Bicycle wheel

About a week ago, I was on my computer looking at the map around my town creating a bike route. I usually just grab the bike and start pedaling until I get tired and then turn back but, this time I wanted to be away from the asphalt. Being born and raised in Dominican Republic and loving mountain bikes, I grew fond of wondering in the woods and exploring new places. I currently live in The Bronx and here, a mountain bike usually only dreams about its first name; So if i wanted to see the wild,…

The civic issue that I chose was the lack of bike lanes in Ancaster. The existing bike lanes are minimal in number, and cover only short stretches, and often don't connect to each other. This is relevant to the many people that ride their bicycles in Ancaster and those who drive around them. The lack of bike lanes is an issue because it poses a safety concern to those who cycle in Ancaster and puts drivers nearby at risk because cyclists might not have appropriate or safe areas to bike. This…

The Ramp Creek mobile home neighborhood houses approximately 800 residents, which is about 6% of the city’s population (City of Heath, 2007). The City of Heath offers a fantastic bike trail system to all residents, however access to the trail system is limited to only a few neighborhoods. In order for Ramp Creek residents to access the trail, they must drive two miles to the closest parking lot. Two miles may not seem like a long way, but when you consider the trail system comes within 100 yards…

Last week, after my group was rejected for having a wooden compost bin on campus, we decided to look into transportation. We want to have a bike cage outside of Dudley Moorhead Hall, because we seen a lot of student illegally parked their bikes, and locked them in the walk ways. Once again, my group was looking for answer to our new idea, and went back to Corporation Yard A. The same lady was there at the front desk, and told us to speak to the transportation department, which was near the new…

journey, spanning four states and twenty-one days. And the mode of transformation? Road bike, or in my case, an old mountain bike with road bike tires - a ridiculous frankenstein of a bike for such a serious commitment. Fourteen people and fourteen bicycles, a group appropriately dubbed Bike Across America, and myself included, an individual so very lucky to have been a part of it all. I signed up for the trip a naive…

mechanics, it is one of my favorite hobbies. I like taking stuff apart and putting it back together. I am thinking about making my go-kart faster, but that means I would have to make it a 1-1-1-1 belt and sprocket and chain. I also want to make it 2 wheel drive. Which means I would have to get a new axle and put it in. Another one of my projects for this summer it getting the dirt bike going. Whenever I try to start it leaks gas, it needs a new gasket and new carburetor. I need a helmet if…

your bike without training wheels. All of these things are scary for someone at the age of 7. At the age of seven trying new things was like jumping off a cliff. I had always ridden my bike with training wheels because I didn’t have much balance. My babysitter and I were writing on the sidewalk with chalk. I told her that I wanted to ride my bike without training wheels. Luckily, my Mom and Dad had just pulled in the driveway, so my Dad could take the training wheels off. I carefully got on…

transportation. While some walk or drive to class, many students prefer bicycles. The university has been gracious enough to provide bicycle racks at all residence halls and academic buildings; yet, students have been parking and locking their bikes to benches or stair rails outside of or near these establishments. The Baylor University Department of Public Safety declared that doing so was prohibited on campus. As a result, any bicycles caught apprehending the law are given a second lock,…
