Cycling

It varies each year (scheduled outside of Indiana University home football game weekends....due to the availability of hotel/motel rooms in the area. To see the date and other information, see http://www.hillyhundred.org). This year the date is October 23-25. The actual ride days are the 24th and 25th (doing approximately 50 miles each day with a short cut on at least one of the days. The ride is a rolling celebration of cycling. They register up to 6000 people and another 2 thousand show up and ride without paying (I discourage this as the event will only continue to exist with the income from this ride. At each reststop (they are numerous) there is entertainment, food, and drink.

For use on the public roads/areas YES that is a legal requirement.

Early racing helmets were made out of stuffed leather tubes and looked something like a string of sausages placed in lines over the head. But once the step was made over into Styrofoam helmets design changes have been more down to colors and graphics. Today there are four types with a distinctly different look: 1) Time Trial (TT) and track helmets. Drop shaped with sort of a tail tapering off down the back of the rider. They often have integrated visors and no air vents. They're more about aerodynamics than protection. 2) Full Face or DH helmets. Plenty of padding, some vents and an integrated arch that protrudes in front of the jaw to offer face protection. 3) Dirt/street helmets. Fairly round helmets with a sturdy plastic outer shell. The only kind that'll keep offering decent protection even after a fall. 4) ordinary fitness helmets. Plenty of air vents, no face protection, maybe a small integrated cap. Is meant to be scrapped after any significant fall.

Yes. The chain applies a linear force to the cog on the rear wheel. It pulls it forward when we "go" on the bike. The teeth on the cog, where the linear force is applied, are arranged around the center of rotation of the rear axle. This applies a force to the axle that is "off center" with the axis of rotation of the axle. The axle is perpendicular to the plane of the cog, and this is true. But the actual "pull" of the chain is on the back teeth and the top teeth of the cog. The axle cannot move forward because it is fixed, but the axle can rotate because a good portion of the force applied to it causes it to turn. A bike chain applies torque to the rear wheel. Torque is a momentary force, and in the case of the bike chain, a continuous series of moments of force applied to the rear wheel by the chain turns the rear wheel. Another way to look at the problem is to consider that the feet move up and down (and a little forward and back) on the pedals. The crank and chain ring turn around. The chain moves in a line or displays linear motion, and the rear wheel displays rotary motion. The transition from linear motion to rotary motion applies the idea of torque.

The Tarka trail is great for cycling and covers all abilities for kids and adults. Close to Barnstaple.

It doesn't appear to have been held yet. Wikipedia only has results up to (and including) last year. I would think, given the speed at which Wikipedia gets updated, that this years results will appear there as soon as they're known - See related link.

Really depends on how hard you're pushing. Me, 6-10 minutes going all out.

While cycling there isn't much you can do, apart from doing as much as possible of the ride standing, out of the saddle.

It is recommended that you wear a helmet, but it is not a legal requirement

Is the Scan R10 a good bmx bike for doing tricks on

just get a bike then make it look like one from the music video kings and queens by 30 seconds to mars

me boy a poner una pedota en jerez con conpania de todos los compas por que?

A choice of mirrors is a matter of personal preferences. Many people like the handlebar-mounted mirror that sticks out the end of the left bar. I found that bike-mounted mirrors pick up all road vibrations and distort your view. Helmet-mounted mirrors are a good choice but you have to be careful how you care for your helmet after taking it off; these have less vibration than the bike-mounted mirrors. A third type is the eyeglass-mounted mirror (my preference). It has the least amount of vibration from road bumps and you move your eyes and head less to check the rear.

Also choose between planar or convex mirrors. A planar mirror has a narrow field of view but gives a better idea of distance and size of vehicles etc behind you, than the wider-field but distance-exaggerating convex type.

If you do not have a hitch you can go with the Thule Backpac 973. This will work, but can cost more than your bike. Also, because of the cost, virtually no Thule retailers will have this item on stock. You will most likely have to order it from Thule on-line. It may be easier just to get a different car.

Lance Armstrong is still alive.

It's a holiday where you either travel by bike each day from place to place, or where you stay at one place and go on day rides every day instead of going to the beach or whatever.

Yes, cycling 35 miles per week can be a healthy activity for many people. It provides cardiovascular benefits, helps improve endurance, and can aid in weight management. Additionally, cycling can strengthen muscles, particularly in the legs, and is a low-impact exercise that is easier on the joints compared to some other forms of exercise. However, individual health conditions and fitness levels should be considered, so it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting a new exercise regimen.

Several famous pro athletes have sustained broken knees during their careers. Notably, NFL quarterback Tom Brady suffered a significant knee injury in 2008, which led to a torn ACL and MCL. NBA star Derrick Rose faced severe knee injuries, including a torn ACL in 2012, which significantly impacted his career. Additionally, soccer player Marco Van Basten experienced a serious knee injury that ultimately led to his early retirement.

As of my last update, the fastest lap at the Manchester Velodrome is held by British cyclist Ed Clancy, who set the record in 2018 with a time of 13.1 seconds. However, records can change, so it's advisable to check the latest updates from official cycling sources or the velodrome's governing body for the most current information.

Cardiorespiratory fitness in biking refers to the efficiency of the heart, lungs, and muscles in delivering and utilizing oxygen during physical activity. Biking is an excellent way to enhance this fitness, as it raises the heart rate and engages large muscle groups, improving overall cardiovascular health. Regular cycling can increase lung capacity and improve oxygen uptake, making the body more efficient during exercise. Additionally, the sustained effort required in biking promotes endurance and stamina over time.

As of my last update, the Idaho Stop law, which allows cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs and red lights as stop signs, is legally recognized in Idaho and a few other states. In the Northeast, Vermont has adopted a version of the Idaho Stop law. However, it's essential to check the latest local regulations, as laws can change.
