New for 2012, Bicycle Garage Indy now offers two options for you to learn how to keep your bike in top condition.  You can choose from the newly revised BGI Maintenance Classes, ideal for those who want to learn bicycle maintenance, hands-on, in a small group setting.  Or, you can choose One-on-One TechWise for the flexibility of personalized, hands-on, mechanical training, based on your needs and your schedule. These cover advance topics as well as any basic topics you may want to cover.

Both the BGI Maintenance Classes and One-On-One TechWise advanced Bicycle Maintenance Topics are based on the Park Tool Big Blue Bike of Bicycle Repair, available at BGI.  (BGI also offers Weekly Clinics throughout the year on a variety of bicycle topics.)

BGI Maintenance classes teach you bicycle maintenance for all the most common moving parts on your bicycle, with each logical section covered in a 2-hour session.  More than just basic road-side repair, you learn to clean, adjust, lubricate, and install the components and parts necessary to your bike rolling smoothly for years to come.  The cost of each class is $29.99.  If you register for all four classes in advance, there is a $20 discount.

Classes are begin at 8:00 AM Saturday morning, and are offered at all three BGI locations (North, South and Downtown.)  Class size is limited, and you must pre-register.

The Bicycle Maintenance classes are:

Bicycle Garage Indy has three locations to serve you; Bicycle Garage Indy North (Indianapolis, Dear Road at E. 82nd St.),  South (just west of I-65 on County Line Rd, Greenwood), and the new BGI Downtown, in the Indy Bike Hub YMCA at City Market.

Bicycle panniers have a lot of features in common with backpacking gear because because of similarities in needs and functions.  And for both bicycle touring and backpacking, you will find proponents for either top-opening or side-opening pack designs. The bags you choose are as much a matter of function as your personal packing style. (I discussed difference between water-resistant and water-proof packs in earlier posts.)  We are currently stocking both types of packs at Bicycle Garage Indy.

Side opening bags with lots of pockets are good for the organizer.  They offer a place for everything with everything its place.  Your front pannier, rear pocket will have your sunscreen, and your rear pannier right pocket will have your headlamp and matches.  You get the idea.  A side opening pack also lends it self well to stuff sacks or zip-lock bags to further sub-divide and organize the gear.  

Side opening bags are also good for easy access to gear during the day.  You can easily stash jackets and arm warmers as the day warms up, and put away the groceries acquired throughout your day of riding. At the end of the day, side opening allows you to quickly find the one the item or bag of items you are looking for, without having to unload everything else in the pack.  Some of our side opening bags include the Arkel models  T-42 ($219.99), XM-28 ($219.99) and T-28 ($169.99).

Top opening bags, with either a roll-up water-proof closure, or a drawcord and flap closure, are best when you are closing your bag once in the morning;  you pack it and forget it. It is also important to pack these bags with a plan, so that items you might need during the day are not under everything else, especially if this is a bag with few pockets.

Some top opening bags may have external pockets, and you can pack the main compartment with things you will not use during the day.  This would typically be the case for your rear panniers, which may have additional gear (tent, sleeping pad, etc.) strapped across the top opening.  In this case access is not issue except when the unexpected comes up.  Our top opening bags include the Arkel Dolphin-48 ($244.99), KoKi Rover II ($149.99) and Bontrager Basic Panniers ($99.99).

So which is best?  Depends on your intended usage.  For the touring bicyclist, I recommend the side opening, with pockets, as the most flexible option.  The organization it imposes saves you a great deal of time in the long run, and that time savings adds to your enjoyment.  The one exception is in extreme touring where a truly water-proof bag is required.  For the commuter, a single opening bag may be just right for quick loading on unloading after each leg of the commute.

Bicycle Garage Indy is now offering TouringWise classes to help you plan and equip for you bicycle adventure.  Learn more at bgindy.com/for/tourwise.

Find a full selection of bicycle packs from Arkel, Bontrager and KoKi bicycle packs at all three Bicycle Garage Indy locations: Bicycle Garage Indy North (Indianapolis, Dean Rd at 82nd St.),  South (just west of I-65 on County Line Rd, Greenwood), and the new BGI Downtown, in the Indy Bike Hub YMCA at City Market.

“What kind of biking do I want to do? “  This is the first question to ask yourself when considering the purchase of a new bike.  Do you want to have the freedom and comfort to ride all day?  Or is one hour the longest ride you are contemplating?  Is this a functional and/or “green”purchase (bicycle commuting to work)?   Or do you want to get faster for bicycle or triathlon competitions?  Perhaps you simply wish to pedal around your neighborhood on warm summer evenings..

