How long will it take to ride a lowrider bike 3miles?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There's really no set speed for bikes, it depends a lot on how hard the rider is trying. You can potter around doing 3 MPH, in which case it'd take one hour. Or you can put a decent effort in, get the bike up to about 10 MPH and be done in something like 15-20 minutes.

How Fast does a bike roll down a hill?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on how you push it down.

Terminal velocity (top speed) is when the driving force is matched by the two opposing drag forces, air drag force and rolling resistance force.

The (constant) driving force (due to gravity) you get from :

force (N) = mass (m) of bike and rider in kg * g * sine ( incline angle in degrees) )

( g = local gravity rate (use 9.8 (m/s)/s ) )

The air drag force in newtons = drag coefficient (use 0.24) * velocity ^2

(velocity is in m/s)

The (constant) rolling resistance force in newtons = m * g * cosine (incline angle ) * rolling resistance coefficient (use 0.03).

Sequence : guess at top speed (in m/s), calculate the for and against forces for that speed, and adjust this guess until its zero.

I am 5'5 and I would like to buy a bike from walmart but they only list the wheel size which size is the right one for me I also like being able to sit on the seat and place my feet on the ground?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For a regular frame, being able to sit on the saddle and have both feet on the ground will mean that the saddle is way too low for you to be able to pedal well. It can actually hurt your knees if you were to ride like that for longer distances.

If you do a net search for "bicycle fitting" you will find several tips on how to find a suitable frame. For 5´5 the usual MTB size(26"/559 mm) will work fine.

But unless you're really strapped for cash, get your bike from a bicycle store instead. Department store bikes are usually quite poor in quality, and can be very hard to repair if the break/wear out.

When were the Schwinn starlet bikes made?

User Avatar

Asked by Allbymyself

I have an old Starlet hanging up in the basement of the house I'm renting. From what I've learned so far, the Starlets date back to 1952, at least. They were equipped with 2-tone finish in Cloud white with rose trim, or powder blue trim, a chrome "luggage rack", a button-activated horn in the "tank", and a "powerful headlight". I'm hoping to gain possession of the old bike for a restoration project!

The nitrous piston is a lighter bike, so yes you should get it, although if you could find the blank media cheaper I'd get that one.

What Materials Are used in making Helmet?

User Avatar

Asked by Suresafety

Helmets - motorcycle helmets, right? - have shells of either fiberglass or Kevlar. The shell uses cloth, resin, hardener and paint. The padding contains polyurethane, which is a "polyol," a diisocyanate and a catalyst plus a blowing agent to turn it into foam. Then there is cloth, polycarbonate for the visor, a little bit of metal...

What are the types of chasis in bikes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bicycles aren't considered to have chassis, they have frames. The traditional bike is sometimes referred to as a "diamond" frame, as it's made up of triangular shapes.

After that it's more about bike types than frame types, but I guess you could divide them into rigids, full suspension, recumbents, unicycles, trikes and tandems.

How do you fit a dynamo on a bike?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the type. A regular bottle dynamo will come with an assembly bracket that'll either clamp on to one of the fork legs, or one of the seat stays. Then you just have to wire it up to the light(s).
