How to use bicycle gears?

My bike is a 21 speed, I find myself riding between 8th and 14th most of the time. Should I be using some of the other gears. I rarely if it all adjust the gears on the front crankset. LBS guy said I should utilize the other 2 more often to help extend the life of the drivetrain. What say...

How difficult is kayaking to learn?

There's a Quadrathlon in Southern Indiana that I'm considering for late August. I'm wondering if anyone here has done the kayak thing, because that's leg four of this thing. I'm wondering: How difficult to learn? How strenuous compared to swim/bike/run? How far is five miles in a kayak...

Tires for mountain bike?

So I've decided to give cycling one more try, despite my bad experience with my last road bike. Since Maddie has now been officially "bent" there's a mountain bike up for grabs which I am considering taking ownership of. I mainly want this for cross training, not any kind of serious off roading at...

How do i cycle during winter?

Winter is approaching and I can almost smell the coldness in the air. Much as I like snow and Christmas joy I hate winter since I have to stop cycling. I will be confined to my apartment and forced to think about nice warm days when I will be able to ride again. Do you have any suggestions?

What to wear while cycling when its too cold?

I like to cycle and would like to do it all the time. I have a problem with it during winters since it gets very cold that time of the year. I don’t know what to wear. Whatever I put on seems inappropriate and inadequate. I would appreciate your advice.
