The importance of bicycle handles, is often underestimated, say the editors of the magazine test bike sport''news''. Therefore, they tested 21 models examined very closely, especially the ergonomics, but also ease of installation and the hold of the handles on the handlebars. Criticism must be insert the manufacturer of steering handles above all, that they will inform the buyer often poorly on how the handles correctly installed. This reduces not only driving comfort but also safety. The handle is one of the three contact points between man and bicycle. As with his saddle and pedals must be the choice that is well considered. Since it is difficult to get under the huge range of handles to the right, the magazine has pre-tested''16''Active Cycling handles. And found that the clear trend is towards more ergonomic and more amenities. Anyone who has been in the rain suddenly had his grip in the hand, while the half-naked handlebars tipped to one side, who knows what bolt-handles are worth. The magazine has tested twelve o'clock''''MountainBIKE screwed handles for comfort and ease of installation. Large differences in the quality of it - could happily see it - not, but it has yet emerged two test winners: Scott Lock-On Pro and Ergon GX 1st "Since I had the first samples of this new trekking handle last year's € bike in hand, I have been looking forward to the test. For a better environment because of the new Ergon concept GREENLAB ', whereby all materials including the packaging either sustainably produced or fully recyclable. Second, I was curious about the effect the feel of the cork. .. ". "Lovers of classic looks are happy with the new leather handles from Brooks. RADtouren put to the test hand on the stylish decorative pieces for the handlebars. ".
Forgotten in France, the Raleigh Chopper bike was essential to any kid in the UK and U.S. 70-80 years. So much so that in his country of origin, it is considered an icon design.s it is very inspired by the first chopper bikes - motorcycles that mimic the same name - the American home Schwinn, the Raleigh Chopper is definitely more modern, more rooted in its time. Perhaps because his line-and the fruit of the genius of British design, Tom Karen - yes, the man at the head of the studio Ogle, who "invented" the Reliant Scimitar GTE and the Bond Bug .*. The Raleigh Chopper appeared in 1968, and his whole look evokes the stunning bikes of easy-rider. Except that to move forward, we will have to pedal! Nothing like the classic bike Dad: while the rear wheel is super-wide (and uses for the first time a valve type "auto"), the front is controlled by a tiny, raised handlebars. The saddle has a banana-shaped, very long, with a record, topped with a chrome handle. Even under a V-shaped, atypical, topped the gadget that makes all the difference, a big lever to change the speed (3, 5 or 10 depending on model), like a car!. The chopper slows evil is terribly difficult to drive, no matter: all the kids want in one! Even the opinion of Tom Karen, this is not a good bike: total victory of style over function!. But the Chopper has some big flaws. The key is that if you sit too far back ... the front wheel lifts instantly! A more common problem than the long saddle allows two children to take seats. Under the pressure of associations, Raleigh is forced to introduce a new Chopper II in 1971, more on. Programme: saddle and handlebar shorter fixed. They are best identified by their carrier and their curved handhold. Note that the marketing department in Raleigh, visibly inspired by British Leyland, did everything to seal the Chopper, against his will. These include the Sprint, with handlebars bent, like the popular racing bikes: total flop, it proved even more dicey than the original, or the limited edition "5 speed", available only ... pink. Of course no boy in the world would be seen over there, while the girls were not interested in additional speeds ... Well done!. Finally, since 2004 there is a re-edition, the Chopper III of very low order. It is so ugly, we'd rather not show you. * Note that the paternity of the Chopper is subject to numerous controversies, some would argue that Tom Karen drew some details of a bicycle, and only rejected proposals, Alan Oakley is a real designer, on the other give him credit the entire project. We like the idea that the father of the Bond Bug has also designed this bike, and thus perpetuate this story. . Arnaud Rey is not only the architecture of the Blenheim Gang specialist, is also a tireless traveler who always think we bring some pictures of cars most remote countries. This summer he went .... In summer more than ever the Blenheim Gang members engage in their favorite sport: the drag. Because Danny Wilde taught us everything in The Persuaders, it provides serious proof in pictures.
