Hobby cyclist, Adina Jones is pedaling toward the future of biking; she leads by example as she cruises the city streets on her fast-folding bike. This revolutionary advancement promotes an innovative anti-theft system, which stems from its foldable, easily transportable structure.

“The front wheel comes right off – you can even do it one-handed – and then you open the frame quick release to fold the bike in half; it couldn’t be easier and no tools or instructions are needed,” she said.

Inspired by the ease of travel and transport the folding bikes provide, Jones set out to spread the news with the creation FastFoldingBikes.com.Here, online shoppers may browse through a collection of pavement and mountain bikes manufactured by Montague and Swissbike – all which offer convenient portability and security.

“My friends and I agree that our biggest concern with biking is leaving it outside; locks get broken and bikes get stolen,” Jones said. “Folding bikes are full-sized but can be compacted easily so the cyclist can take it inside and leave their worries at the door.”

The Web site also provides a handful of accessories to enhance one’s biking experience. A bag to store the foldable bike, making it easier to transport, a kickstand and foldable pedals may be purchased.

E+ Electric Bikes Announces New E+ Customs Series Electric Bikes and Launch of Fit-Your-Bike Electric Bike Conversion Program

Dulles, VA (PRWEB) July 1, 2010

E+ Electric Bikes announced today the introduction of the new E+ Customs Series electric bikes for sale. Until now, the E+ electric system has been available on four styles of E+ electric bikes – electric mountain bikes,electric beach cruiser bikes, commuter bikes, and high performance folding electric bikes. “These are great styles, but there are many other attractive styles and designs,” said Jason Seybold, E+ Sales Manager. “With the new E+ Customs Series, there are 19 additional styles and designs to choose from, all from well known bike manufacturers such as Trek, Cannondale, Ellsworth, Schwinn, and Day6. And if you’re interested in another frame design, we can do that too,” said Seybold.

Along with a new and expanded frame variety, pricing has become more flexible as well. “The E+ Customs Series allows us to greatly expand our price offerings, with fourteen models now in the two thousand dollar range. This is about what you would pay for many of the 250-500 watt offerings now appearing on the market. Why pay so much for an underpowered disappointment when you can have the luxury and power of an E+ electric bike with your favorite frame style, like an E+ Schwinn electric bike and an E+ Trek mountain bike?” said Seybold.

In addition to the Customs Series, E+ also launched the new Fit-Your-Bike Electric Bike Conversion Program today. Through the program, bikers with non-electric bikes can easily have their favorite bikes converted into electric bicycles by simply shipping their favorite bike to E+. The full featured E+ electric bike conversion kits can be installed on most bike frames. “E+ Flex Kits fit right into the E+ concept of making e-bikes exciting, reliable, and accessible,” said Seybold. “There’s no need to settle for something clunky or underpowered, or even for a color you don’t like. With E+ electric bike kits, you can have the style, color, features, and performance you want. No compromises.”

The design of the E+ system makes such a range of styles possible. The electric bicycle motor and battery are integrated into the center of the rear and front wheels of the bike. ‘”We remove the standard wheels and replace them with E+ front and rear wheels, then add the necessary cables running along or inside the frame, and the computer controller and display,” said Ric Ruggiero, E+ Production Manager. “No one else can do that – it opens a whole new world of style and design possibilities.”

The E+ electric propulsion system (motor, battery, computer controller and display) produces by far the world’s best electric bicycles and fastest electric bikes. It offers the power people need for an enjoyable eBike experience (750 watts or 1000 watts), and the quality and reliability people expect. In addition, it has features that most people don’t expect, like cruise control and fitness exercise mode.

To introduce the E+ Customs Series and the new Fit-Your-Bike Electric Bike Conversion program, E+ is offering for a limited time $ 150 off the purchase of any E+ Customs Series electric bike or free installation of an electric bike conversion kit onto a bike of your choice.

