How much should a bicycle wobble when being transported on a cycle carrier? I have bought a Thule "Rideon" tow-bar mounted cycle carrier and fitted it to my car. It holds up to 3 bikes but I just put 2 adult ones on for now. Secured everything according to the instructions, and took it for a "trial run" to see how secure it felt. There was some wobble to the bikes as I drove along, which I guess is normal, but should I also add more security to the whole thing, using bicycle chains, for example, to decrease the wobbling? Just need some reassurance about how much wobble is normal??

What sort of basket would go onto this bicycle? http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd33/Murderdogs/My%20bicycles/?action=view&current=100_0801.jpg It is a vintage trade bicycle. The rear wheel has been removed as the gear hub is jammed. I wanted to know what would originally have been placed in the carrier on the front; would it be a wicker basket or a wooden crate? Would it have a lid, a handle, etc? I am trying to keep it original.

How do I remove rust off a bicycle rims? Although I have kept it covered, the rims got rust on them from the weather. The tires are good and holding air, so I don't want to use anything that might damage them. It's just the rims that are looking bad. It would be a real pain to have to remove the tires first as I also have a child's carrier trailer. Any experience with this and solutions out there?? Thank you
I want to return broken goods but don't have the box? I bought a bicycle carrier to mount on the back of my car at the weekend. While fitting it I tightened it up and two plastic shim between the handles (for tightening) broke. Now comes my mistake, due to my hate for keeping cardboard boxes and taking up space in my house with rubbish, I had taken the cardboard box to the tip before attempting to mount the carrier. Can I still return the goods to Halfords?

Are thin bicycle road tires suitable for the city? I just bought a second-hand road bicycle to commute around town. It has a lightweight frame, mudguards, luggage carrier, normal handlebars (not drop handlebars), and I guess it is not a racing bike. But the tires are very thin. The Question is: how good are these thin tires suited for the city? I'm not doing any off-road riding. The town where I live has a very good infrastructure for riding bikes (i.e. separate lanes, lowered curbs...), but there are still some bumps, different pavements and tram rails and such. I heard that thin wheels are not suitable for riding on rough terrain, because bumps bend them. Is that correct? How rough is "rough" in that case? Are the city pavements rough? (I realized that thing about the tires late, but I can still return the bike) P.S.: If needed, I can measure the width of the tires/rim.
Have you flown your bicycle on American Airlines? I'm going on a ride and must fly to attend. American Airlines states that you can fly your bike for free as a piece of luggage providing it does not exceed 62 inches in overall dimension. Meaning all sides of the box must total up to 62 inches overall. I've built some tight boxes, but this is almost impossible. Does any one have experience with this airline? Any tried box designs? Any Ideas? I'd hate to pay extra for a service that they are offering for free, I can ship via another carrier pretty cheaply. But they say its free... until you view the size limitation.
Where can I get a helmet for my 8 month old baby? A friend just got me the child carrier seat for my bicycle and I need to know where to get a helmet. Thanks! I have looked at Target, walmart, sports authority and none of them have helmets small enough for her. I know it is not recommended to take them until they are one year of age however my daughter is walking on her own and I have spoke with her doctor and he thinks she is strong enough for me to take her.

What kind of bicycle should i buy? I have a 7 month old, we live in south Louisiana, have alot of nice weather to be out in and I want to buy a bicycle to ride her in a carrier. I haven't owned a bicycle in a long time and don't know where to start. I don't want to spend all kinds of money without knowing what I really need. For the most part I want to ride her through neighborhoods or around the lakes that have cement paths. Right now I don't forsee us doing any off road stuff. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.
How do I check a bicycle as luggage? I'm flying my brother to New Orleans (ABQ to MSY) in June of 2008. He is a bicycling enthusiast and would like to bring his Fixie with him, also it's way cheaper than renting a car. I've never flown with or checked a bicycle. I understand that most airlines will allow you to check a bicycle as opposed to an extra piece of luggage as long as it's packed a certain way. I'm currently looking at either Continental or Delta for his flight. My main point of confusion is the new $25 fee for an additional piece of luggage. I've read that this fee is only incurred when flying with multiple carriers for one trip. He will be flying one way and most flights I've looked at are single carrier. If he checks one piece of luggage and his bike, plus whatever additonal carry on he happens to have, does this fee apply? I am trying my best to make this flight as inexpensive as possible.
Can a baby 5 months old, 16 lbs and 26 inches long (not walking yet), use the CoPilot Limo Bicycle Child Seat? Most baby bike carriers say that the child must be one year old and not more than a specific weight, but the CoPilot Limo Bicycle Child Seat simply says that you can use the bike carrier with a child up to 40 lbs. So does that mean that I can use the bike carrier with any baby under 40 lbs? I would really love to hear from someone with experience with this product.

