Gesso to prepare the canvas for the paint. For the paint itself, start with a kit, beginners or otherwise. They won't necessarily have the colors you want, but they'll work until you develop your own technique. I can't recommend a book, I haven't read an art book in years (although I will now...

I doubt it. For all of the harm Alexander the Great did, he has faired well in history because of the enlightened Greek influence that he spread. The ideas that Hitler endorsed were repugnant.

It didn't have anything to do with a lesser bicycle, it had to do with being passed, period. Just because bicyclists bike alone doesn't mean they're not competitive.

I've investigated this question before and found lots of sites that sell GPS locater devices for cars, but nothing specifically for bicycles. The difficulty, other then lack of demand, is the lack of a native power source on the vehicle. There are batter equipped locaters, but they broadcast...

There is a branch of modern psychology called evolutionary psychology that postulates that most of human psychology is based upon thousands of years of development in small tribes of two hundred or so people. It makes sense when you consider humans are very perceptible to differences. In high...

A basket on the front is kind of old fashion so listen to your Mom. Depending on what type you buy a rear rack can hold twenty to forty pounds. If I go to the grocery store I usually bungee cord a plastic milk carton to it to put things in. I also have a pair of pannier bags, but those aren't...

This is the bicycling section. You'll get better results if you post your question in the motorcycle section.