All E+ products are designed, assembled, and tested in the USA. “E+ is not an overpriced, underpowered collection of other peoples’ components,” says Ruggiero.” We designed the entire system here, and we assemble and test every one here. We’re proud of that. And the result is incomparable performance, no noise, and no pollution.”

E+ Customs Series electric bikes and E+ electric bike kits are available from authorized E+ electric bike dealers nationwide or direct from Electric Motion Systems, the makers of E+. Check the E+ Electric Bikes website for details.

Recumbent Bikes offer a Unique Exercise Option

Recumbent bikes are an alternative kind of exercise bike that offers advantages in certain circumstances. Like regular exerercise bikes, recumbent bikes can provide a good cardiovascular workout, strengthen and tone muscles and burn calories. Their unique position and design however differs from upright stationary exercise bikes and provides a slightly different type of workout.

Recumbent bikes are designed for working out in a horizontal position. They feature a wide, adjustable seat that slides and a backrest. There are handgrips on the sides of the bike and on the console area instead of regular bike handlebars.

Unlike regular bikes that require an upright position, the legs stretch out in front of the body in a horizontal position on a recumbent bike. The legs stay horizontal during pedaling in recumbent bike workouts.

One big advantage of the unique design of recumbent bikes is that it takes pressure off the back. Upright bike pedaling can stress the knees as well as the lower back, while working out on recumbent bikes is usually safe and comfortable for those with back or joint injuries or issues.

Individuals that are significantly overweight often find recumbent bikes easier to use than upright bikes. They are easier to get on and off and they don’t involve as much balance as upright exercise bikes do. Their stability and the comfortable exercise position also makes recumbent bikes a popular choice with seniors.

The recumbent bike posture also prevents hunching over the handlebars as people sometimes do with upright bikes. You’ll maintain good posture throughout the entire workout on a recumbent bike, so you reap all the rewards you possibly can from exercising.

Although you can read, watch TV or workout your upper body while exercising on an upright bike, it’s even easier to do so with recumbent bikes. Since you’re firmly seated, you don’t need a great deal of strength or balance to hold yourself in place and continue to exercise hands-free on a recumbent bike. It is much easier to use lightweights for upper body exercises which can make workouts even more productive.

Anyone interested in purchasing a recumbent bike should try one out first at a fitness gym. Different models have different features, and it’s important to make the right choice with a recumbent bike based on personal preferences. Although stationary bikes are sometimes viewed as replacable fitness equipment items, recumbent bikes are often used and owned long term.

Upright Exercise Bikes Have A Lot Of Positives

Upright exercise bikes provide a number of important benefits to users, no matter what their level of fitness or fitness goals. Fitness experts and personal trainers are discovering that it delivers fast results and is highly effective for getting overweight people on the right track to better health and fitness when aerobic exercise is too intense for them in the beginning.

Upright exercise bikes are generally cheaper then recumbent exercise bikes and they will take up less room in your home fitness gym or commercial gym. When it comes to price, exercise bike shoppers can expect to pay anywhere from a low of about 0 to 00 or more for a high end fitness center quality machine.

Because upright exercise bikes have small seats that lack back support, they may cause back pain or a sore bottom for those just beginning a fitness program. The recumbent style is more popular among people who are just beginning a fitness program or who have back issues, as the support provided by the seats in these exercise bikes is significantly better than that found in upright exercise bikes.

Upright Exercise Bikes

Upright exercise bikes are the closest to a standard bicycle, that is the pedals are beneath the rider, and the rider is seated on a narrow seat with the handlebars out in front. On the downside, upright exercise bikes can be uncomfortable to ride for prolonged periods unless you’re used to riding your road bike, that’s especially true on the cheaper bikes (under 0) that have marginal seats at best. Some upright exercise bikes offer a “dual action” feature, which means that the handlebars move so that you can work your upper body while you pedal.

If you’re ready to buy your first piece of home gym equipment, an upright exercise bike is a great choice. An upright exercise bike is one of the most basic, easy to use types of exercise equipment on the market. You can watch TV, listen to the radio, read or even play video games if you like on an upright exercise bike.

