The “RAMBLER” Clinton River Riders Bicycle Club The “RAMBLER” January/February Officers 2 0 0 6 President Bill Stimpson 586-899-4763 Clinton River Riders Bicycle Club [email protected] It’s funny, but as you read this, the Square Dance put on by Ride Director Art Meerhaeghe is a distant memory. We had a good time Bill Baker 586-739-0261 doing this annual event and yet it won’t occur until 6 hours CRRrides@wideopenwest. after I write this. So for me the dance is in the “future” and com for you the dance is in “past”. It’s in two time zones at once. Take the picture at the right. This club member, who Treasurer is legally one of the country’s first baby boomers, is getting Annette Smith ready to enter a new time zone evidenced by the length of 248-652-2278 her antennae's. But as she reads this, her antennae will have [email protected] fallen off and she will now exist in that new time zone. Secretary Tom Hill Speaking of time zones you’ll notice this month’s newslet- 586-293-0162 ter says “January/February”. You might be asking yourself [email protected] how can he write about February when it isn’t even here. But if I can write about a square dance that hasn’t hap- Editor pened for me but has happened for you than I suppose I can Gary Haelewyn write about February that hasn’t happened for me or for 586-286-5094 you. However, if you wait until February to read this than [email protected] it too will be like the square dance and Marilyn’s antennae. Publishers Confused? So am I, so lets move on. Bill & Julie Windhorst 586-939-6073 There’s plenty of new stuff in here to pique your interest [email protected] and make you stop and think. Take for instance a “Ride of Silence”. Can you imagine doing a 12 mile group ride where now one talks or complains? There’s also Sunshine a “Ride for Hope” but Bob will not be there. They say titanium is light, like aluminum but strong and Julie Windhorst flexible like steel. A titanium bike can pass other riders like the wind. We now have a club member 586-939-6073 with a titanium leg. Imagine the wind he can pass! [email protected] Legislative Liaison You’ve heard of the “Two Men and a Truck” delivery system. Well now meet the “One Man and Two Mike Sproul Wheels” delivery system. There is a book out that explains in words and pictures how to deliver re- 586-443-4544 frigerators and beds with your bicycle.

HINT: Don’t let Marilyn Taran- Jim Crawford tino see you whimpering up some hill especially if you are “over the hill”. 586-677-7033 [email protected] And finally for your amusement, here are some comments from some cyclists riding in a recent New Librarian York City Critical Mass ride.

Club Address 20584 Hall Rd PMB 247 “The SOHO ride was exhilarating. Small, tight group, keeping on small, one-way side streets -- this Clinton Twp MI 48038 worked well. It was pretty clear they didn't have extra cops handy to put in front of us, or behind.

    2014/06: Should there be severe restrictions placed on cyclists sharing ... file:///C:/DPfinal/schools/adocs/doca2014/2014bikes/2014bikes.php 2014/06: Should there be severe restrictions placed on cyclists sharing roads with motorised vehicles? What they said... 'Bicycles reduce traffic congestion because they use road space more efficiently than cars' The Greens Bicycle Action Plan for Victoria 'A bit like smoking, if the idea of riding bicycles on the open road was invented today, it would be banned' Michael Pascoe, contributing editor to The Sydney Morning Herald The issue at a glance On January 1, 2014, it was announced that despite record low fatality rates across the country for motorists, 2013 had seen record high rates for the number of cyclists being killed. This apparent anomaly has led commentators, lobby groups and various state governments to consider a variety of measures to increase cyclists' safety. On January 17, 2014, Michael Pascoe, a contributing editor to The Sydney Morning Herald proposed that Australian governments might 'extend the culture of enforced safety to greater regulation of where and when people are allowed to cycle'. The idea that severe restrictions be placed on when and where cyclists can cycle is not new. Former New South Wales Roads Minister, Carl Scully, stated in 2009, 'I believed riding a bike on a road was profoundly unsafe and that where I could I would shift them [cyclists] to off road cycle ways.' Such a proposal has been welcomed by many motorists and some cyclists; however, it has been rejected by others as unduly limiting, unfeasible and too expensive.

