few golden tips for the accomplishment of the secure social success!

1. be formal, stay at the surface never go deep, you know there are lot of sharks down there 

2. be false, give a compliment, say kind words when you do not mean it, people will love this even when it's obvious you are lying 

3. present your self as a victim in all circumstances, that works always, you can slam someones face if needed and never feel guilty about that 

4. impress with the mediocrity, the middle of the road is the safest way to walk 

5. be prude, get easily scandalised, like that nobody will ever doubt your integrity 

6. make people laugh, give sarcastic remarks when least expected, the one you are joking about will feel hurt but rest will love you 

7. sympathise with the bullies and the oppressors, that way you can always pick the crumbs under their table and btw you'll make lot of friends with these who are already picking up the crumbs down there too 

8. accuse unfortunates as these who are guilty for their own bad fate, no harm done, no crumbs under their table anyway 

9. ..... I miss no. 9 to have this important guide completed, any suggestion?

Making sure your bike fits is of utmost importance in giving you power and comfort while riding

Quote of the complete article from the BicycleUniverse.info

Excellent but lately not so often updated website for anyone who evaluated to concise fact that using own body is only answer to the our modern unhealthy style of life.

"These tips are intended for bike commuters (especially novice commuters), not racers or mountain bikers.

Upright bicycles are really not good for your body -- they place a lot of stress on various parts of your body. If you're riding for an hour or less at a time on a properly-fitted bike, you probably won't be riding for long enough for that to matter. But if you're riding for longer periods of time, or if you're older, or if you're concerned by recent reports of damage to private parts by cycling, then you should consider getting a recliner bike. The tips below are for upright bikes.


1 Frame Size. Getting a bike whose frame matches your body is the most important part of bike fit . If the frame size is wrong, you probably won't be able to adjust the seat and handlebars enough to compensate. When you're straddling the bike with both feet on the ground, there should be at least 1-2 inches between the top tube and your crotch. If there's less space, you're going to hurt yourself at some point when you hop off the seat to stop. If there's a LOT more than 1-2 inches, then whether your bike will fit will depend on how far up you're able to move your seat and handlebars.

2  Seat Height. When you're pedaling and your leg is all the way down (pedal is in 6:00 position), your knee should be slightly bent. If your leg is straight (knee locked), your seat is too high. If your knee isvery bent (as in the illustration above), your seat is too low. Either problem can hurt your knees, and a seat height that's too short robs you of power and makes it harder to ride. Just loosen the bolt under the seat and raise or lower the seat. (There are vertical hash marks in a ring around the seat stem that indicate the maximum you can safely raise the seat.) If you can't raise the seat high or low enough, your bike is the wrong size and you need another bike. Note that the guy in the picture above has a seat height that's a little too low. You can't see the angle of his right leg clearly because it's on the other side of the bike, but we can also tell that his seat's too low because his left leg is completely level when it's in the 12:00 position. Instead, it should not come up quite so far, and should angle down slightly. (If anyone's got a better picture, I'd love to have it.) Note that if you raise the seat, you'll probably also need to raise the handlebars, as per 6 below.

3  Seat Angle. You may be tempted to have your seat tilt down so there's less pressure on your crotch, but don't. If your seat tilts down, gravity will be pulling you off the front of your bike and pushing you into your handlebars, and you'll place a lot of stress on your fingers, wrists, arms, and neck to keep you pushed back onto the seat. Keep your seat level, or even tilted one or two notches up for men's seats. If your seat is uncomfortable when it's level, it may be too high. Try lowering it. If you're riding for more than 1 hr. at a time, you're liable to get sore no matter what. People doing this much riding should definitely consider a comfortable recliner bike orergonomic seat pads.

4  Seat Position (front & back). The nose of the saddle should be behind the bottom bracket. If it's above or in front of the saddle then you have to pedal directly underneath or behind you, robbing you of efficiency. Also, in normal riding position with the pedals parallel to the ground, your front knee (from almost the front edge) should be directly over the pedal spindle (the middle of the pedal). This avoids knee pain.
