Where can I find a sports store in Dublin with a wide selection of men's mountain bikes?

Posted on 30th June 2009 by admin in mountain bikes

I am looking for a quality men's mountain bike for my husband. Where can I find a sports store or bike shop that would have a wide selection of new bikes available for immediate purchase? Or, where can I find an online retailer IN the Republic of Ireland. (Please do not provide me with UK online web stores.) Thank you!

I'm not familiar with Dublin. So I can't reccommend a store. Where ever you go in the world take your hubby with you so they can fit a bike to him. Your local telephone book should find you a store. If they can't fix you up they wouldn't be in business.(For a speical order it would be fair to wait)

What can I expect from a Mountain Bike Trail?

Posted on 30th June 2009 by admin in mountain bike

I'm planning to go biking in a Mountain Bike Trail but I've never been or seen a mountain bike trail, so I was wondering what will I see once I get there, I mean, are the paths always made of concrete (like a sidewalk) or is it a natural path?
Also I need to buy a bike to go there, what would you recomend me and in what price range are the Mountain Bike Trail bikes?
Thanks in advance.

Real trails are mostly or all dirt, gravel, sand. Hard pack dirt is the best. You will encounter steep short hills and some times long hills depending were you live and ride. Tree roots (very slippery when wet) rocks, small to medium logs to hump over, bumpy rutted down hill are common. Sometimes trails are very narrow between trees with tight turns etc. and small very narrow bridges (hand built) over wet spots are common where I ride. Trails vary widely.

Ask around, trails are rated for difficulty. For a first ride choose the easiest you can find. I don't want to scare you but the 1st time out is an eye-opener for most riders. When I take newbies out I go to the easiest trail which crosses park roads so if they had enough for the day we just ride the road back to the car.

As for the bike, try to buy above the $300 - $400 price range if you really want to trail ride. Wally Mart type bikes will not hold up to the abuse taken on a trail. There OK for once in a while trial rides. Best thing would be to borrow a bike to try it out - trails I mean. If you really like it and are a good athlete spend $600+ to get a bike that will be well equiped to work well under trail conditions. Stay away from duel suspension bikes - they added weight and $$$ and are certainly not needed. They are sold a lot in discount stores because kids (and adults) think there cool.

Make sure you ride on the road to get in at least OK shape and can handle and shift you bike very well. MTB riding requires much more skill than road riding. Finally, go when it's dry.

Can you take a mountain bicycle onto a bus in London?

Posted on 30th June 2009 by admin in mountain bicycles

I need to go fetch a mountain bicycle from someone else in London but would not know how to get back home if I were to cycle it? Would they allow me to take it on the bus for a short route and I will cycle the rest?

Only unless it is a fold up one, or otherwise no!! Then again, some bus drivers make up their own rules, thus if you were not to travel during peak periods, and the bus was empty, and you had an understanding bus driver (very rare) then possibly. But in general, no bikes are not allowed on buses. Can't you take the tube?? Or a taxi??

Who gets to keep the bicycles that are removed from the railings?

Posted on 30th June 2009 by admin in bicycles

I was just wondering - in central London there are a lot of signs that say "bicycles chained here will be removed. When they are removed, who keeps them? Don't worry, this hasn't happened to me - I'm just curious.

they go to police aution as stated, but keep an eye out as down here on the south coast the council are going to get an ebay account to get rid of confiscated goods so all can see them and maybe make a little more money than a small auction!
