    Looking for a good NYC bicycle shop to get my Cervelo built?

    I personally do not know either of the shops, but they both sale Cervelo and are authorized dealers, according to their web pages. I would try calling the racycles in Brooklyn first. Otherwise you might have the need to go to a close by state to get good service...

    Tires on a road bike?

    I was just out for a nice long ride, and right at the end I hit something that went through the side wall of my tire. I was riding along this road that had been flooded by "Atlanta flood 2009". I figure it was something that floated out of the river and was left on the road. Anyway, it was a...

    Where can I get a bike rack for an RV that doesn't use the hitch for mounting?

    I think your talking about motorcycles. This section is for bicycles. We use pedal power to do our thing. Try to motor cycle section. I can't imagine having to tow hitch any bicycle.

    Mountain bikes and water...?

    MTB's are made for abuse. they are made to go down rocky trails and jump stuff. they are made to withstand a good amount of moisture. If the bike you have can't, than I suggest getting a different one. keep the hub greased well and water shouldn't ruin the hub.

    Rode a bike for the first time in years... 3 days later my arse still

    this all depends on the cycling your doing. A padded gel seat isn't the answer. A good pair of padded bike shorts will work. If your just into cruising around than wear shorts over them. If your into a road bike, than a hard saddle is better. Also, try to ride it out. You will be sore after 3...

    Can a pro road bike racer beat a novice on a 5,000.00 dollar bike?

    I am just getting started. Through my research, I have found all the top clubs. All the ones that people say are fast road racers (for cat 3,4-5). They are all on 1,500.00+ bikes. I ask them their miles for the day, and we are about the same. I am on a 500.00 Schwinn road bike with a few...

    What sport do you think take more muscle/endurance/strength. BMX Biking, or Basketball?

    Well, I used to BMX-racing Sponsored am. The light bikes! LOL! I also played JV basketball. I would say Basket ball takes more endurance, muscle and strength.

    Can you help me find a good set of road bike tires?

    For racing you will not find a tire under that price. For training, do like Ed said and hit that performance bike link. I got a couple of continental ultra sports that have been killer. I think they were 29.99. A armadillo is a good tire for commuting and training. I think I paid 50 bones for...
