Asked by Wiki User

Well there are more bicycles than people there, that's a fact

That's not true, in 2007 population count was 17.4 million people yet the number of bicycles had just passed the 10 million mark. There are a lot of bicycles in Beijing but there are still more people there. Besides the number of bicycles has decreased certain years where the number of cars has increased considerably. But Its difficult to determine what the number of bicycles in Beijing is right now since there hasn't been any reports of it.

What physical circumstances makes riding a bicycle difficult for Jonas in The Giver by Lois Lowry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jonas struggles with riding a bicycle in "The Giver" due to the lack of experiencing physical pain or discomfort in his controlled community. Since he has never felt pain before, the sensations from falling off the bicycle and getting hurt are new and overwhelming for him. Additionally, the lack of guidance or prior knowledge about riding a bike makes it challenging for Jonas to navigate and balance.

Why do the wheels of a bike get very hot when breaking hard?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The wheels of a bike get very hot when braking hard due to the conversion of kinetic energy into thermal energy. When you apply the brakes, the brake pads rub against the rim of the wheel, which creates friction. This friction slows the bike down, but it also generates a lot of heat. The heat is transferred from the brake pads to the rim, which is why the rim gets hot.

The amount of heat that is generated depends on a number of factors, including the speed of the bike, the force of the brakes, and the material of the brake pads and rim. In general, the faster the bike is going and the harder you apply the brakes, the hotter the rim will get.

If you brake too hard or for too long, the rim can get so hot that it can warp or even melt. This can cause the tire to blow out, which can be dangerous. It is important to brake smoothly and gradually to avoid overheating the rim.

Which one would compress more a solid rubber bicycle or a inflated mountain bike tire?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A "solid rubber bicycle" wouldn't be particularly useful, so I assume that you actually mean a comparison between a solid and an inflated bicycle tire.

Answer:

It depends. An inflated tire of a very high pressure will compress less than a solid tyre made out of soft rubber. OTOH a hard rubber solid tyre will compress less than a low-pressure inflatable tyre.

How do you get through the sky pillar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's simple; just get the Mach Bike. With it, you can get up enough speed to pass over the blocks that crack when you step on them, so you can go straight up and face Rayquaza. Take some Repels though, the process is difficult so you'll run into some pretty difficult wild pokémon at about level 45-50.

How do you put a card on bike spokes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on what you mean.

If you want a nice puttering sound as you ride along, you'll fold part of the card double around a fender strut so that the free end protrudes int the spokes. Clamp it in place with a clothes pin.

For extra points, tie a string between the end of the clothes pin and the handle bar, so that the tension on the string controls the angle of the card against the spokes.

If you haven't got fender struts, try attaching the card by the seatstays.

If you don't want the sound, but is instead going for that Messenger/Hipster style of blinging their bikes by displying cards in their wheels, then it's even simpler. Just interlace a card by running it over one spoke, under the next, then over again, and slide it towards the hub until it sticks.

Why bicycle tube have more punctures in summer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In theory, it's about how gasses behave. If you have the same amount of gas in an enclosed space, then the pressure will increase if the temperature increases and decrease when it gets colder.

In reality, bike tires will lose a little air straight through the tube/tire, so the state of the tire will also be dependent on when it was last inflated.

Can you remove brakes off a freewheel to make it into a fixed gear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends. If it's a so-called flip-flop hub it will, if it's a fixed-only it won't. Flip-flop hubs have regular freewheel threading on one side, and the special fixed threading the other. But the axle may be too short.

Is there such a thing as a child bike attached to an adult bike?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, sort of. There are trailer bikes (also known as tag-alongs, add-a-bikes and trail-a-bikes) that looks like the rear half of a kids bike but with the frame stretched to a long gooseneck that attaches to the rear rack or saddle post to an adults bike. The trailer bikes can not be ridden by themselves as they lack a front wheel, but must be attaached to another bike to be useful.
