Do only losers use diamondback bicycles, like is it a loser bike brand that mostly losers/nerds/geeks gets (no offense to those people at all – this is just a curiosity question that I hope everyone is honest with) or is it a bike that both losers and cool people get or a bike that mostly only cool people get?

Coolness depends on the rider. If you are cool enough, you could pull off riding a Magna.

Diamondbacks are definitely a step up from Next or Magna, but they aren’t going to prop up your image if you aren’t already cool. But at the low end of the price spectrum, they’re a good, reliable option.

We don’t have a car and we have two parking spots so we put two bicycles in them. Today my landlord said it looks "tacky" and we need to move them. I feel I should be able to put them there. Does he have a legal right to say I can’t? Each apartment comes with two parking spots.

read the lease if silent then the landlord can do nothing, he/she can not add terms condition during the lease

Excerpt from http://www.trampe.no/english

Hilly cities normally have a low share of cycling. How come that Trondheim, the third largest city of Norway, has the highest share of cycling compared to all the other Norwegian cities? We believe there are there reasons:

1. Trondheim is a university city with 30 000 students, 90 % of whom using their bicycles as their main transport tool
2. During the last 20 years, there has been invested more than 20 mill NOK in a bicycle roads network and bicycle transport infrastructure in Trondheim
3. One of the most important infrastructure elements is the bicycle lift Trampe. Since the opening in 1993, it’s pushed more than 220 000 cyclist up the very steep hill BBrubakken in the historical heritage part of the city center

There is no doubt that Trampe has inspired students as well as other people living in Trondheim to take to their bicycles. In a user survey, 41 % of the lift users claim they’re using the bicycle more often due to the installation of Trampe.

I am trying to make my legs stronger and was wondering if those exercise bicycles in the gym can can help me gain muscle. I know that bikes usually increase your muscular endurance, but could it help with gaining muscle as well? I know the alternative is lifting weights, but i prefer bikes.

cycling is the best way to tone your arse lol

it will burn all the floppin fat in your butt and give you a muscular hips and make your hourglass figure

but gradually increase the resistance

but i prefer cycling lunges switch that works best for me i dont know what you call it but when you make a lunge then you jump and switch on the same spot.

Katie Melua – Nine million Bicycles 2005 live

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a fact,
It’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

We are twelve billion light years from the edge,
That’s a guess,
No-one can ever say it’s true
But I know that I will always be with you.

I’m warmed by the fire of your love everyday
So don’t call me a liar,
Just believe everything that I say

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you’re the one I love the most of all

(Instrumental)

We’re high on the wire
With the world in our sight
And down at tire,
Of the love that you give me every night

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That’s a Fact,
it’s a thing we can’t deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die

And there are nine million bicycles in Beijing
And you know that I will love you till I die!
