Different Colours of Cycling Sunglasses

Filed under: Specialized Bikes — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 10:25 pm

Dirt, insects, the wind and sunlight, all these make bike riding almost impossible, particularly in competitions. Cycling sunglasses therefore have multiple protective functions, providing eye comfort and safety at the same time. Besides the possibility of foreign bodies entering the eyes, the highest risk you expose yourself to, when riding without sunglasses, is eye damage because of ultraviolet and infrared radiations. High quality shades make the difference between amateurs and pros. Here are some suggestions on how to choose cycling sunglasses for prolonged outdoor use, although the list will be far from complete.

Finding the right pair of cycling sunglasses is not easy. Lots of users are keen on a certain brand or product and when it goes out of stock or the style disappears, they are at a loss about what to find as substitutes for their old cycling sunglasses. fit well on the face, and this applies to wraparounds in particular. Such designs will keep dirt, pollutants and sun rays away from your eyes. Wraparounds can trap moisture in the eye area and make the lenses foggy, therefore, check the design for air wholes in the frames.

Many pros choose cycling sunglasses with interchangeable lenses. You should change the lenses depending on weather variations because the needs differ on bright sunshine or dull overcast days. Cycling sunglasses with gray lenses are the most efficient and widely practical for almost all types of weather. However, amber lenses make terrain variations more obvious and yellow ones are ideal on foggy weather. Interchangeable cycling sunglasses are definitely more expensive, but they are definitely worthy the investment if cycling is a life style for the wearer.

Depending on individual needs, cycling sunglasses could be made on prescription. Eye correction could be necessary on a regular basis and without the adjustments made to the sunglasses you won’t be able to enjoy such eyewear. Some users even choose to match prescription lenses with cycling sunglasses by a mechanism that allows the prescription lenses to get fit behind the standard cycling ones. As for the average price, the best cycling sunglasses cost between $ 100 and $ 200, but many good items come a bit cheaper. Sports stores often have sales and promotions and you can get some serious discounts too, which should make quality eyewear more accessible to the average user.

Giant mountain bikes are one of the top biking brands in the world, combining world class technology with bikes to suit every rider. World class competitions, training and leisure riding all make use of Giant bikes with the world leaders in the sport choosing Giant as their bike providers. However Giant design bikes for the most amateur of bikers as well as world class experts. Their range of kids bikes suit every level of ability.

Giant offer two ranges of children’s bikes. One range is designed for little children who have never ridden before. For children that have never ridden a bike before, there is a range for them. The other range are for kids with a bit more experience who use their bike to get to and from places.

First Bike
For first time riders there are three bikes suitable for children. A tricycle in blue, pink, red or silver is designed for optimum safety and is called the L’il Giant. A pole attached to the back of the bike lets parents keep control over where the bike goes and the training wheels help the child to stay balanced.

There is a lovely basket on the front, removable training wheels and 16” wheels to help first time riders with their confidence. The smaller junior size features stabilisers and smaller 12” wheels. Animator is the final model in the first time riders range. This is the boy’s version of PUDD’N and is painted in much more masculine colours and the basket has been removed. There is a junior and original sized version available in the Animator range.

Three Easy Ways To Enjoy The Outdoors

Filed under: Specialized Bikes — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 7:10 am

It’s a sad fact but people are enjoying the outside less and less these days. TV and computers have taken over a lot of people lives and this is having dramatic medical implications all across the country. One of the most effective ways of getting to enjoy the outdoors again and understanding how good it can make you feel, is sport. So which sports are those that can get the blood pumping and get you in touch with nature best?

Mountain biking. Most people learn to ride a bike at a young age and biking just gets better as you get older. You can pick up great second hand bikes these days for next to nothing and you can look up good cycle routes on the internet very easily. Additionally, biking is one of those sports that is accessible to all ages and abilities as you can go as fast or as slow as you like

Kayaking. If solid ground is a little too mundane for you then one brilliant water-based sport you might like to try is kayaking. Like mountain bikes there are plenty of good used kayaks you can buy and all you need other than that is an oar and a life jacket. It is advisable to go out with a professional first so that you can learn the ropes but once you’ve got it there will be no stopping you.

Surfing. If you’ve managed to stay dry in the kayak and fancy getting your hair wet then why not find some friends, grab a number of surfboards and hit the beach. If you begin by just trying to surf on your tummy you’ll pick it up quite quickly, after which time you can progress onto standing. Surfing is one of those sports that is very addictive so be prepared for wrinkly fingers

If you need to lose weight, try cycling

Filed under: Specialized Bikes — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 5:43 am

Guest post today as I am not a fat, pale pig ;-)

If you are reading this and thinking you need to lose a bit of weight before you get into that bikini/trunks/swimming shorts this summer then read on.  In addition, if you are like me when it comes to the summer you do not want to be seen as a fat pale pig wearing swimming shorts. I for one would at least like to eliminate the pig part of that sentence. So why not treat yourself to one of those bright shiny racing bikes.

The thing is riding a bike is a great way to keep fit and even if you are quite happy with the way that you weigh, riding a bike is a brilliant way to tone up all those muscles. I for one live near the South Downs so a bike like this is perfect for me but even if you do not want to compete then there are so many ways you could enjoy a bike like this.

ANother great thing about having a racing bike is that you can take part in a load of charity events that benefit not only yourself but many other people that you could raise money for which is a thing to be proud of doing. As well as this one of these bikes could seriously help social lives. By meeting other people who are into the same thing as you it is surprising how many of the same hobbies you could have in common.
Of course once you have one of these fantastic bikes you are customise it in anyway you want ranging from bike pedals all the way too zipp wheels.

There really is no limit on how you can alter the bike you have so that it performs in the way that you want it too.

So why not treat yourself this month to a brand new racing bike, their fast, trendy and a lot of fun if you really give it a go.

These top five are not just for the bike but for the owner too when out and about riding. Get those bike pedals ready because here they come.

5.
Energy bar or energy gel.
These are great for before and after events as the put all the carbohydrates your body has lost or is about to lose straight back in making you feel a lot better. There is even a gel that can help build muscles up taking around seven days to work. Of course the gel can also be used on the move.

4. Of course it had to be in the top five, the bike helmet
No professional cyclist can go anywhere without one of these. Only really in the top five simply because it is simply vital to own one.Of course it cannot be forgotten just how many different helmets there are with some even made for hot or cold weather.

3.The mini bicycle computer
Having this is what really makes you a proffessonal cyclist in my opinion. These are so easily attached to the bike and can really help out during a training session.

  • Current Speed
  • Odometer
  • Trip Distance
  • Elapsed time
  • 12/24hr clock
  • Average Speed
  • Pacer
  • Maximum Speed
  • Dual Wheel
  • Temperature
  • Cadence

2. Wheels
At number two simply because I love to change the wheels on my bike. There are thousands of designs to use ranging from the plain wheels that come with every bike or various other ones like zipp wheels.

1.    At number one is the most important thing you need on a long riding trip. There is a reason why I haven't kept mentioning whats at number one and that is simply because it is a boring one.
Water bottle is at number one purely because out of all the things you do not want to be dehydrated when out riding.

Well there you have it, the top five things to take with you and use when using a racing bike.

Bikes shops Sussex is a perfect example, have fun!
