Partnership & membership: 2 www.balticbike.lt Dear Cycling Friends, We are pleased to introduce you to this 2017 catalogue offering a wide range of cycle travels organised by BALTIC BIKE TRAVEL (BBT) which is the only incoming tour operator in Lithuania specializing in cycling holidays and nature trips. We are experts on cycling and other kind of active holidays in the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) and neighboring countries since 2001. In this catalogue, we present our top product - guaranteed departure GUIDED GROUP CYCLE TOURS covering two or three Baltic countries (pp. 6-8). Besides Lithuania, a route of our newest tour (p. 9) covers Poland and mysterious Belarus. All tours combine sightseeing in cities like the Baltic capitals - Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn - and exploring nature wonders like the Curonian Spit sand dunes and the Nemunas River Delta’s birdlife in Lithuania, deep valleys of the Gauja River in Latvia, stony seasides of Lahemaa National Park and impressive Saaremaa Island in Estonia, Augustow Canal in Belarus and Masurian Lakeland in Poland, etc. You are welcome to join our Baltic group tours where cyclists from different countries travel together. These groups are guided by experienced local guides speaking German, English and Russian. By the way, most of our tours are guaranteed with minimum 2 participants and trips are not cancelled at a short notice like many other tour operators do! After booking the tour you are free to book your flights as early as possible in order to get the best deal available. Average group size on our tours with one guide is from 12 to 21 people, with two guides – up to 25 people. This catalogue contains a wide selection of SELF-GUIDED CYCLE TOURS too. The most popular self- guided routes connect the capital cities of the Baltic countries with our base town of Klaipėda on the Lithuanian Seaside known as the cyclists’ paradise. When choosing the route for your holiday we always suggest to start with an impressive tour along the Lithuanian Seaside (p.14) or 9-day tour along the Nemunas River from the capital to the seaside of Lithuania (p.15). If you want to explore all three Baltic countries at once go for 11-day half-guided tour from Tallinn to Vilnius with Lahemaa National Park (p.12) or the newest tour with Saaremaa Island in opposite direction - from Vilnius to Tallinn (p.13). For those who are more interested in Slavic cultures, we can offer our cycle travels through Poland, Kaliningrad District (Russia) and Grodno region in Belarus, which is a visa free zone since last year!. Belarus still remains a blank spot on the map for many foreigners, but our newest three countries guided circular tour in Lithuania, Poland and Belarus could fill up this gap (p.9). If you wish to see Kaliningrad, there is a choice from the two countries circular tour around the Curonian Lagoon, starting & finishing in Klaipėda (p.20), and the three countries tour along the Baltic coast from Klaipėda to Gdansk (p.21). On most self-guided tours you can take your own cycles or to hire ours. There are over 300 quality trekking cycles, modern E-bikes (Pedelec) and many tourist equipment of well known brands as well as several cycle trailers and minibuses waiting for our guests in our garage. For families with children we offer a wide range of tourist equipment from cycles with 24“ size wheels to special 2-seat trailers and trailer- bikes. We’d like to thank all our loyal customers and sincerely invite for the new adventures with Baltic Bike Travel! Yours cycling Saulius Ružinskas & BALTIC BIKE TRAVEL Team www.Baltikum-Radreisen.euwww.balticbike.lt 3 Tourist information and our cycle tour services LEGEND Individual self-guided tour: You may plan your day as you like. Our maps and route descriptions will show you the right way. Group guided tour: Travelling with the group and being accompanied by a minibus and cycling tour guide. Circular tour: Regular relocation from hotel to hotel, but finally returning to the starting point. E-bike/Pedelec: On tours with this logo you can rent a pedal electric cycle (Pedelec) - a type of bicycle where the rider‘s pedalling is assisted by a small electric motor Guaranteed departures: Plan your vacation in advance. We guarantee departures even on group tours with minimum 2 participants if you travel with us on fixed dates. We make it happen! Entry with passport: For travels to the Baltic Countries and Poland a valid identity card is enough for people from many countries. For trips to Russia most people need a passport with a valid visa. TOUR PLANNING We design bike tours to take you on the most appealing cycling routes, as much as possible away from major roads and along beautiful scenic trails where you can experience nature. You may book one or more of our ready made cycle tour packages, combining them into one longer route, for example, Klaipėda-Riga (p. 16) & Riga-Tallinn (p. 17), or ask for an individual tour program. Be patient to wait longer to get ready the tailored tour program with services as it takes time to receive all confirmations from our partner hotels and tour op- erators. Often smaller guesthouses and B&Bs which are the only option in certain areas have limited space, then we have to redesign the tour program or ask you to change the travel dates. Most of our cycle tours, even group tours, are guaranteed with minimum 2 participants and trips are not cancelled at a short notice like many other tour operators do! After booking the tour you are free to book your flights as early as possible in order to get the best deal available. ARRIVAL For cyclists coming to travel in the Baltics with own bikes we reccommend using ferry lines and book them through us: Lithuania: DFDS Seaways: Kiel (Germany) – Klaipėda, Karlshamn (Sweden) – Klaipėda Latvia: Stena Line: Travemünde (Germany) – Liepaja or Ventspils, Tallink Silja Line: Stockholm (Sweden) – Riga or Tallinn Estonia: Finnlines: Travemünde – Helsinki (Finland) and Tallink Silja Line / Viking Line: Helsinki – Tallinn For other travellers the most convenient is flying to Palanga (Klaipėda), Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn and Gdansk where our bike tours start or finish.

During about the quarter of the century that has elapsed after regaining independence, our scientific landscape has changed radically. The lion’s share of research work is integrated with providing university education. The targets for the following seven years were defined at the very start of the year, in the document adopted by Riigikogu (Parliament) on January 22, 2014 and entitled “Estonian research and development and innovation strategy 2014- 2020. Knowledge-based Estonia”. It starts with the acknowledgement familiar to all of us that the number and complexity of challenges faced by the society is ever increasing.

    International Journal of Advance Research in Engineering, Science & Technology(IJAREST), ISSN(O):2393-9877, ISSN(P): 2394-2444, Volume 2,Issue 5, May- 2015 , Impact Factor:2.125 DYNAMIC CHAINLESS BICYCLE Mayur Linagariya1,Dignesh Savsani2 1 Mechanical Department, Noble Group Of Institute, Junagadh, [email protected] 2 Mechanical Department, Noble Group Of Institute, Junagadh, [email protected] Abstract A shaft-driven bicycle is a bicycle that uses a driven shaft instead of a chain to transmit power from the pedals to the wheel. 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. WORKING The shaft connected between the pair of The shaft connected between the pair of spiral spiral bevel gears. The main application of the bevel gears. The main application of the spiral spiral bevel gear is in a vehicle differential, where bevel gear is in a vehicle differential, where the the direction of drive from the drive shaft must be direction of drive from the drive shaft must be turned 90 degrees to drive the wheels.
