    How do you store a race bike in the winter?

    I know how to ride the bike, but little else. Help a girl out? it's a ventura jamis for girls race bike and it's currently hanging upside down in my uninsulated shed. It's hovering around 0 degrees Celcius outside right now so time is ticking.

    an invention for the kitchen? whats inconvenient for you when you cook!?

    I have a small family so filling up our dishwasher would take days of dirty dishes. A half size washer would be much more convenient and with a powerful rinse cycle so i can just put the dishes in as is. I don't like washing dishes by hand.

    What's the best way to transport a bike with my Ford Ranger?

    If you don't have a hitch the overall cost will be around a thousand for a bike rack for the back of your car. If you have cross beams on your roof you can get a bike carrier for about $100 to $200. Unfortunately I don't know anything about using a towing bumper, unless you want to get like a...

    Is there a bike/canoe rack for the roof of a car?

    There most certainly is, I can assure you on that. You just need to find it. For a bike rack, I know you can buy an attachment for your crossbars that will accomadate just one bike. They're pretty cheap (in the area of $50 ea) and since you can buy one at a time this leaves you room to tie...

    Is there any good bike riders out there that can help me?

    Either a mountain bike or a hybrid. However, a hybrid is only suitable for hard packed dirt roads and tarmac. Keep that in mind. Hybrids aren't great for gravel or loosely packed dirt.

    Do you wear a helmet when you bike or not?

    Well I have two bikes. A hybrid (moutain/road) and a race bike. I always wear my helmet on my race bike no matter what speed I'm going or where I am. I use my hybrid for commuting so I'll admit i don't always wear my helmet. I do feel it looks a little dumb when I'm dressed in my casual...
