best cycling helmet value image
automaticS
I never ever ridden a bicycle before (I was that roller-blading guy when a kid). However, I want to get into it. Where should I buy a bicycle (i.e. in a specialised shop or on internet, etc)? What else (other than a bicycle and helmet) will I need? Is there anything I should know about learning? None of my friends ride a bicycle, so I guess I will have to learn it on my own.
Answer
1. Never put your butt on the saddle without your helmet on your head, no matter where or how little you are riding.
2. Do not buy a bike at a department or toy store for any reason. Go to a local bike shop and have them match you with a bike appropriate for your needs. Wal-mart bikes are junk. A good bike will have some residual value. If you don't like cycling, you can sell the bike.
3. Everyone falls off their bike. I have been riding for 50 years and fell off my bike this year (being stupid and going too fast on a twisty path). When you fall off, the most important thing to do is to GET BACK ON and keep riding!
4. When starting, ride in loops close to your house. When you get tired, it will be a short distance back home. As you build more confidence and endurance, your loops can be longer and eventually become journeys.
5. Make sure you have a large size water bottle. Fill it with Gatorade or some other sports drink. It makes a big difference from water.
6. When riding roads, do it predictably. Stop at lights and stop signs. When stopped, make sure all the cars around you know your intentions, even if you are going straight. When a car is stopped at an intersection crossing your path, wave to the driver with a big smile on your face. You really want him to know you are there.
7. When you venture further from home, learn to fix a flat. You will need a spare tube, tire levers, and a pump. None of this costs very much. Your local bike shop will be glad to help you.
Hope this helps.

LGBT: What is your opinion of people against Gun Control?
SuicidalKi
Recent reports says the NRA, you know that group that will literally "Accidenetly" hold meetings at cities with school shootings and other gun violence right after it happens to promote (Columbine... Virginia Tech) "Their God Given Right To Own Firearms to "Protect This Country" & Themselves" is stronger then ever. What do you think about people who are against Gun Control?
"unfair stereotype propagated by radical leftists" You do realize that 95% of the Media is owned by Right Wing Billionaires correct, there is no such thing as "Radical Leftists".
Answer
Living in a country that has gun control I find it rather bewildering that everyone in the USA should feel the need to have a gun.
OK, we have gun crime in my country, but it's so rare that even someone pulling out a gun and not firing it makes the news.
Personally I don't see the need for the average citizen to need a gun for self defence, and that opinion is based on seeing everyone I know living their lives perfectly happily without a gun.
When I visited some friends in the USA it felt a bit weird being in a residential house that contained a gun, but my friends saw it as normal.
I know it's a different culture, and it's not likely to change, but I once saw a photo of a man wearing a gun, standing by two children sitting on cycles.
The caption read that the two boys were safe because their father was carrying a gun.
Nether child was wearing a cycle helmet.
I think someone needed to look at his values.