These are the first questions to ask yourself when considering a new bicycle purchase.   Once you have a clear picture of your goals, THEN you can begin the shopping process.

And here is where Bicycle Garage Indy can help.  We have a FREE clinic on Bike Buying Tips.  This clinic is offered on a rotating basis all summer long at our three retail locations (North, South and Downtown).  We have other free clinics as well.  Click here to see the full description of clinics and schedules.

At this Bike Buying Tips clinic, we will clarify for you the various types of bikes to choose from, with names like:  road bike, mountain bike, hybrid, lifestyle, comfort, electrical assist.  In describing these different bikes, we will talk about what materials they are made of and what their price ranges are.  We will also help you to understand what specs you should look for in a bike.  

Do you ride in fear of getting a flat tire?  When this does happen, what will you do?  Call a friend or family member to come bail you out?  But what if no one is available right then?  Worry no more -  come to our FREE clinic (register here) to see how easy it is to fix a flat tire.   (Part 3 in a series of 4 - part 1, part 2)

Speaking as a non-mechanical person, I can personally attest to just how easy this repair is.  Once you learn how, go home and practice over and over again until you can accomplish it successfully in just a few minutes.    Then stress no more!

This clinic on flat tire repair is one in a series of FREE bicycle clinics which Bicycle Garage Indy offers on a rotating basis all summer long.  We have three retail locations to choose from:  North, South and Downtown. 

I have already described two of these free clinics in previous blogs (Ready to Ride:  The Bike and Ready to Ride:  the Rider).  This blog will describe the third clinic in this series.

This third clinic is called Fixing A Flat Tire & other minor annoyances.  The purpose is to demonstrate for you each step involved in fixing a flat tire.  This includes removal of the rear wheel, which can be problematic  for some.  And interestingly enough, there are steps you can take to minimize your chances of getting a flat.  We will go through these steps in detail.   Other topics covered may include dropped chains and lubing tips.

If this clinic appeals to you, then follow this link to register  for the location and date that works best for you.  Watch for my final blog on the fourth FREE clinic, Bike Buying Tips.

Are you new to the sport of bicycling, or just resuming after a long time away from it?  If so, there is a lot to learn about your new bike and we at Bicycle Garage Indy would like to help.   Join us at any of our three retail locations (North, South and Downtown) for a FREE clinic which is offered on a repeating basis all summer long.  Follow this link to register.   A prior blog described the first of these clinics, Ready to Ride:  The Bike.  This blog will delve into the second of these clinics.

This second clinic is called Ready to Ride: The Rider.   This clinic focuses on how you can MAXIMIZE your comfort, safety and heart healthy benefits on your bicycle.

The first step towards your comfort is getting a good fit to your bicycle.  We will demonstrate the first adjustments which you can take towards that goal.   For those wanting a more complete and professional fit, we will explain how a bicycle fitting is performed in our state-of-the-art BGI Fitting Studio with specialist Frank Radaker.   Bicycle clothing and accessories also go a long way toward keeping you comfortable – learn how.

Interestingly, your clothing and accessories can also enhance your safety.  Pairing this with learning the rules of the road will maximize your on-the-road safety.  You will learn the meaning behind the phrase, “Bicyclists have the same rights AND responsibilities of a motorist”.

Bicycling is an aerobic form of exercise just like walking and running.  Therefore, you will reap the same heart healthy benefits, which include optimizing your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, HDL (the GOOD cholesterol) and body fat.  We will give you the recommendations for bicycling intensity, duration and frequency.

If this clinic appeals to you, then follow this link to register for the location and date that works best for you. Watch for my next blog on the third FREE clinic, which is Fixing a Flat Tire & Other Minor Annoyances.

(Follow this link for registration.)  

The first of these clinics is called Ready to Ride:  The Bike.  This clinic focuses on how you can MINIMIZE mechanical problems on the road while MAXIMIZING your enjoyment.  Since one of my favorite things about bicycling is riding in new and unexplored territory, we begin with demonstrating front wheel removal.  This will allow you to load up the bike and drive to an exciting new region to explore.

But before you hop onto your bike, it is important to first perform a 30-second safety check.  The bicycle ABC Quick Check is designed to minimize mechanical problems once you are on the road, far from home and car.  We will also detail for you the items which you should carry with you on the bicycle, both for flat tire repair and other minor adjustments.

