10 Things Every Cyclist Should Know...

All cycling shorts are designed with a padded chamois to be worn next to the skin . You may feel naked the first time that you do this but you will get used to it very quickly . The seam of any underwear will cut into you and is a surefire way to get a saddle sore or to end up walking like John Wayne after a spin . Chamois cream is a great way to cut down on the natural friction that occurs when pedaling at 90 rpm for a couple of hours . This can be applied to either the chamois itself or directly onto the skin where the point of contact is . Whilst everyone has a personal choice in saddle styles , in general they should be narrow for road bike use , as you will be sitting more forward and a wide saddle may cause chaffing between the legs . All saddles should be level , not pointing up or down . If you feel that you need your saddle pointing down towards the front hub , chances are that it is too high in the first place and vice verse . It does take time to get your rear end used to sitting on a saddle for hours on end , but this too is all part of the training

Tips on buying a bike

A bike is not a washing machine. It is not nearly as reliable. You can buy a washing machine, use it many times a day, and expect it to work flawlessly for twenty years. A bicycle has to be a compromise between reasonable weight, cost, and durability. The bike could be as reliable as the washing machine, but it would weigh as much - around 300 pounds. Your bike must fit properly to be safe and comfortable. In the case of road bikes, most people will agree that you should be able to stand over the middle of the toptube on a man's style frame, with your feet about twelve inches apart, and be able to lift the front wheel one or two inches. For bikes that will be used for off-road riding, you should be able to lift the front wheel 4 or 5 inches. The reasoning is not that you may hurt yourself by hitting the toptube in an accident, but that while you are trying to prevent an accident, you may have to put a foot down here and there. You should not have to be concerned about hitting the toptube, so you can focus on the problem at hand. Getting a bike that's too small means the handlebar may be too low relative to the seat for good comfort and control.
