"Bi" means two, and "cycle" means a full-circle or revolution -as in the wheels. Thus, the contraption with 2 wheels going aroundwas termed"bi-cycle"!

How do you get bicycle?
First off, you need to know what you are going to use your bicycle for. It is just like a car, you could pay $100 for it or $15,000. If you are getting an upper end bike… you probably want to get fitted first to find out what size bike you need. Then go to one of the deal sites out there and find the lowest price on the bike you want. You also want to stick to a more common brand of parts like campagnolo, shimano, sram or similar so you can get replacement parts later. I prefer carbon bikes for stiffness but if you are not going to race steel or aluminum are great too and more comfortable. An example of a deal site would be: http://www.slickbikes.com An example of a fitting machine would be http://www.exit-cycling.com You can probably find a fitter in your area that has one of those machines. Good luck (MORE)

How do you convert a bicycle to a stationary bicycle?
You can buy something called a "trainer", which attaches to the rear wheel and lifts it off the ground. With that, and a phone book under the front wheel to get the bike level… you're all set to use the bike as a stationary bike..
There's also a contraption known as "rollers", where the're is a frame with some rollers in. The rear wheel sits on two rollers and the front on a single roller that's powered by a drive belt running from the rear rollers. This gives a bit more road-like feel to the riding, as it requires you to balance your bike just like on the road. (MORE)

What is the area of a bicycle?
I don't think anyone has a ready answer to that. Luckily most parts of the bike can be approximated as cylindrical, and fairly easily sized - so some quality time with a calcu…lator, a ruler and a bike catalog will give you a nice answer. (MORE)

How is a bicycle wheel joined to a bicycle?
There are a couple of different options: -the wheel has a threaded axle which protrudes on both sides andfits in slots in the dropouts at the end of the fork or reartriangles.… Nuts are threaded onto the axle ends and screwed downuntil they clamp the wheel in place. -The wheel has a hollow axle that protrudes just a tiny bit on bothsides of the wheel. It fits just like above, but then there's askewer that goes through the hollow axle. On one end of the skewerthere's a tensioning lever and on the other there's a threaded nut.First the nut is done up finger tight then the tensioning lever isused to really lock the wheel in place. -the wheel has an unthreaded axle that protrudes quite a bit, andis held in place by wraparound clamps at the dropouts.

What does a bicycle do?
A bicycle provides a method of human powered transportation so a person can travel on wheels. The person must learn to balance on the device, steer, and work the pedals. It ha…s two wheels, a front wheel and a rear wheel. The pedals are connected by a chain to the rear wheel. When the rider works the pedals with his feet, the rear wheel goes around. It pushes against the pavement which makes the bicycle go forward. The wheels also have a fairly large diameter, an important feature. That enables them to work as gyroscopes. Like any other gyroscope, as long as they are in motion, they tend to remain in the same plane. That helps keep the bicycle upright. Thus, a bicycle in motion does not tend to fall over. The size of the wheels have been determined by experiments over the years. Larger wheels would make the bicycle more stable but would make the bicycle harder to push. Smaller wheels would be less expensive but would make the bicycle less stable. (MORE)
