I have been recommending this site to friends like crazy lately and most of them have even less knowledge about bikes than I do. Hard to believe. I have been asked questions about some terms that are used and have been able to answer, but it made me wonder if there is a glossary of terms...

Forgive me if this has been answered before. I searched the site and still have a couple of questions that perhaps someone can answer. First I noticed that Amazon offers Aosom 48V 1000W in front and rear wheel conversions. Is there any major drawback/advantage to a FWD setup? It looks like it...

I hope this okay to post a link. I was looking at the pedicabs that are all over downtown Austin and asked one of the guys where they get their parts. I would like an opinion if these are feasible for use on a board tracker style bike? http://shop.pedicab.com/26-triple-clamp-fork/ If not is...

I bought this bike a couple years ago at a junk shop for $20. At the time it had dry rotted tires and the tubes were melted. When I tried to replace them I found the wheels were rusted pretty badly as well. Since then it has sat, quietly mocking me. I recently went by the bike farm and they had...

I went to Walmart with my son to get him a new mountain bike. While there, this Schwinn sort of followed me home. I bought it mostly because I thought it looked kind of cool. I've ridden only for short distances, maybe a 1/2 mile or so at a time so my review is more about appearance than...

I came across a Travis Pastrana Motobike, free to a good home, yesterday on the north side of Austin. It's missing one of the number plate side panels and the rear disc brake is frozen up. I haven't found any info on this type of bike. Will probably give it away or donate it as I have too many...

I found this Mongoose mountain bike by the dumpster of our apartment. It was missing the seat, post, and needed tires, but otherwise seemed okay. I took it to the Austin Bike Farm Co-op and they fixed it up and tuned it for $20. Don't know much about this brand, but for 20 bucks, I can't...

I have been thinking of putting one of the Whizzer style kits on my Schwinn. I asked at the DMV and they said if it was under 50cc no license was needed. I asked later at the state trooper station and they said any gas motor device had to be registered and you had to be licensed to operate. I...

I was an enthusiastic follower of this site and had 19 bikes and frames in various stages of decay until we moved from a nice garage with a decent house attached to it to Austin, Texas where we have a decent apartment with a small patio. After that I stayed away from this website because it hurt...

Hi to all from Cisco Texas. My name is Gary and I have just discovered your site. It is great. I got laid off a while back and needed something to stay busy. I have an AMF Texas Ranger 26" bike that I just bought, it is in great condition except that the coaster brake is not working. I have been...
