.
the electronic ones, can set different resistance for you, and it has different types of workout plans digitally installed in its programs. It also tells your heart rate, distance, and speed.

Manual ones though, will hold up better over time, since they don't use all these fancy gadgets. Just pedal and go, and thats all about it.

I recommend getting an electric one if you can, but if you are on a budget, a manual one will do fine also.

how does the bike speedometer computer work?

When cyclists attach the 'bike computer' gadget to see the speed, distance, time, etc, how does the determining speed part work?

Answer
In the case of Cateye brand, it works quite well.

It's part math, part science. Mostly D = R x T (and the variants). Being binary they don't know much, just 0 and 1 but they add them up really fast. It counts revolutions of your wheel and does all the math and spits out a digital reading.
