BIKE OPTIMAL


This summer I'm forced to ride on a cruiser style bike with one speed. The reason in the beginning was purely aesthetic, but there was also the fact that I hate walking around with all the tools needed to repair a derailleur and brake cables. Mechano equal paranoid sometimes! A bicycle with one gear provides a disadvantage when one is faced with a steep slope or a headwind. This requires that the bike is optimal to offer the least rolling resistance possible.

The following tips apply to all bikes, not just cruisers, to make your trips more pleasant and therefore by extension many more.

1. TIRE PRESSURE: Equip yourself with a floor pump with pressure gauge and check the pressure of your tires regularly. The tubes are porous and you always lose a little air. A tire inflated to the proper pressure makes a difference!
2. Ball bearings: Ball bearings concerned with minimizing the rolling resistance. Check if they are well greased the wheels turning freely to see if they turn without resistance. Made the same test with the pedal by removing the chain and turning the pedals and see if there is no resistance.
3. GREASE YOUR CHAIN: As simple as it sounds, a well lubricated chain can steal energy. Clean and lubricate it regularly.
4. Y'A GMT KEKCHOSE rubbing?: If you have a brake shoe constantly glued to the rim of a wheel, you pedal hard for nothing! Again, turn your wheel to see if the brake shoes do not rub on the rim. Also check if the wheel is installed in the frame. A tire rubbing on the frame is also a huge power robber.
5. THE POSITION OF SEAT: How many times I saw a guy pedaling with the knees that are going to the sides? Too often. That abyss knees and it's not the best way to pedal. Adjust your seat to the proper height. Place your heel on the pedal qui pointe vers le bas. Si votre jambe est droite, vous êtes bons. Sinon, c'est trop bas ou trop haut.
6. UTILISEZ VOS VITESSES!: Si vous en avez, utilisez les. Le gros engrenage en avant sur le pédalier va détruire vos genoux si vous êtes toujours dessus. À moins d'être un super athlète, évitez ce genre de chose et apprenez à utiliser vos vitesses.
7. METTRE VOTRE VÉLO À LA DIÈTE: Si vous avez des bidules inutiles sur votre vélo, enlevez les. Vous êtes la seule chose à propulser votre bécane et chaque gramme compte. Un vélo trop lourd se fera sentir dans les grosses pentes en montant et les vents de face. Le seul avantage d'un vélo lourd c'est lorsqu'on downhill.

Maintaining your bike is more than just preserve it, it also helps make your trips more enjoyable. A bike is more fun to drive, the more you use.

Till next time.

SURVIVING THE TOUR DE L'ILE DE MONTREAL MONTREAL CRITICAL MASS

For the third consecutive year, I participated in the Tour of the island of Montreal as a volunteer mechanic on the circuit. I have already worked as a mechanic in the relays for 5 years in the 90s, but I prefer this way to participate in the event. This year's edition was very nice compared to last year. The chosen route in 2006 was absolutely atrocious. One would think that the organizers were given the task of finding the worst streets of Montreal for an organized tour of potholes and railroad crossing!

Departure

This year the route chosen was perfect. This is only my humble opinion, but make a detour package in the small streets to a highway pleasing to the eye is not a simple thing with 30,000 cyclists in the ride. A path was clear and simple, I think, an excellent choice.

My lap Island

My challenge this year was twofold. First I drove for the first time without my faithful apprentice. My son was another activity that has prevented him from participating this year. My second challenge was to impose on me to ride in the Tour with a bike with one speed coaster brake, the brake pedal famous! Mission accomplished but with a few more lessons. A bicycle equipped with single rear wheel brake application to be poorly lit and not awake because you have to make an appointment to brake. It is not instantaneous the trick! With eyes wide open, I noticed some things.

My Bike

People are unconscious!

There I am very polite, PCQ is not what I meant! Well it's not for everyone either, but there were many who rolled in does not care about other cyclists. The fact that the street be closed to cars gives a false sense of security and people drive by changing the "way" without looking, decided to stop in the middle of the road or instantly pass from one side of the street to another without realizing the enormous train rider behind, beside and in front of them. This is without counting the idiots who decide to do the slalom at high speed in the rolling mass. My advice to you is to always rode ahead, behind or directly at side of another rider. Do you ever placed at an angle, placing you in the dead of the person before you. Always, but always look beside you before you pack it. If you bring your child with you to make the Tour, called them to ride in a straight line and not zigzagging. I saw a person collapsing to the ground before me following a maneuver of the kind executed by a young cyclist.

Keep your ears open

Volunteers on the course must sometimes give verbal guidance to cyclists in order to properly direct them, with you they speak. Listen carefully and follow the instructions.

Relays

I have no information you provide on the relays. I avoid them like the plague! Too many people and I do not want to wait in line half an hour for a Cossin for free. On the subject by cons I have an opinion on the first relay of the 2007 Tour. The first relay was located down a slope and there were volunteers who indicated that "Under the baton keep left, keep right to continue". Small detail, there were only 3 meters to take this decision while everyone was moving at a brisk pace! I ask the organizers on behalf of Heaven indications place well in advance next time.

Prepare your bike and your legs in advance.

It is important for you to repair and ride your bike a few weeks before the Tour. This will also help your legs. :) Do you not to add accessories or make major repairs on your bike the day before the Tour. Test your equipment well in advance. Bring with you the tubes, there is no guarantee that your mechanics will scale with them. By cons, he will gladly repair your flat tire.

The mechanics

Volunteers

Or rather bénévélos. Quite simply, without them no tour of the island. Congratulations to you all for a great job.

The Tour de l'Île de Montréal a fantastic event and very well-organized. You must attend at least once in your life. But remember, be careful and vigilant so that this day is an enjoyable experience from beginning to end. At the next
