Preferred way to prevent a flat?

I got my first flat of the year yesterday on the way home. I've got add-on kevlar belts on the road bike and slime on the MTB. Both seem to work equally well, but the Slime is much heavier @ 4 oz. / tire.

How to regain my lost cycling form?

I’m so disappointed in my form! After the winter break I started cycling again and I couldn’t cover even the half of my usual trace! Imagine that! It’s so upsetting and I feel as if I was totally rusty. I don’t understand how this could have happened during only few months of...

How does one practice sighting landmarks in the pool?

So my first tri is coming up but one of the things that I haven't gotten nailed down yet is sighting while swimming. How does one practice sighting landmarks in the pool? In which part of the stroke do you look for landmarks?

Are the cheap walmart exercise bikes any good?

I'm looking to get one and was looking for suggestions. Are the cheapo wal-mart cycles any good? I don't want to spend a whole lot because I really only want to use it because I can't run right now. Is there any difference in the workout if you get a recumbant vs. standard?

Sports Drink for Cyclists

I keep hearing about Sports Drinks for Cyclists. People say that they are good and that one cannot finish long or hard race without it. Is it true? Should I start using them and if so which one should I buy? I am not familiar with those drinks and know nothing about them

Is swimming two times per week too little?

I want to improve my overall form and fitness. I have desire and will to do so, but lack logistics. I have a tight schedule (that is an understatement) and nearest pool is pretty far from where I live. Traveling there by car takes too much time (which I don’t have). So I manage to swim only...
