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

Hiking is free.
Mountain Biking is free (assuming you already have a bike)

Question by Alex: How can i get sponsored biking?
I am 14 and I need money to help pay some bills. I have a 2009 Schwinn Le Tour and I love biking, 2months ago I biked 220miles in 3days. I stopped because I hurt my knee in baseball, but I am better now and can bike just as well. Come spring I was wondering if it was possible for me to get sponsored if so how? And how much could I possible make?

Best answer:

Answer by Your Name
You aren’t going to make any money if you are sponsored @ age 14. In fact you probably have to pay as a registration fee team accessories etc. But you do get discounted stuff you are being sponsored for.
Try joining a local junior cycling team. But I can assure you that you will not make any money unless you are competing at a professional level.
Good luck.

Question by Your Mother: Can someone who is good at biking be good at swimming?
Biking developes your heart and leg muscles the most.
What I mean is if a biker had no experience at swimming and he put himself out there, would he be good?

Any where within 4 to 5 hours of central NY would be ideal…not like Utah or anything. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
