Getting Young Bicyclists Ready For the Biking Season.

Victor, NY (PRWEB) January 19, 2011

The spring and summer seasons will see an increase in the number of younger bike riders taking to the streets and sidewalks in our neighborhoods. This is also the time to teach younger bike riders the basics of bike and traffic safety. These organized events are typically called “bike rodeos”.

Bike Rodeos are, in many cases, the only opportunity to educate parents and children about the safety aspects of riding a bicycle on streets and roads. The typical goals of a bike rodeo are to empower young cyclists with a minimal set of skills for on-road riding and to teach them a small subset of the rules of the road sufficient to keep them safe.

Emergency Services Communications has put together a Bike Rodeo Starter Kit to help Bike Safety Instructors and Bike Rodeo sponsoring organizations teach bike and traffic safety to young riders. Our Bike Rodeo Starter Kit was developed after receiving input from several members of the local safety community. The Bike Rodeo Starter Kit consists of 81 pieces of equipment (15 Plastic Traffic / Station Signs, 15 Sign Holders, 50 Saucer Cones and a Storage / Carry Bag.) that can be used to set-up a basic bike rodeo course.

To supplement the kit, additional items are available – such as a 4 sided, manually operated plastic traffic signal that stands 41 inches tall when assembled and collapsible traffic cones.

Small Bicycle Distributor Sues Ralph Lauren Subsidiary For Unfair Business Practices

Club Monaco Advertisement

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) February 4, 2010

A Black Bike, Inc., a small scale bicycle distributor based in Brooklyn, New York, filed a lawsuit in federal court today against the clothing and accessories retailer Club Monaco, Inc., and Koninklijke Gazelle, alleging false advertising, unfair competition, deceptive acts and practices, and trademark and copyright infringement.

The complaint alleges that Club Monaco, a subsidiary of Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation, used images of A Black Bike’s bicycles as the centerpiece of its Spring 2009 advertising campaign, without A Black Bike’s authorization, and while publicly representing that the images were instead bicycles manufactured by the Dutch bicycle company Koninklijke Gazelle.

A Black Bike, founded in 2008, is owned by Muna Whitfield, a fashion model and documentary filmmaker who was born in Kenya and grew up in Holland. A Black Bike garnered significant attention towards the end of 2008, culminating in an article in the “What’s Hot” section of the December 2008 issue of Elle Décor magazine, featuring A Black Bike.

In January of 2009, following the upswing of A Black Bike’s publicity, the complaint alleges that Club Monaco purchased a bicycle from A Black Bike and discussed a national advertising campaign that would feature A Black Bike’s bicycles. Although a deal was never reached, in part because Club Monaco insisted that A Black Bike provide free bicycles for the campaign, the complaint alleges that the A Black Bike bicycle was prominently featured in Club Monaco’s Spring 2009 advertising campaign, without A Black Bike’s authorization. Furthermore, instead of crediting A Black Bike, the complaint alleges that Club Monaco confused consumers by falsely representing that the bike in the campaign was a “Gazelle,” manufactured by the Dutch company, Koninklijke Gazelle, a competitor of A Black Bike.

As evidence of this deception, the complaint points to a New York Times article from April 16, 2009, entitled “Riding the It Factor,” where Club Monaco’s advertising campaign featuring the A Black Bike bicycle garnered national attention. In the article, a Club Monaco executive claims that the bike used in the advertising campaign was in fact a “Gazelle” bike he had discovered while vacationing in England. However, the complaint alleges that the A Black Bike logo on the bicycle is clearly visible in Club Monaco’s Spring 2009 campaign, indicating that the executive’s story about the bike’s origins is inaccurate.

Club Monaco, which placed Gazelle bicycles in its stores in conjunction with the Spring 2009 campaign, claims that it sold a significant quantity of Gazelle bicycles within the first week of the campaign.

Following these events, A Black Bike suffered a large drop in sales due to Gazelle’s benefit from the advertising campaign in the U.S. market.

The complaint was filed in federal district court for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, by A Black Bike’s attorneys at Shlansky & Co., LLP. The case is docket number 10CV893.

Question by uncleclover: I’m considering switching to biking to work. What should I look for in a bike intended for city traffic?
With gas going the way it is, I think the fuel-free options are the best ones. I do mass transit, but see people biking all over the place & would like to get in on it. This would be my first serious biking endeavor for almost 20 years.

Question by qwerty: How many miles should I start out with (biking)?
I just bought a bike (fuji hybrid) and I’m wondering how many miles should I start out doing. I haven’t biked since my teens and even then it was more as a leisure activity than a sport. I would like to get serious about biking this time around.

So how many miles should I start out with? I would like to bike for an hour and burn around 400 calories.
By the way I’m 20, 5’6, 132lb

BikeWearWorld.com is the ‘Shop that We Love’ by Bicycling Magazine

San Diego, CA (Vocus) May 21, 2008

The CEO, Sami Tauber, has been able to conjure up crazy marketing ploys, advertising miracles and capture some amazing video footage. Tauber says that “http://www.BikeWearWorld.com is the chain in the industry for the BMX, Motocross, Mountain, Road, Spin, Track and Triathlon industries.” Tauber originally had the desire to not only sell a catalog online but give back to the community as well. BikeWear World emphasizes health, nutrition, GO Green, and empower businesses with a new riding vehicle – the BikeWear World video zone.

The BikeWear World video zone offers the cycling community a place to advertise a video commercial. With more than 27 countries visiting the site, a business or person is capable of uploading their own video commercial, cool ride, race, or wipeout.

Within the video zone there is a special community that is referred to as Meet My Friends. This community is comprised of mechanics, race directors, athletes, coaches/ trainers/ nutritionists, bike shops, manufacturers, gyms, pools, special events, magazines, personals, and donations/ causes.

BikeWear World offers users the most developed and most advanced site possible. Members are able to receive discounts on bike wear; as well as, upload a video, and discover new cutting edge press release videos from manufacturers, nutritionists, coaches, or race directors. “There are no biking boundaries,” says Tauber.

“My goal is to inspire our community to make video commercial, which is the wave of the future in technology,” says Tauber. Tauber had hired over 400 videographers personally across the nation to walk into bike shops and get the owners to make 2 minute commercials to feature on the site. “The response has been phenomenal. It has been so much fun,” says Tauber. “We have received videos from random cities nationwide.” BikeWear World is obviously trying to position globally and get the 27 countries that already sign in to the site to visit the bike shops that are featured when traveling to those city destinations.

Around the World and twice on Sundays. Outfitting one rider at a time, and from their community to yours.

Keep Dreaming, Keep Pedaling and Ride Hard!