Mention of the word and you usually conjure up the image of licking stamps with the excitement of watching cheese age. Put “Mountain Bike” in front of Advocacy and it should pull it up from the depths with more inviting mental pictures like “sweet single track” and “gnarly down- hill”. But alas, for most people, it does not. This describes the root difficulty faced by advocates while recruiting vol- unteers. Advocacy and mountain biking seem to be residing on two different planets. Yet advocacy is what pays the dues to provide us with the opportunities to ride some great trails. Given the appeal of advocacy, it’s hard to imagine that we have any trails at all. But we do, thanks to the individuals and groups who are willing to put in the time and pay the dues. Even with odds sometimes stacked against them, volunteers tirelessly push forward, through endless meetings, letters, education and plain old grunt work, so every moun- tain cyclist has the opportunity to ride. While this does not paint the most Advocacy continues on page 2 Advocacy continued from page 1 ence. Far from it. All that’s needed is countless mountain bike riders and attractive picture, it does illustrate that the willingness to help out.

Bicycling is also an attractive transportation choice for getting to and from work, running errands, and going to school. Bicycles are legally considered “vehicles” on Colorado’s roadways, so be sure you know the rules of the road and be respectful of all road users. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) encourages you to take a few minutes to review this booklet and share the information with family and friends. This bicycling safety guide explains the rules of the road, provides tips about biking and shares with you the basic guidelines about cycling on Colorado roadways. Bike Safely and Share the Road! BICYCLING IN COLORADO Every person’s transportation choice counts! We all need to be conscious of and courteous to other individuals when sharing our roadways. Remember, streets and trails are for everyone and sharing is more than good manners! A bicyclist in Colorado has all the rights and responsibilities applicable to the driver of any other vehicle. That means bicyclists must obey the rules of the road like other drivers, and are to be treated as equal users of the road. Bicyclists, like motorized drivers, can be ticketed or penalized for not obeying the laws.

  • Flatbed Bicycle Trailer
    instructables Flatbed Bicycle Trailer by Tsanabe A bicycle trailer is a great way to increase the carrying capacity of a bicycle. This tutorial will show how to create a flatbed bicycle trailer using recycled items without the need to weld. Step 1: Step 2: Repurpose Items Destined for the Landfill I picked up an old baby stroller that was well used but no longer functional. I instantly knew that I wanted to make a bicycle trailer with it. I also was able to use parts off of an old golf caddy to make the arm that connects the trailer to the back of the bicycle. It is always a bonus to make things using discarded items and give them new life. Flatbed Bicycle Trailer: Page 1 Step 3: Remove Unneeded Components From the Stroller To create the bed of the trailer, start by removing the Next use a small punch to drive the rivet body into the handle from the stroller and then remove the footrest tube and free the footrest from the stroller handle from the handle. (Photo 2). The footrest is attached with rivets. To remove the Remove the cushion grip from the stroller handle and rivets, I used an electric drill and a self-drilling sheet remove the hook and loop fasteners from the handle metal screw to drill through the rivet head. It works as seen in Photo 3. The handle will be used to form just as well as using a drill bit and it saves my drill the frame of the trailer bed. bits from wear.

Shaft drives were introduced over a century ago, but were mostly supplanted by chain-driven bicycles due to the gear ranges possible with sprockets and derailleur. Recently, due to advancements in internal gear technology, a small number of modern shaft-driven bicycles have been introduced. The shaft drive only needs periodic lubrication using a grease gun to keep the gears running quiet and smooth. This “chainless” drive system provides smooth, quite and efficient transfer of energy from the pedals to the rear wheel. It is attractive in look compare with chain driven bicycle. It replaces the traditional method. Keywords – Bevel Gears, Shaft drive, Dynamometer, Chainless technology, Reliable and Durable I. INTRODUCTOIN II.