Even lower priced upright exercise bikes tend to feature some sort of workout programming. An upright exercise bike won’t take up much room in your home, so they are a great choice for those with space limitations.

Upright exercise bikes are one of the least expensive forms of stationary exercise, priced considerably less than treadmills. Upright exercise bikes are usually the most affordable, take up less room than a recumbent and offer a more familiar cycling action to the majority of people.

Upright Exercise Bikes Workout

Different models of upright exercise bikes will come with different weight ratings, and it is important to choose one that is capable of supporting your pre-workout weight.  It is also a good idea to look for an exercise bike that provides an adjustable workout. Adjustable tension will help make the workouts more intense as your fitness level increases, providing continual challenges as your level of fitness improves.

For those who want to workout in the comfort of their own home, a stationary bike is the answer. For those who want this type of cardiovascular workout at home, purchasing an indoor cycle is surprisingly cost-effective. Because there is not a lot of bouncing around when you ride a stationary exercise bike, it makes it easy to watch TV, listen to music, or read a book while you workout. This makes exercise bike workouts perfect for those who are prone too, or recovering from, sports injuries.

However, these fitness devices are actually convenient machines, used for working out in the safety of a gym or at home, in a more private, air conditioned environment, protected from dangerous UV rays and atmospheric pollutants. A heart rate monitor is a great way to track your progress and gauge the intensity of the workout.

Smart shopping is required when buying home fitness equipment because it is normally a long-term investment. Find out more aboutUpright Exercise Bikes

Why Upright Exercise Bikes

The best upright exercise bikes compare in many ways to recumbent bikes but differ in a few key ways that may make them better for some people. Though the cheap exercise bikes are often upright models, some of the most expensive stationary bikes are of the upright type as well. That suggests that the preferences you have may be part of why one bike type may be more useful to you than another. Here are some of the reasons that an upright bike may suit some better.

Seating position is one basic difference between bike types. Not everybody likes the reclining, lying down, posture of the recumbent ride. As a comparison, upright bikes feel much more like a road bike. Especially for road bicycle users who want to maintain condition inside, the upright is the clear choice as a fitness exercise closest to riding a bike on the road.

But the riding positions also means the seat on an upright is quite critical. That’s so because all the body weight gets concentrated on small areas of the seat which for some riders leads to pain and discomfort. That means the bike seat is very important and must be designed properly. In addition, back troubles often are aggravated by upright positions much more so than the reclined position that results from recumbent bike seating position.

Here’s another basic factor for owning an upright bike. It’s the space requirement. Generally the much smaller footprint of the bikes compared to recumbents means much easier storage as well as easier moving in many cases. Large recumbents almost demand dedicated space since moving the machines is more difficult and storage space requirements are quite large as well.

Getting astride of bikes also differs by type as well. better or worse. Recumbents mostly make getting over the frame bar of no consequence. They do often have a down and up move to get in the seat or on the seat is more like it. Uprights are more just a step over and you’re on but there is sometimes some up movement required to get seated. In general though, most uprights are easy on and easy off as are recumbents. Seating position then becomes more a matter of personal preference.

Then there is the matter of price. The very least costly exercise bikes are usually uprights. Lightweight, cheap bikes are usually junk. Move up to mid-range uprights such as the Schwinn upright bikes and the quality is superior to lesser bikes. The mid level bikes offer superior construction to the cheap bikes and additional features as well. In fact the mid-range stationary machines offer the exact same drives as the comparable recumbents just in a different layout.

Cheap upright exercise bikes lack the quality to be useful. Better uprights rival recumbent bikes especially if you prefer the position and need smaller storage requirements. Exercise bike fitness at home can be had with a moderate price bike easy to store and easy to own. Another alternative to the typical magnetic drive resistance system is the dual action exercise bike for arm and shoulder workouts as well as cardio conditioning and lower body toning.

A Schwinn Airdyne exercise bike is one upright bike different in design and function.
