I recommend a visit to your local bike shop to check out the cool stuff they have to maintaining your bike. I am a fan of the Park Tool Chain Cleaner which simply clamps around your chain and cleans as you back pedals your bike while on the repair stand. \n\nAs far as the actual cleaner is concerned, I would commend a biodegradable solution or something like the Pedros orange solution. This does a great job. \n\nFor chain lubes, if it is a road bike I would use the lightest chain lube possible. That way it won't be as likely a chance to get the rookie mark on the side of your leg. If you are mountain biking and getting into the mud, I'm a fan of both the T9 stuff and White Lightening. There is a theory behind both lubes which are a wax base which you will have to read up on to determine if it is right for your type of riding. If you are up in the Northwest (Washington State) where it rains a lot I would recommend heavier stuff like the Pedros Mountain Bike lube. That stuff rocks in the wet. \n\nProbably too much information but have fun on the bike.

Try a bike tube repair kit. It might work.

If it's totally frozen with rust, you'll need a new drivetrain. Proper storage will avoid problems like that.\n\nIf it's just surface rust, you can loosen it by spraying it with a penetrating liquid like WD-40 and scrubbing it with a toothbrush... not one you're planning to use on teeth again! Once that's done, apply a Teflon-based chain lubricant, available from bike stores. Don't use oil on the chain because it will attract dirt. The chain lube will help the chain shed water and avoid rust in the future.

Get thee to your local bike shop.  Ask for leg warmers.  Otherwise, check performance.com, velowear.com, velogear.com, etc...

Do you really want to do that? I think it is nasty! I guess it's one of those "what ever floats your boat" Try it if you want but you might tear or scratch yourself in the process with out lubrication. Please don't feel the need to share what you have decided to do.

yes.dont let it out for more than 1 hour. unless your doc tells you otherwise.. it will retard its desired movement. If you want desirable effect follow your doc.

Lift the bike above your head with one hand and apply the oil with the other while using your head to rotate the pedals \n\nImportant safety precaution: Wear goggles to keep oil splashes out of your eyes and a crash helmet because the pedals keep hitting you in the back of the head and then you drop the bike.\n\nEasy!!

Well, yes, neglecting any energy loss to friction (e.g. air resistance)

The same way gym shoes squeak on a floor. Pressure and angle of contact. stop pushing so hard on the paper, or try a softer grade of pencil. Try a mechanical pencil, there plastic with concealed erasure's.  Not painted wood with an eraser on the end to chew on. This only leads to ingestion of rubber which is harm full, and eventually leading to consuming paint chips and we all know what that does. Ride on....

pick a gear where you dont have to pedal that hard, you want to use your body weight as a counterbalance...lean back and pull up your handlebars hard...after a few tries you will pedal longer.\n\nif you pull up too hard or lean back to far,your bicycle will flip out from under you..its all about balance...it doesnt come to you overnight but with work and practice you will know how hard to pull up and how far to lean back.

I have a recumbent bike that is both very comfortable and gives me a better work out than a standard "riding" stationary bike.  I have one that also has magnetic resistance.  As for moving handles, I just use hand weights and that provides a better work out while riding and I can choose different movements during the work-out.

You'll want to get what's called an indoor trainer. The resistance ones are best because you can adjust the resistance to make it more like riding outdoors. The link below should get you started on what's out there.

Waterbase lube should be good.But since you have a wee little wee bit...then just blow wind in it...

use a rolling pin to squeez the stuff out...and there is a gadget on the market that looks like 2 fingers, you slip the bottom of the tube between the 2 fingers and just turn up so that the tube rolls around and over the fingers and the paste doesn't backflow..got he idea?..but you can always by toothpast in a pump

take off your cranks and tighten everything and oil it all. this will make it run smoother and your parts wont come lose, maybe get a new B.B. if that one is old. Tighten that lock nut realll good and you will be in good shape.
