How to mount Galaxy S3 on a mountain bike Good question. I'm looking for an s3 mount for a road bike. |

What road bike tire pressure is best for speed? On a smooth track, rolling resistance is least with maximum pressure. That's why trains use steel wheels. A track is smooth, but roads have regular bumps half the diameter of the tire. If a tire has no "give", then the bike bounces instead of the tire deforming, which costs energy. So there is a tradeoff. |

What pressure should I run my Road Bike tyres at? Michelin says this is for comfort and handling as well as speed. If I am only concerned about speed, is higher pressure always better? |

Taking a bike on a sailing boat Most, but there can be a few (like the ones that hold the reflectors on) that may not be. It's probably not enough to carry a collection of stainless nuts and bolts, but there is probably already a collection of stainless nuts and bolts on the boat. |

Safest way to slow down a bike quickly if both sets of brakes fail Actually, a chain link fence can cause problems if it catches your handle bar just right, but not as bad as barbed wire. |

How can I stop my mudguards from rattling? I guess those cobblestones can be a bit rough, eh? |

How can I stop my mudguards from rattling? It's easy. Go around the bumps. |

How do I determine the correct position for my bicycle seat? Make sure your knees don't go in or out -- toward or away from the center of the bike -- when they are on top part of the stroke, and make sure they don't wiggle around sideways on the power part of the stroke. |

Are runners allowed to use the bike lane? Share the road. This is a little like someone driving a car asking if bicycles are allowed to use the auto lane. |

What items should be in a bare-minimum first-aid / emergency kit? Cell phone. All else is optional. :) |

Is it considered rude to draft other random cyclists? If you draft behind me, you should do it carefully because I wiggle around a lot. |

Bailing out with SPD pedals on a mountain bike @Angelo, it's only 1/2 second or so, but that makes the difference between crashing or jumping off. |

Bailing out with SPD pedals on a mountain bike "When you say that you're able to bail when you know you're going to crash... You would have time to unclip too." No, that's not correct. That's the problem -- sometimes when I would normally bail, I can't because there's no time to unclip. |

Can I ride faster with a bike jersey? That is an interesting page! No wonder I see partial disk wheels and aero helmets in triathlons. |

Is there something particularly wrong with exclusively riding a mountain bike in a city setting? I like the standard. Definition of "Bike Race": Two bicycles going in the same general direction whose riders see one another. |

Where should the cleat be on the shoe? I agree it's a duplicate. I looked for a dup, but the search didn't find it. I'll search harder next time. |