How should I proceed? I would like to advise my brother who had dental work but didn't ask enough questions? My brother had a bicycle accident and broke a few teeth in the front. Decided to finally get them fixed in addition to fixing a tooth that was abscessed. The dentist quoted $3000 for a few extractions and a bridge or $5000 for full upper denture. Brother decided on $3000 option. Five appts, 5 extractions and so far $5000 later we don't have the bridge. The Dentist says that still more teeth need to be pulled (not many left). Obviously he has stopped going and asked for his medical records but the Dentist wanted to withhold the records until full payment was made and he's charging for them. He has already billed the insurance $1100(plus $5000). I am very confused by this whole situation. This Dentist was referred do to my brother's insurance carrier but at this cost he could have gone to my Dentist without insurance and paid less! We will get further dental care with someone that is not so abusive financially and emotionally. Could we do more though? Thanks _ Toothless Grin
Oi! Would you pay 15 quid for a cardboard box? Stone the crows! Wot were they finking? When all is said and done that fire engine woz nuffink more than a piece of cardboard and I can get them for nuffink down in Tescos. Anyways one of them fings wouldn't last 5 minutes once a cat had got its claws into it. And just wot were they finking with that bicycle carrier? I'm no Newtonian physicist or anyfink but even I know that a load on one side of the bike will exert a gravitational pull on it towards the ground. In uver words some poor geezer is gonna get a right fall if they put one of them fings on the backa their bike! They're all fired!! Anne: They woz selling it to the shop for 6.50. The retail price woz 15 quid. It woz daylight robbery!
If I'm pulling a pop-up camper with my SUV, how should I haul my bicycles? I have a Chevy Trailblazer SUV, and I'm thinking about buying a pop-up (folding) camper. We would like to take our bicycles with us when we go camping. I currently use a bike carrier that mounts to my trailer hitch. So - if I connect the camper to my trailer hitch, what's the best way to haul the bicycles? They don't fit in the back of the SUV, and I DON'T want to put them on the roof of the SUV. Does the camper have a trailer hitch in the back?

Visiting DC with 9 year old. Where are some good places to go bicycling? We are visiting next week. I am debating bringing our bikes, but the carrier is a little sketchy, and I'm worried bikes will scratch car on the drive up. Any suggestions for rentals? Ideally, a tandem or tagalong? Also, some good places to ride with no cars, or a wide bike lane. Can you take bikes on Metro? Thank you all.
**Best way to ship a bike? Hooray, I just sold my vintage bicycle and now I need to ship it across country to the new owner.

