downhill pilot asked:


Many of my friends who know me say that I am a bicycle freak. It’s true though. I like to ride my bike down the hill a lot with my riding buddies. However, people keep asking me isn’t dangerous or scary to do that kind of sport? I replied, I think riding downhill on your bicycle is just as dangerous as playing soccer or hockey or rugby as you could get hurt as well or even break your body parts from doing those sports. So, what do you guys think about extreme mountain biking, if you ever seen or tried it before?

Nash R asked:


I have to buy a kids bicycle (20″). I noticed that pedals in many of these bicycles do not rotate freely in reverse direction. Is that a feature or a bug? It’s useful to have them rotate freely so that you can easily bring to them to starting position when you’re just starting your ride.

Most men I’ve asked definitely prefer the women’s bikes with no crossbar. Bicycles do not need to to be gendered, especially not for adults. Any reason why they still are?

Are kids still competitive with each other these days? Do they like to race each other during play? How often do they enjoy racing each other? How old are your kids and what is your city, state?
How do they decide who won the race?

QUICK QUESTION asked:


Hello, I am wanting to purchase a 1986 kawasaki voyager with 1200cc’s. It is in great shape. The concern I have is me not having any riding experience. I am a bright person and learn really fast, realistically, how easy is it to learn and pick up on touring bikes? And, what is one thing that I should pay attention to when learning to ride a touring motorcycle?

Thank you!
