Biking in the winter NYC?




trod023


I just purchased a road bike and plan on commuting to school in the city. What should I wear to keep warm in the winter? I was thinking of purchasing one of those under armour heat shirts to wear under. Any recommendations?


Answer
A good set of lightweight polypropylene long underwear, cycling tights, a good wool sweater, a windbreaker outer shell and pants, scarf to keep your neck warm and to help regulate temp. inside the windbreaker. You will get hot. If you wear clipless shoes you'll need good polypro socks and shoe covers. A cap made of wicking material to wear under your helmet, again polypro. Good windproof gloves and a pair of anti fog glasses the fit close to your face and keep out the wind. Dressing in layers is better than one heavy outfit. The biggest challenge will be to keep the wind out and your feet warm. If you can do this the ride will be comfortable. You are going to get sweaty regardless of how cold it is outside. Clothing that wicks away the perspiration is going to be your best friend. Don't forget a reflective vest to wear outside the windbreaker. You will be easier to see in low light conditions. Make sure it is a retro-reflective vest, 3M makes a very good one. They can be found at a good running shoe store or bike shop. Hydrate, drink water while you ride, sweating and cold will dehydrate you quickly.
I used to use a full face ski mask if it was under 25 degrees F.
Be careful in the snow, a bike will slip very quickly and dump you in the road. Good luck and stay safe, enjoy the ride.

what weight is heavy for a full face mountain bike/downhill helmet?







needing a full face helmet for riding downhill this summer and seen a few for sale online but dont know what weight is "light" i dont want a heavy one for obvious reasons. i seen a motocross one for sale for £15 and the guy said it would be ok for downhill mtb. but being motocross its designed for motocross bikes so would no doubt be heavier.

then again he might just be saying motocross helmet so ive asked him what weight it is and waiting for him to reply so needing to know what is classed as a lightweight helmet.

thanks



Answer
giro remedy's are light, and so are fox rampage. if your looking for light helmets and not DOT helmets. I have both those and there nice and light, a lot of vents too.

Can I bring my own helmet to go whitewater rafting?




ChaseTheBa


I'm going rafting on the Ocoee River this summer and I have a question. Can I bring my own helmet to wear down the river? The reason I ask is I have a helmet camera that I wish to use to record the trip. Bringing my own helmet would eliminate any issues with having to quickly rig a mount on the provided helmet and help avoid loss of my camera as well as damage to the provided helmet. We're going with High Country and I've sent them the same question via email, with no response as of yet. Does anyone know if this would cause a problem? If I can bring my own, would I need a certain kind of helmet or would a bike helmet be sufficient?

Thanks
The padding in a bike helmet is usually styrofoam, which cannot absorb water. I understand it would need to be an approved helmet, which is why I asked what kind I would need if they requested I use a certain kind



Answer
This is only something that the particular rafting company you're going with can answer for sure. Keep trying to email them or call them to find out.

Watersport helmets are a bit different from bicycle helmets. Most bicycle helmets have a very lightweight foam in them (like styrofoam) and a thin outer shell. They're designed to protect your head in a high-speed impact. When impact occurs, the helmet gets deformed and is basically destroyed. Watersport helmets tend to have denser foam and a thicker outer shell and can generally handle multiple impacts at lower speed without getting completely destroyed.

While a bike helmet is better than nothing, don't be surprised if they don't allow you to use one. After checking with the outfitter, maybe see if you can buy a watersport helmet and bring that. Or, if you're arriving a day or more before the trip, see if you can pick up a helmet from them so you can work on mounting your rig the night before.

What kind of Motorcycle Helmet Should I Get?

best lightweight bike helmets image



inmodwetru


I am going to get a new helmet to wear with my vintage vespa and my sport bike. I want something SNELL and DOT that is well-ventilated and very lightweight. Money is not really much of an object but i'd like to stay below 400 or 350 normal retail price. I'm considering Suomy, AGV, Arai or Shoei. Let me know!


Answer
No one, not even the dealer, can answer this. Go to your local dealer grab each different model from one manufacturer and try them on and compare. Go to the next manufacturer and repeat, etc.... take the one from each manufacturer and compare again. Don't look at the price, just compare how it feels. Keep in mind while comparing that the padding will loosen in a week (maybe two), so get a helmet that's very, very, snug. It should press your cheeks in and should be snug around top of head (not giving you a headache). Keep each helmet on for a few minutes(walk around the store even). When you finally narrow it down you may then look at the price. It may be $450+ , but at least you'll get a better idea why. Also, (very important) ask the dealer to tell you which helmets have the options to change cheek pad thickness. Arai (and some higher-end shoei's) let you change the thickness so if you find a helmet that fits perfect around the top of your head but doesn't feel right at the cheeks, this will help greatly which is another reason for the cost so keep that into consideration if you pick out a $450+ helmet. I'm not sure about AGV or Suomy. I do know Arai helmets with those features can be purchased around $350-$400 basic white or black color (Colors add $30 - $50. Graphics can add $100+ to the price) There are other options such as removealbe liner, etc. that affect price... Half, three quarter, and flip-up hybrid are NOT snell approved. Look for snell sticker on back of helmet.

How to choose bike for everyday life use (student)?




Twinkle [D


There are so many types of bikes and I wonder which one I should buy for using in everyday life? I am going to study at Kyoto(Japan) and I think I should have bike for riding to university and doing routine (like buying food, visit friends etc.) and some touring around the city.

I think Kyoto have a lot of valley (don't sure in the city) I am girl, 155 cm height. So, lightweight is good but I don't is it important for routine use? And is gear important? Could anyone give me advice about what type of bike I should buy and what should I concern when buying?

Thank you very much in advance!



Answer
As you have noticed there are different types of cycle for different types of riding, but a good compromise for your requirements will probably be a hybrid.

There are several types of hybrid, but they all take features from two or more types of cycle to produce an all - round cycle.

Hybrids tend fall into two main groups. The first is based on MTB designs, with 26 inch wheels, and may have front suspension. These types tend to be more solidly built, and can be as basic as an MTB fitted with road tyres and gearing.

The second main group is the performance hybrid, which is closer to a road cycle, but with flat handlebars. These are lighter than the MTB based designs, have 700c wheels, and are generally lighter and faster than the other types.

The best thing that you can do is go along to a cycle store (one that specialises in cycles, not a department or toy store) and ask the staff to show you their range of hybrids.

If it's a reputable store the staff will help you decide which cycle will suit your needs, and will also advise you on other items, such as tool kit, pump, lights, rack, mudguards, and any clothing you may need, including helmet and gloves.
