How wide should handlebars be?

How wide should handlebars be? Downhill riders think that the wider it is the better.

A wider handlebar can give you more control and slows down steering of your bicycle downhill. When your hands are spread wide over the handlebar, your chest is not obstructed, making it easier for you to breathe as you cycle uphill. 

So, how extreme are you?

You can purchase bicycle handlebars from Amazon.  Just make sure that you choose the right model and length, which can be from 680 to 740mm.

How to increase participation in races?

Some racers join events because of the freebies they are going to get.  Some are motivated to bring home a trophy.  The more unique the design of the trophy is, the more it will be appreciated.

Will this design makes the list to collector's item?  It is an eco creation.  Racers decide.

May it also inspire organisers to think outside the box when making choices in give-aways for events.

When the bicycle is too childish...

When your child is younger, there is a tendency for him or her to prefer a bicycle that have cartoons or attachments to it that would make it look very kiddie.

By the time he is seven years old, he may still be able to ride on it, provided, that is, he does not feel awkward still ridding it.

This is what you can do to extend the life of your children's bicycle.

1) Remove any attachment on it that looks kiddie.

2) Change the handle bar and grip if required.

Now take a look.  The modified bicycle looks much better now for an older child, right?
