This year, among others, we stand behind: Ride for Reading Ride For Reading’s mission is to promote literacy and healthy living through the distribution of books via bicycle to children from low-income neighborhoods.

Each wheel assembly includes a rotatable portion connected to its associated tire and a non-rotatable portion connected to the vehicle chassis. A sealed air passageway is provided between an inlet in the non-rotatable portion and an outlet in the rotatable portion of the wheel assembly which is connected to the tire. The sealed air passageway is provided in part by way of a longitudinally extending bore in the spindle which communicates with a chamber defined by a sleeve and a pair of air seals between the sleeve and spindle. A manually actable selector device in the vehicle is provided to permit the user to select one of a plurality of preset air pressure settings for the tires. An air regulating system quickly responds to the selected setting to automatically regulate the air pressure within the tires at the preset pressure associated with the selected setting of the selector device. A master- slave valving arrangement controlled by pilot air is preferably used to perform the inflation or deflation process.

  • Bicycle Flat Tire Changing Clinic at Some Point, You Will Have a Flat Tire
    Bicycle Flat Tire Changing Clinic At some point, you will have a flat tire. Learning to change a flat tire will help you feel more confident while out on the road and the skill may allow you avoid making a call for taxi service. Tool & Supply List Spare tube –in a plastic bag with a small amount of baby powder 2 Tire levers Small hand pump Dollar bill Hand wipes Air cartridges and applicator (optional) Patch kit (optional) Bag to carry it in Spare Tube – Be sure to carry a tube that is specifically sized to your bike’s wheels and has the appropriate valve type; almost all road bikes use the Presta type valve, not the Schraeder. Also note valves come short or long; the shape of your wheel will determine which length you need. If you’re not sure, ask your bike shop mechanic. Give this vital item some extra protection by storing it in sturdy zip lock bag (the heavier type) and make it easier to install by squirting a small amount of baby powder into the bag before putting the tube in. The powder-y tube will mount into the tire far easier than one just out of the factory box it came in. Tire Levers – You’ll need only two, even though they come in sets of three. Look for nylon, sturdy models and leave the metal type at home in your shop, no need for the weight. Small Pump – We usually mount these to our frames, but some prefer to carry in a pack.

  • Tire - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Tire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire Tire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A tire (or tyre ) is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel's rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance. Most tires, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, provide traction between the vehicle and the road while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock. The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a tread and a body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, the first versions of tires were simply bands of metal that fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear and tear. Early rubber tires were solid (not pneumatic). Today, the majority of tires are pneumatic inflatable structures, comprising a doughnut-shaped body of cords and wires encased in rubber and generally filled with compressed air to form an inflatable cushion. Pneumatic tires are used on many types of vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, earthmovers, and aircraft. Metal tires are still used on locomotives and railcars, and solid rubber (or Stacked and standing car tires other polymer) tires are still used in various non-automotive applications, such as some casters, carts, lawnmowers, and wheelbarrows.
