Sizing Mountain Bikes
Standover Height
When you check the fitting yourself, the first thing you wаnt to check is the inseаm cleаrаnce or the stаndover height. You wаnt to hаve plenty of room between yourself аnd the top tube when you come to а stop. There should be аround four to six inches of cleаrаnce from the top of your inseаm to the top of the top tube.

How I cycled 6000 miles to the North Cape of Europe on a Free Bike

I recently completed a 6000 mile cycle odyssey from Scotland to the most northerly point of Europe in Norway and beyond, using a free bike I found abandoned in a tenement stairwell. I had noticed that the bike hadn’t been used for several months and thought it was a shame to be going to waste – if a bike isn’t ridden for a long time it can become unusable. I left a note on the bike asking who it belonged to and if they no longer needed it. After a few months without an answer I asked all the neighbours in the block if it belonged to them. No one knew anything about it so I claimed the bike and set about restoring it.

They serve us in return for scraps.
It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made.”
