Cycling For Women by Brian Newell
If as a woman planning on taking up bike riding,you feel a little daunted, this article breaks down the bike simply, so everyone can understand.
The workings of all bicycles are basically the same. What differs are the materials used to build the frame and parts.
1. Frame. This is the main component of a bicycle.It is the frame that all of the other parts join to in order to complete the bike. The modern and most common frame design for an upright bicycle is based on the safety bicycle, and consists of two triangles, a main triangle and a paired rear triangle. This is known as the diamond frame.( wikkepedia)The frame is one piece construction and is tubular not solid. There are some 9 variations in frame style with one specifically designed for womens and their dresses.Simply the top bar is angled down so you can maintain your modesty when wearing a dress whilst riding.
As you learn about other parts you'll see why this is so. The frame also offers a number of different construction components eg steel, Aluminium, Alloys, Carbon- Fibre, Thermoplastic, Wood or a combination.
2. Handlebars. It used to be that all handlebars looked like ram horns. You placed your hands on the top to rest your back and the bottom of the curl to go faster because you were more aerodynamic in that position. The handlebars fit into the front part of the frame called the head tube.
3. Bicycle seat. Seats come in all shapes and sizes for a bicycle. The most common shape looks like a banana with hips. The bicycle seat is mounted on a tubular stem that fits inside the bike frame through the seat tube. Bicycles may or may not have a top tube connecting the seat tube to the head tube. It used to be that girl's bikes didn't have this bar to prevent injuries.
4. Wheels. A bicycle has two wheels of varying diameter depending on the type of bike it is. The rear wheel is attached to the bike frame by the chain stay. The front wheel is attached to the frame with a fork attachment that slips into the bottom of the head tube. Some bikes have the fork welded to the frame as a single piece. The wheel itself is a circular metal frame that maintains its shape with spokes that attach to a central hub. The wheel is covered with a rubber tire and an inner tube inside it. Beyond this article, the wheel also ranges from a stock standard offering to a highly technical an piece of equipment.
5. Pedals. How else are you going to make your bike move? The pedals attach at the bottom bracket. The pedals and wheels are connected to each other through gears and a series of chains. Pedals are wide enough for a foot and usually contain grooves to grip the shoe of the wearer. Some bicycles have pedal clips to keep feet from slipping as you ride.
6. Cables. The cables run along the bike frame from the handlebars to the brakes and the gears. The cables are usually attached to the frame to avoid accidents. With the handlebars, you can stop your bike and change gears because of this network of cables. So from a womens point of view , a bike in essence is a pretty simple piece of equipment - once you understand what you actually need. There are many options within the 6 noted points above. It all comes down to what you want. The above points hopefully help you understand a bike, understand that they are not huge pieces of complicated equipment - that anyone can learn to ride a bike
