Trifecta makes adult trikes also you can look at recumbent bikes. walmart has a trike on its website you can look at but also look at bike shops they should have alternative bikes for adults. If they are not in stock they should have literature. If you care for a 2 wheel bike you can get one with a shorter tire height in almost any store, the better brands have different frame and wheel sizes to adjust fit. The reason for a larger bike is to maximize the stride while riding. Usually you want to be able to place both feet on the ground while standing off the seat. Your best stride is with the toes/balls of feet on pedal and leg fully extended at the bottom of the rotation, but you can get by with a shorter stride if you  want more safety because of the braces. Go to a good bicycle shop and get as much info from them as you can as to styles of bikes fit and so on.

You may want to consider buying a normal road bike with an indoor trainer. This approach would allow you to have the best of both worlds.

Try the "Shape of Your Life" program by Outside magazine.  This program has you working on endurance, speed, stamina, strength, and balance.  All of these will improve your cycling.\n\nAlso, interval workouts on the bike will make you faster and stronger.  There are a lot of good sources describing these types of workouts.  These are relatively short workouts that yield huge returns.

First, any Haro is a GREAT bike. I own a bike shop and haro's are hard to get because people always buy them. they can easily be upgraded.If you are looking for a flatland freestyle bike, go check out www.flatlandfuel.com. The KHE, KGB, and DK's anre good, but the best beginner bike is the DK signal. For your purposes, the Nyquist 3 is a great choice.

I have been cycling for about 15 years. The best way to train for cycling is to be a 'spinner' not a 'grinder'. A spinner is someone who is constantly pedaling. The key to being a spinner (i have found) is train your body/mind to downshift BEFORE you need it. If you are pedalling and you think that there is 'too much resistance' at the pedal (aka--that the pedal is getting hard to push) then you are downshifting too late. Lance Armstrong is a excellent example of a spinner. \nA grinder is someone who uses a higher gear that generates a lot of power, but generally that uses a lot more energy from pushing a higher gear.\n\nMy personal favorite way to keep my spinning technique up is to use a computer that measures your cadence. Normal bicycle computers mount a sensor on your front tire and fork. This measures how fast you go, but you could ride a down a mountain at 25 mph without pedalling much--and that would not necessarily be a good overall training indicator. A computer with cadence mounts on your crank and it measures crank rpm. If money is no object, you can get gear that measures the amount of watts you are producing. This can get pretty pricy though. \n\nHope this helps you out.\n\nIf you have any more questions (need gear recommendations or anything). Feel free to email me at whostolemymojo at yahoo . com\n\n=)\n\nOh and to answer your original question. I watch a lot of cycling on t.v. myself. Most riders maintain a constant (fairly constant) pedal cadence. This definitely varies when they are riding in a pack as drafting or obstacles (riders in front and/or on both sides of you) take place. You might have to coast/stop your cadence momentarily in those circumstances. Also, weather, terrain--down a steep mountain grade, curves, etc can affect you as well. Watch more racing and see how often most guys pedal. You will notice it is almost always non-stop when there is no outside factors hindering their progress. The key to cycling is to go as fast as you can while expending as little energy in the process--hence drafting is a great way to conserve energy for the sprint at the end of a race.\nUnfortunately, if you are training for triathlons, you will not have the good fortune of drafting--triathlons have many rules prohibiting drafting.\n\nGood luck!

You need to supply a bit more detail. What sort of biking? Do you mean cycling or motorbike riding? If cycling, do you mean tips on handling, ride, maintenance, technique, skills, fitness, touring, racing, equipment etc?\n\nA good general book about all aspects of cycling is Richard's Bicycle Book.

As a former bike shop employee and NORBA racer I can tell you there are alot of great bikes out there. Trek is and always has been a good bike. Owning one will not make you Lance.Alot of all brands of bikes are made by China-bike for their entry to mid level bikes.Specialized is a great bike.Raleigh bicycles are wonderful machines I own a R-600 road model.But!....In my opinion and I have had,Schwinn's,Diamonbacks even a Pro-flex, Cannondale Bicycles are in a class of their own. They are hand made in America by bicyclists for bicyclists.Oh....yeah I have one....a Cannondale Super V-1000.........you need one too.

first of all, AWSOME BIKE. I have one of those....dont put pegs on it whatever you do or you will break the axle..its a dirt jumping bike, not for freestyle. Expensive upgrades are the lightest...heres the cheapest ways...first, remove the plastic chain guard if it has one, second, get light weight tires, third, get lighter cranks, fourth, get lighter rims or build your own, (i build my own bikes) fifth, remove any reflectors, they are pointless, anything you see on the bike that can be removed and still make the bike work.....i have about $500 worth of upgrades on my 07 X1

Mongoose is not up there with the best, but then, not everyone is rich and not everyone needs every trick in the book! Its a good bike for getting about.\n\nIf you want something serious, durable and great to ride look at Trek, Specialised, Cannondale and Klein (amongst other good makes).\n\nMy current MTB is a Klein Attitude Race. Its superb and good value considering the very high spec'. Try one, buy it or use it as your yardstick when choosing your next bike.

For light exercise I personally would not recommend a fully suspended moutain bike.    \n\nI purchased a Specialized Crossroads for my partner and she loves it.  It has a light duty front shock that's not heavy and a suspended seat post with a nice cushy seat.  If you are looking to pedal around the park with your family or run errands around town, I would recommend a bike like this.  I'm sure other brands have something comparable.  I believe this model is also in your price range.\n\nAs someone else said, go to your local bike shop.  Most of the time they are very helpful.  If you are as specific with them as you were here, they will show exactly what you need and explain the pros and cons of different brands and let you make up your mind.\n\nGood luck!