A 15 year old boy took his cat on a routine visit to the vet's office.? He had the cat since he was 2. His parent's had made the appointment but could not take the cat due to busy schedules. After seeing the cat the vet approached the boy and told him the cat was not doing good and he would have to put it to sleep right away. The boy asked if he could call his parents first and the vet replied. "No, it has to be done right away." Shortly thereafter the vet handed the boy his dead cat wrapped in a blanket and the boy rode home on his bicycle with his deceased pet in a carrier. This happened in the state of California. Should this just be forgotten?
3 bomb blasts leave 5 dead, 25 wounded in India India? GAUHATI, India – Three bombs exploded in India's restive northeast Sunday, killing five people and wounding more than 25, police said. Five people died after two blasts went off within minutes of each other outside a police station in Nalbari town near the Assam state capital, Gauhati, a local police official said. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity as he is not authorized to speak to the media, said about five minutes later a third blast occurred a few miles (kilometers) away. More than 25 people have been wounded in the three blasts. India's northeast is beset by scores of conflicts. More than 10,000 people have died in separatist violence over the past decade. The region is home to dozens of separatist groups who accuse the government of exploiting the area's natural resources while doing little for the indigenous people. Assam's Inspector General of police Bhaskar Mahanta said authorities suspect the militant separatist group United Liberation Front of Asom is behind the blasts. No group claimed responsibility. Mahanta said the bombers had parked two bicycles fitted with carriers packed with explosives outside the Nalbari police station, which is located in a congested part of the town. These went off, killing passers-by and wounding the others. Mahanta said police had received intelligence reports suggesting that the ULFA was planning to avenge last week's arrest of two of the group's leaders. Last week, suspected ULFA rebels triggered a powerful explosion, derailing a freight train and setting more than a dozen oil tanker railcars on fire in Assam. The ULFA has spurned the Indian government's offer to hold talks with them on condition that the group give up violence. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091122/ap_on_re_as/as_india_blasts What do u think about cricket world cup 2011 and dangerous, risky Indian security?
Need help with physics homework questions!? I need help on a few phyiscs problems. Directions on the process of doing the problems would be more helpful than just the answer, because these numbers will not be the same numbers as the ones in my problems. Thanks!! A truck needs to average 47 mi/hr in order to complete a haul on time. If the truck has been averaging 41 mi/hr for the first 3.3 hours, what must be its average speed in mi/hr for the remaining 1.6 hr of the trip in order to get there on time? A pilot taking off from an aircraft carrier is told to expect a tail wind of 42 km/hr. If the pilot's cruising speed is usually 646 km/hr, how long, in minutes, will it take the plane to reach an island that is located 63.4 km from the carrier? Two cyclists race with nearly uniform speed on a 91 m course. The blue bicycle crosses the finish line 2.0 s ahead of the red bicycle. If the red bicycle maintained an average speed of 15 m/s, then what was the average speed of the blue bicycle? If you could bend a light beam to travel around the Earth, how many times would it go around the Earth in one second? Thank you!!!
Which one of the eight sentences in the above passage is the topic? (1) It is hard for us to believe just what the bicycle meant to Canadians in the 1890s. (2) Here was everyone’s dream—a speedy, pleasant means of travel available to people who could never afford a carriage and a team of horses. (3) Overnight Canada became a nation on wheels. (4) Bicycle clubs sprang up in every town and city. (5) The young kids peddled out to the country to go fishing. (6) Couples got out a bicycle-builtfor- two, with extra carriers fore and aft for the youngsters, and peddled to the beach. (7) The man who wanted to prove his strength cycled a “century”, one hundred miles, in a single day—no mean feat over the roads of the times. (8) And after the drop frame was introduced to preserve feminine modesty, many women took to the sport, wearing knickers or long, baggy bloomers under their skirts.

What is the most useless thing you have ever bought for your baby? You know, one of those things you had to have, and after you bought them, used them maybe once or twice? Mine would be the grocery cart cover, you know, the ones you put on the cart and your kids sit in them. When I wasn't forgetting it at home, I didn't feel like lugging it and my baby and my purse, so I just grabbed a wipe and wiped the seat and handle down before I put Sam in. Another would be the baby carrier you strap on your back or front and carry the baby in. It was a pain in the butt to get on and get the baby in, and then my son would start screaming after being in it about five minutes, anyway! Share some of yours, hopefully we can keep the newer moms from making the same mistake! Oh, yea, as if those weren't bad enough, I bought one of those strollers you attach to the back of your bicycle and put the kids in so you can pull them, from a garage sale for 40 bucks a few days ago. And when I got home, and my husband saw it, he said "what the heck are you gonna do with that thing? You don't even have a bike???!!"

