lemonhead asked:


I want to keep up with husband better when we go mountain bike riding…so how do I slowly build my endurance and power on the bike?
I already work out…I run 4-5 days a week, strength train 4 days a week, and will go riding once or twice a week.
I do a lot of other activities so I don’t to become a better athlete overall but for awhile I want to focus on mountain bike riding.
Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Is there any effective way to lose weight besides running, biking, and swimming?

GCGURL asked:


I’m asking because my heart isn’t too well (I’ve been to my cardiologist) and I run out of breath easily after just a minute of running (it’s just the way my body is built and it’s been like that ever since I was small–now I’m 18). I don’t know how to swim– which is why I can’t do swimming. And biking and ellipticals really hurt my joints after a few minutes.

and I don’t want to take pills or anything. And I eat healthy already so yeah.

I go mountain biking a lot and I need to purchase a helmet. I don’t know much about bike helmets so any information would be useful. I’m an adult male!

Thanks!

A sport touring or a cuirser? Which bike type is better suited for me?

choulhong asked:


I am considering getting a new bike within next a few months. I currently have Yamaha V-Star 650 custom model, which I have been riding about 3 years. I from time to time wanted to ride more than couple hours on highways, without thinking of overheating, so I have been thinking about getting a Honda VTX1300R, which fits my body profile and other factors. But lately, I began to think about getting a sport touring type bike. I do like cruiser styles over sport types, but when I try to add all those accessaries to block winds, and so on, the cruiser usually gets too bulky and pricy for me. So here goes my question, for those of you have ridden a sport touring bike, is it comfortable long enough on a sport touring bike so that you can ride for a long time compared to riding a cruiser? This question seems to obvious because sport touring is still a touring class, but since I have never ridden one for a long time, I am asking you guys. Thanks.
