Biking and cycling
If you do get in an accident that leads to a broken derailleur, you’ll likely be looking at spending upwards of $100 to replace it. The derailleur itself will cost around $50 and the hangar that holds it will cost around $15. If you bring it into a shop, you’ll also need to pay for the labor, which can be anywhere from $40-$60 depending on your location
Your bike chain should ideally last you anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 miles As the exact amount is difficult to pin down the range could be as great as 1,000 to 8,000 miles depending on the style of riding of the rider and how well the chain is maintained through the duration of its life.
Triathlon bikes are meant to be comfortable for any triathlon distance, meaning anywhere from 12 to 112 miles. While it is generally agreed that a road bike provides more comfort and control, it is equally accepted that the tri-bike aerodynamics efficiency allows for a higher speed. In conclusion, it’s a tradeoff between comfort, control, and speed, however, there may not be enough of a noticeable difference between a triathlon bike and a road bike which is set up with aerodynamic components.
Anything above 30mph (48 kph) is likely too much wind for most cyclists, and anything above 40mph (64 kph) is considered a gale wind. However, any amount of wind can be enough to make for a challenging ride.
The average bike is 68 inches long from wheel to wheel. Bike frames typically fall within a range of 48-60cm with corresponding sizes between extra small and extra-large, depending on the brand.
Often your ears are the first place you’ll feel cold. That has to do with two factors – the first is that as your ears are on the outside of the body, so they are exposed to the cold temperatures as well as the wind. The second is that because your ears are mainly made of cartilage, they have no layer of fat, which helps insulate the rest of your body.