Want to read a little story? 2010 Was Not A Good Year To Be President Welcome to Toastmasters, June 13, 2033. That's right: 2033. Today Rick Campbell, one of our senior members at age 87, is here to reminisce a bit and give us a history lesson. He says he is so old that he learned to drive an internal combustion engine car (remember those) with a manual transmission. He once owned a typewriter. He remembers when bicycles had one speed, phones had two-party lines, and cameras had something called film. As incredible as this may seem, he says that when he was young, it was common for people to smoke in restaurants and public places. He is from a different time; almost a different world. I'm sure all of us are far too familiar with the tragic events of 2010, so Rick is not going to plow that fertile field again. Instead, he is going to give us a personal look back at the conditions which led up to that fateful year, in a speech titled "2010 Was Not A Good Year To Be President." "2010 Was Not A Good Year To Be President" Yes, 2010 was long ago and far away. As we look back on history, it appears that some Presidents had an easy ride- times of growth and stability. Teddy Roosevelt, Warren G. Harding, Dwight Eisenhower, Bill Clinton come to mind. Those were good years to be President. Others were elected just when the Republic was facing terrible crises: Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, George W. Bush. They rose to the occasion, even though they were controversial and widely hated while in office. Not such good years to be President. Just a few years prior, in 2008, the country began foundering. We were in the sixth year of the Iraqi Occupation, and the economy was flat. The mainstream press clearly wanted a Democrat elected. Although we didn't know it until some years later, oil producing nations had colluded to secretly buy their own oil on the open market, driving oil prices to shocking levels above the true demand price- reaching a high of $162 a barrel in October, 2008, just before the general elections. Their purpose was simple: to effect regime change in the United States. And of course, the U.S. economy was already in a real estate slump and also suffering the curse of stagflation; slow growth and high inflation. There were a million home foreclosures. Independent truckers went under by the thousands. Airlines failed. Airlines with names now long-forgotten: United, Delta, Northwestern, American. All now merged, of course, into the one lone U.S. carrier we love so much: Southwest. Against this backdrop of weariness of the war on terror, and economic distress, the American people were ripe for a demagogue, and they certainly got one in Barack Hussein Obama. He and his running mate Kathlene Sibelius inspired them with vague notions of hope and change; of a world in which diplomacy settled all international problems, of free universal health care, of abundant alternative energy, of peace and love. It was a vision too good to resist. The Republican nominee, a name you probably haven't heard in years anyone? Yes, it was John McCain, an obscure Senator from Arizona had no clue how to run a national campaign, and a platform nearly as liberal as Obama's. The selection of Condoleeza Rice as his running mate looked brilliant at first. Unfortunately, black voters viewed her as white, and women voters viewed her as one of the guys. Even so, the McCain/Rice ticket would have won the election if it weren't for the fact that 16 percent of conservative Republicans voted for anyone remember? That's right, Bob Barr, another name that's a footnote in history. After Obama's narrow win, thanks to recounts in Broward County, Florida, the country was positively giddy. A Democrat House, Senate, and President. At last an end to gridlock in Washington. Camelot! When Congress convened in January, 2009, the 44th President of the United States did something unique in history: he made good on his campaign promises. Certainly most Americans never really thought he was serious during the campaign. But whether because of inexperience, idealism, or simply incompetence, he followed through. In Obama's first One Hundred Days, the Congress passed his initiatives, and he signed them into law as he said he would. He repealed the Bush tax cuts, and increased capital gains taxes. He enacted a windfall profits tax, and instituted price controls on gasoline and diesel fuel. He passed universal health care, which added an additional 10 percent tax increase on all working Americans. He signed the Immigrant Amnesty bill which created 12 million new citizens instantly, each with entitlements. He closed the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and summarily released all the detainees. He repealed the Patriot Act, and cut funding for espionage, and eliminated all terrorist listening and wiretaps. Most important, he began the complete and immediate withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq. He ignored the advice of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who wanted to retain bases in Kuwait and Qatar. Instead, he went with the recommendation of Secretary of Defense Dennis Kucinich, and ordered all troops back to U.S. soil. Viola! In One Hundred Days, by May of 2009, it was all done, and the vision was complete. He did exactly what he said he would do. And so it was in the summer of 2009 that things began to unravel for Obama. Of course, the economy needed a tax cut, not an increase, and unemployment quickly rose to 12 percent. Even attorneys and economists were put in the bread