Between my family, we have several bicycles. Unfortunately, we were storing a large headboard in front of a mountain bike and I completely forgot about it until we just sold the headboard. At this point, do I need to get new tires or should I just try filling the current ones? Should I take it in for a professional "tune up" or are there just a few things I should be looking for?

On board a 70’s Yamaha XS 650 turned into a dual sport bike.

I have been breaking my back for the past two weeks for at least 8 hours a day at the computer trying to find a new car. I finally found one i like with accaptable miles on it. My boyfriend said he heard on the radio that with the way the economy is today sales are going down so people who are in sales are not making as much money so if you go to buy something with cash you can pretty much call the shots. The car i want is a Dodge Avenger SXT.

I probably dont need to list all this but i will anyway.

I tried pumping up my mountain bike tube though i think it has been over inflated and won’t pump up.
I have a Massano m3000 mountain bike. The tire is a 26inch size and the diameter is 57mm 26 * 2,125. What are my options on a budget for getting a new tire and tube. I’m thinking i need to replace the tire and tube for a comfortable ride. Any suggestions?

Even though one is a hardtail and one is dual suspension, which bike is better in all catagories?

Should a ‘beginner’ cyclist get a road bike? I’m not very good at cycling; mainly I’m afraid of sharing the road with cars and also tend to overreact to potholes and cracks in the ground. I’m also pretty weak on climbing. On the other hand, it’s my objective to overcome these obstacles and eventually be able to ride long city trails. Should I start with a mountain bike and build up my skills first, or should I just go ahead and get a road bike since that’s my end goal anyway?

The Flying Dutchman Cargo bike brings an entirely new dimension to the Dutch style load carrying bicycle. With dual suspension, a recumbent seating position, and the ability to carry hundreds of pounds, the Flying Dutchman is the king of load carrying two wheelers, able to move practically anything you can fit into the cargo bay. The cargo bay is completely adaptable to just about any type of load you may need to move.
