How to Buy a Practical Bike, by Noah Iliinskyiliinsky
About twice a month, all summer, someone asks me for help or advice on buying a bike. Now, inspired by the famous Rob Gruhl, here's a talk that covers everything you need to know to buy a practical bicycle.
This document provides guidance on how to buy a practical bike. It recommends considering seat height, handlebar height and reach for proper fit. Tires between 1.25-1.75 inches are practical for most city riding. Low gears and accessories like fenders and racks make a bike more usable. Hybrid or city bikes with an upright posture and room for accessories are best for everyday use. Used bikes under $500 or new bikes starting at $700 from local bike shops are affordable options. Non-profit bike shops also provide community support and access.
The document discusses motorcycle riding gear that is commonly used in Kenya when riding Yamaha motorcycles. It identifies helmets, riding boots, jackets, gloves, security measures, and rider bags as basic protective gear that motorcyclists should use. The document emphasizes that while motorcycles provide transportation, riders must prioritize safety by always wearing the proper gear like helmets to avoid injury in the event of an accident.

Mountain biking is an extreme sport that originated in Kamloops, BC. It involves riding bikes on rugged terrain and building jumps. Safety equipment like helmets is recommended due to the high risk of injury. There are different types of mountain biking like downhill and dirt jumping defined by the bike setup and terrain. Proper technique and respect for trails is important in the sport. Some riders gain sponsorship and promote themselves through competition and creating web videos.
Riding a bicycle has numerous health, financial, and environmental benefits. It can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease without needing a gym membership by getting exercise through commuting. Bicycling is much cheaper than owning a car, saving over $2,000 per year typically. It also helps improve air quality by reducing emissions from motor vehicles. The document provides tips for starting to bicycle commute safely, such as choosing bike-friendly routes, using sunscreen and clothing to protect your skin, and cleaning up after rides to prevent chafing.