lines. Hard times! Price con! trols on gasoline immediately led to shortages and gas lines. The global cooling trend we have seen for the past 25 years first became obvious in 2009, exposing the CO2 global warming fraud. People were justifiably angry. Federal deficits increased massively because thousands of baby boomers, facing job loss and much higher taxes, simply gave up and took social security. Although the superb U.S. health care system was thrown into disarray, the bright spot was the creation of the Federal Department of Health care, and the immediate hiring of 250,000 administrators, inspectors and auditors, the only job growth in any economic sector in 2009. By February 2010, the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq was complete. It was a very expensive undertaking. And then in March, the gradual Shiite insurgencies from Iran turned into a true Iraqi civil war. In May, Iranian tanks crossed the border and quickly took Baghdad. Although the exact number is not know, at least 230,000 Sunni Iraqis died as we stood by. Iran also quickly moved into undefended Kuwait. President Obama did exactly what he said he would. He sent Secretary of State, Maria Cantwell, to Tehran to meet with Iranian President Ahmadinejad. After two weeks of high level talks, the United States agreed to allow Iran to retain Iraq and Kuwait to create stability in the middle east, with the understanding that Israel would not be disturbed. Cantwell returned to Washington, and explained the agreement in her famous speech, in which she proudly noted that the Obama administration had finally achieved "peace in our time" in the Middle East. So there was some surprise at the rocket attacks on Tel Aviv on August 14th. President Obama said, "This is not the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad I knew." The Obama administration decided it would be de-stabilizing to take sides in the conflict, and approximately 29,000 Israeli civilians died during the summer and fall. American Jews were appalled at the inaction. Yes, in 2010 most American Jews were Democrats, but because of 2010, they are solid Republicans today. As awkward as it was, everything might have turned out all right for the Obama administration going into the fall mid-term elections of 2010, if it hadn't been for the dirty bomb in the Port of Long Beach. The administration had cut funding for the inspection of containers, because they felt it showed a "lack of trust" in the international trading community. It wasn't really a very big bomb, and thank goodness, not a real nuclear device, but nonetheless it contaminated some expensive real estate-Newport Beach, Palos Verdes Estates- and ultimately caused the death of 14,000 Americans. People were especially annoyed that Disneyland had to be closed for decontamination. And so, in the midterm elections, Republicans regained control of both the House and Senate, and the rest is history. The impeachment proceedings against President Obama for "failure to protect and defend" were swift and nearly unanimous. Vice President&nbs! p;Sibeli us resigned. Newly-elected Speaker of the House, J.C. Watts, became the 45th President of the United States. But you know the rest of the story well. Republicans finished the war on Islamic fundamentalists, largely by aiming ICBM's at Mecca and Medina. No Democrat has been elected President since. Republicans have held both Houses of Congress. History of Western Civilization and Economics are now taught in all public schools, and in English only. Marriage is defined as one man and one woman. And there are border fences, north and south. We old codgers remember the ancient Confucian curse: "May you live in interesting times." Well, 2010 was an interesting year, but it was not a good year to be president." (Far fetched? We are likely to find out if we continue to be unaware of the issues and vote with our emotions rather than be studious in our approach to electing our "public officials".) Elvira(aka nasty bi-ch)..and anyone else..I did not write a word of this, just put it out as it was foward to me..
Cheap cruiser bicycles with these accessories? I was checking out Schwinn's website and this bike caught my eye: http://www3.schwinnbike.com/usa/eng/Products/Cruisers/Details/1015-S7DLX7-Deluxe-Seven The problem is that the Schwinn Deluxe Seven retails for over $500 USD. I figure that some of the price comes from the brand name. Does anyone know of a similar bike style can be had for less money with these sorts of accessories?: rack/carrier, fenders, headlight, horn, chainguard, etc. a tank would be preferred also. Well, I really like the vintage design. Hybrid bikes don't really have that...

Bicycling Across America - Questions? Well I am not doing the whole united states travel this time. Seeing as this is my first time doing a long distance bike ride, I am going to do just from north to south coast. I am starting in Portland OR and going to the bottom of southern california. I have most of it planned out, except sleeping and safety. You see, I can not afford to get a hotel every night so I decided to bring a sleeping bag and a tarp instead. Any suggestions of where to sleep? Rest areas are out of the question, as I want to plan my route to where I am in a city everytime I sleep, for obvious reasons. I am doing this journey alone, and I am quite aware of the dangers. But in reality, there are always dangers. Any suggestions about sleeping and how to protect my stuff when I am asleep? I am bringing a baby carrier that attaches to the back, if that helps.
