Tips on how to improve and get the most from your cycling

Lots of people like to ride bicycles, many have difficulties in maintaining and bring out the best of their bicycle and cycling experiences. Some spend lots of money to reduce weight and get fit.

I use to ride hours at East Coast Park with only one leg. Below are the secrets of bring out the best of your bicycle:

You can enjoy your riding , improve your health and watching the beautiful scenery at the same time. Very soon you will not even know that you had been riding for hours because time past so fast.

This method is good for those who don't have the much discipline of regular exercise. And wish to stay healthy and fit.

A few factors affect the smooth running of a bike. At heart of the wheel, which the ball-bearings were support by two nuts from both sides, the nuts should not set too tight, if too tight the bike difficult to move, too loose the wheel wobble.

The ball-bearings needed to spray with the aerosol base chemical to neutralise the negative effects of foreign materials and deposits a thin film on the surface. It needed to be sprayed regularly because very soon rust and foreign particles will accumulate to retard the smooth running of the bike.

The rim the spokes from both sides need to be set so that when it turn, it won't till too much to one side and not wobbling.

And spreading of special lubricants on all the moving parts.

It's the same principles whether apply to cars or printing machines.

If done properly the machinery will run in tip top conditions, with the little energy.

To test the principles.

When a bicycle is not maintain for a certain periods of times. The wheels is much more difficult to move.

The bicycle repair shop will use a U- shaped device to check the alignment of the rim and use a small wrench to adjusted the tensions of spokes of rim, back to its shape and adjusts the nuts of the shafts of the wheel accordingly and lubricate it.

After that when he turn the wheels it seems like the wheel can turn perpetually with little effort. If the settings done at its best.

It runs much faster and longer.

That's why I can ride my economical bike with only one leg and without using his hands to hold the handlebar, long distances and navigate through obstacles just like a normal persons riding a bike normally. See photos of amazing bicycles feats, click recordbreaking feats.

It will be more safe to ride a bike if is well maintain as less energy need to ride it. I had spent most part of my life finding ways to maximise the the use and potential of machinery.

As India and China industrialise, there will huge demand on oil.

With Singapore targeted population of 6.5 millions and 17 millions tourists. These will put more pressure on the demand for space, oil, transport & the environment etc.

More innovations and creatives ideas is need to cope up with the changes.

Hope that more people use bicycles as their mode of transport, because of today rising oil price, it's good to the health and environmental friendly.

I choose walking because it is easy to accomplish, I combine my interest in look at shops to exercises. Once when I was in San Francisco. I explore the Chinatown with an elderly couples. At seven o'clock pm they want to call it a day. So I miss the chance of seeing more things.

I prefer the walk as much on my own the explore the cities, I may not be able to come back to see the place again. So I need to see the place as much as I can.

Many might not had the discipline to do a vigorous workout. I recommend start your walking programs. You might later slowly build up to longer distances.

My routines consists of 3 day a week. of walking around the cities areas and shopping. I don't felt much difficulties. By walking around see new things time past very fast and make me feel happy.