We conclude with a discussion of shifting, including why you should do it and how it is done.  We also talk about shifting and cadence and how the two tie in together.  We want everyone leaving the clinic to feel confident to get back on their bicycle and efficiently use your full range of gears.

So how is a bicycle pack made to be "water-proof", and how is it different from a water resistant design (see Part 1)?

Packs sold as “water-proof” start with a very water resistant or water proof fabric, and then add additional features to keep water out.  The first step is the use of sealed seams, where a water proof fabric tape is placed over every seam and heat sealed or “welded” to the rest of the fabric.  It will also need similar sealing tape over any pack mounting hardware that comes through the pack fabric.  Finally, the pack must also have have a waterproof closure, either by using water-proof zippers, or a roll-up closure.     

Some of the bicycle packs made in this waterproof design approach the protection offered by a canoe/kayak “dry-bag”, that are designed to protect gear that is at risk of actually be immersed in water.  A road touring cyclist may not need this level of protection, but for off-road mountain bike touring, fording a stream and needing a dry-bag pack is real possibility.

A touring cyclist can make the decision on bag to choose based the climate and and packing style.  If you use stuff sacks and zip-loc bags to organize all your gear, in effect double bagging everything, a water resistant pack and rain cover is likely to be adequate for all but the most extreme wet weather locales. And if you tour with a true water-proof bag, you must still make provisions to keep damp and dry items seperately bagged.

For the commuter, a water proof bag with a roll-top closure offers an easy way to keep clothing and office gear dry, up to and including a laptop, without the need for double bagging contents or stopping to pull out a rain cover.  However, keep in mind that a waterproof bag keeps moisture in; and a damp towel sealed in a water-proof pack for the ride home can damage your office papers and electronics just as much as a rain shower.  

So the best descision is base on your type of travel, and you like to organize.  In part 3, I will talk about the difference on bag openings, and how to choose what is right for you.

A roll-up closure is the most most water-proof.

What is the difference between a bike pack that is “water resistant” versus one that is “water proof”?   Ride often enough, and you will get caught in the rain.  That is just a fact of cycling life.  If you are participating in multi-day rides and tours, or regularly bicycle commuting to work, dealing with rain is a certainty.  Keeping yourself dry is complete topic by itself.  But what about the gear you carry on your bike in rack trunks, panniers and handlebar bags?  

Most nylon fabrics used in bicycle packs have an internal coating that is water resistant.  This coating that holds a nylon fabric together will also keep items inside dry through the occasional shower  However, this water resistance is compromised where the bag is sewn together.   Also, the outer fabric layer can still get wet, and gradually soak through the internal coating and sewn seams.  So most fabric manufacturers will add a external fabric coating (Scotchguard or similar products) that repels water and also prevents stains.   Water will bead up and run off the pack, slowing down the process of soaking through.   You can also improve water resistance with design features like flaps over zippers, (or using water resistant zippers) and seam placement. 

When there are multiple pockets and zippers on a pack, the only way to completely keep water out is with an accessory rain cover.  The rain cover will typically fit around and over the pack like a shower cap, will have as few seams as necessary, and may include a drain at the bottom. Rain covers are usually very light fabrics, and intended to be used only has needed.  This will keep the rain cover from loosing both its external and internal coatings (and water resistance) from daily wear and exposure to sunlight. 

So by combining a water resistant fabric, good design and and another layer of water proof protection, the end result is a water resistant pack system.  

Next, I will  talk about water-proof packs

Did you get a new bicycle this spring?  Or perhaps return to cycling after a long absence?  I had the pleasure of working with a lot of folks last summer, who were relatively new to the sport of cycling.  And the one consistent problem which I observed was that many folks were hesitant to use their gears.  They pretty much chose one gear and never moved away from it.  Is this a problem?

For an afternoon toodle through a flat neighborhood, maybe not.  But as soon as you venture out into any terrain changes at all, you really do need to use those gears.  The gearing was designed to maximize your efficiency, speed and comfort.  So I challenge you to go out on a flat ride and play with the gearing.  Shift through the full range of gears, both on the front sprocket and back. Get comfortable with the shifting process and learn what the different gears feel like.  Then when you head out onto a hillier course, you will feel prepared to shift and to shift appropriately.

Let me share a couple of pointers to help you out.

I'm new to the triathlon sport, but with my running and cycling background I think I have the potential to fit right in. On top of my 2012 Trek Speed Concept 7.8, I plan to tackle my goal of finishing an Ironman triathlon before I graduate from college. Look out Lance, here I come!

Thanks Bicycle Garage Indy for being a great shop and supporting me!
