I’ve inherited a early-sixties-ish Western Flyer and would like to know more about researching it’s history. Does anyone know of any resources for finding manufacturing dates, original equipment/paint, etc.?

…Or where can I learn about them? I’m thinking about the types of exercises we used to do in gym class; push-ups, sit-ups, those bicycle things where you lie on the ground and kick your legs.

I’m too broke to buy a gym membership or equipment for my home, I’m uncomfortable using free weights, and I **** the exercise videos because I’m WAY too uncoordinated to keep up with their annoying dance moves (If I liked dancing, I’d take a class, not buy a video).

I don’t want “fun” exercises – just simple and effective ones involving my body and a stretch of hardwood floor. Do they still exist?

I recently lost weight and i am now 110 lbs at 5’3″. I am trying to get my rounded ‘bubble butt’ back and overall get my muscles more toned. I don’t have a gym to go to so i am doing workouts at home along with riding my bicycle. With my squats i am trying to figure out if quick movements or more controlled longer movements are more efficient.. and also if there are any recommended workouts considering i am doing it all without equipment.

Hi,

I see a cycling like gym equipment in a Gym and I do not know what exactly is it called, it got paddles like a bicycle and 6 options to choose from like heart rate, strength,manual, Rx, Etc..

It also got an adjustable sit.

I would like to know what is that equipment called and how to configure it for using because whenever I tried using it , I never felt any exertion and it was easier than driving a bicycle in real life…no pressure required which I think would be required if one configures the equipment properly

Thanks
Thanks Jen, I tried resistance to be 9 but it is still easy..for me.no pressure is required by legs at all..could it be because the cycle malfunctioning ?

to the other guy, I **** one line answers, and there is no Gym instructor at all.

I asked the question previously about e-bike batteries:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080730123938AAWnZke

I’ve resolved that by getting a NiMH battery for my bike, but now I’m worried about the bike itself. I keep seeing this on airline sites:

One item of bicycle equipment is defined as 1 non-motorized touring or racing bicycle with a single seat.

is checking in the bike itself illegal? is this legally a “bike” or a “motorized bike” for the purposes of air travel? the bike will be folded and partially disassembled, with the battery unattached. will labeling this as “electric assist bike parts” help?

people have flown with Segways it seems: http://forums.segwaychat.com/archive/index.php/t-13546.html

(with the same concern for battery types)

is it possible that it’s not ok to check in “e-bike parts” but that it is ok to check in a Segway?

all advice appreciated.

thank you,
carry

Hi – thank you.

I’m willing to pay for overweight baggage, and it may not be an issue as I’m flying internationally from New York to London. I’m also flying within the EU from London – a few smaller trips. Shipping it between the smaller trips is not really an option, as some of them are 2 days long.

I should mention that it’s a folding bike, and therefore relatively small in dimensions when packed.

I’m really only worried about the authorities deciding that this is in fact a “motorized bike” though the battery will be off, though it looks like a normal bike (it *is* a normal bike that happens to have been converted), and though there seem to be different laws for “pedelecs” (bikes that support electric pedal assistance based on how much you pedal) and bikes that do not require you to pedal at all. mine is a pedelec.

I just can’t seem to find information about this.

Dark knight asked:


I am 15 years old and I want to build some muscle without weights or anykind of equipment. Since weights effect the potential of the height you can grow into, i don’t want to use them.

I’ve already doing pushups, in reps of 15 and a total of 150-200
: these pushups include tricep and normal pushups

I also do 100 normal crunhes, 100 side crunches, 4 sets of 1 minute bicycle crunches, and 50 leg lifts and holding each for 3 seconds

I didn’t get the results I wanted so far, I want abs and arm musles

I can do exercises on Monday,Wednesday,Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

On each day the maximum I can do is 1 hour, or more if I don’t have a lot of homework and other things

So what exercises do you guys recommend to for me to do, that will help me achieve abs and strong arm muscles.

Does anyone sit on a stability ball at work? (does it work, or is it annoying?) Also, does anyone use one of those little mini steppers or bicycle pedals for under the desk? do they stay put? thy seem like they dont weigh much and would move as you pedaled. Any other suggestions on office workouts??? THANKS!

I live in an apartment complex that has a fitness room. The clubhouse at my apartment has three treadmillls, one elliptical machine, two old bicycle machines, and one of those 5-in-1 workout centers that you see at hotel fitness rooms, and some dumbbells. But there is WAY much more equipment at the gym that you don’t see at the apartment complex. The gym has an arc trainer, better treadmills, stairstepper machines, more types of elliptical machines, and free weights, and more weight machines. But the gym charges me about $60/month, and I have been a member for about a year. Do any of you live in an apartment complex with a fitness room but still go to the gym? If so, why do you continue to go to the gym. If not, why don’t you go to the gym where there is more equipment to use?
