Pennsylvania State Fair at the Racetrack

The Philadelphia Park Racetrack in Bensalem hosts the Pennsylvania State Fair every year from the end of May to the beginning of June. This state fair is relatively new and as of 2006 was only in its 21st year. Visitors to the fair each year can find lots of good deals and discounts designed to help ease the strain on your budget. There are ride discount coupons and a special free admission for one chaperone per 15 children grades K through 8. Plus the fair organizers try to include cheap one dollar menus on each concession stand.

Grandpa Cratchet the puppet is available on the grounds to meet and entertain the kids and family members of all ages. Also fun to enjoy is the Animal Specialties Petting Zoo. Kids can come pet and feed many domesticated farm animals from goats to chickens. Another animal show that has come to the state fair on occasion if 'Bwana Jim' and his educational animals. Its wild and crazy and you just might learn something about the animals.

Bicycle Tool

The rides at the fair are provided by the Reithoffer Shows Midway. It is the largest midway in the country and has lots of one-of-a-kind rides. The Midway has been around in some form or other since 1896 and they are always looking to add new rides. Some recent additions are the Starship, the Freak Out and the Avalanche. A fun kiddies ride is the titanic. A somewhat ironic theme, but the ride is really a giant blow up slide of the sinking ship that the kids slide down.

Roaming the fair on occasion is also Buffo, the Strongman Clown whose many talents include juggling bowling balls, balancing extension ladders on his face and being able to rip phone books in half. Whoa. Also visitors can enjoy a stunt bike show, the woodchuck chainsaw sculpture show, and a Dairy Farm Milking exhibit.

How To Build A Motorcycle Trailer

If you have the need for a motorcycle trailer, but don't want to spend a fortune on one, then you should consider building one yourself. It might seem a little daunting at first, but making your own motorcycle trailer really is easy and it's very rewarding as well. It can be done quite affordably and, depending on the method you choose, it can be done in just a few weeks. Read on to learn how to build a motorcycle trailer.

Bicycle Tool

Your first option in how to build a motorcycle trailer is to buy a freight trailer and add on the other parts yourself. This option is the easiest and you can purchase these types of trailers for a lot less than full motorcycle trailers. They are available in a wide range of sizes as well. Often these trailers are just a couple of hundred dollars for a small or medium-sized one. You'll have to spend a little more if you want a larger trailer, of course. These trailers will have to be assembled upon arrival, but by following the instructions you should be able to have it done in less than one week.

Bicycle Tool

The second step in how to build a motorcycle trailer is to add the enclosed part. Once you have purchased your freight trailer, you have a few options for adding on the rest. One option is to buy a car top carrier. These are affordable and add about a car trunk-sized amount of space. If you choose to buy a smaller trailer, you can simply add a cooler and a few other things tied down, such as a tent or bicycle. You should use sturdy chains to attach these items and test out the stability at slower speeds before trying to go long distances.

Another option in how to build a motorcycle trailer is to build a trailer completely from scratch. If you are mechanically inclined and have a wide variety of tools, you should be able to pull it off and you'll save quite a bit of money. The first step is to build the frame and wheels. Many of the parts needed for this can be purchased used or cheaply online or from mechanic shops. Then you will need to build the carrier. This can be done in a variety of ways. You might choose to build it out of wood or use a carrier that is already built, such as the car top carrier recommended in the previous paragraphs. Other pre-made boxes are available at home improvement stores.

Snowmobile Tracks

Snowmobiles don't have tires. They have snowmobile tracks which are fitted on the wheels that are fit on the snowmobile. The different types of snowmobiles out there have different tracks to suit their engine power. This depends on the type of terrain they are going to travel on. Though these tracks are tough and made to tackle difficult terrain, they can sometimes malfunction or break. When this happens, we need to find a place where we can get replacements for them.

Bicycle Tool

When looking for replacement tracks, the first and possible the first place to look is the internet. Once you have found where to look for them, there are a few things you need to have at hand. For starters, you need to have the make, specifications and serial numbers of the parts you need handy, the tracks themselves should have the relevant information on them somewhere. Not all brands of tracks are compatible with the snowmobile you have. You have to get snowmobile tracks that are compatible to the particular model that you have. There are some cases where you might be able to get generic tracks that work with any model of snowmobile.

Bicycle Tool

Many people are not comfortable with buying such parts from the internet. They can use the internet as a research tool to figure out the best tracks and to compare prices offered by different dealers. There after, they can go out to ATV or snowmobile stores to begin shopping for the snowmobile tracks they need. If they can fit the tracks themselves, they should go ahead and do it, but its always better to have a professional do it for you.

How to Get a Free Power Wheelchair

In the last 15 years, the motorized wheelchair (also known as the power wheelchair) has made it possible for hundreds of thousands of Americans to regain their mobility and live their lives independently. The vast majority of these power wheelchair owners received their equipment through Medicare's power mobility benefit. What is the power mobility benefit and how does a person qualify for an power wheelchair? The next few paragraphs will give you some insight into Medicare's guidelines.

Bicycle Tool

Medicare spends around .5 Billion annually on power wheelchairs and power operated vehicles (mobility scooters). Medicare considers a beneficiary's ability to safely participate in one or more Mobility Related Activities of Daily Living (MRADLs). These activities of daily living include dressing, grooming, toileting, bathing and eating in customary locations within the home (which can include assisted living centers). In order to qualify for an power wheelchair, a person must need assistance with one or more of these daily living activities.

Bicycle Tool

This means if a person only needs help going to the grocery store, the shopping mall or someplace else outside the home, Medicare will not pay for an power wheelchair. The person must have at least one daily living activity need inside the home to be considered for an power wheelchair.

If a person needs mobility assistance inside the home to perform daily living activities, the next thing Medicare is going to examine is if a person can get by safely with a cane, walker or manual wheelchair. Since these are less expensive items, Medicare wants to try them first. Many people may be able to get around with a cane or walker for part of the day, but then weaken or get tired as the day goes on. Others may not be able to safely walk the home with a cane or walker due to frequent falls. Many people will not be able to propel themselves in a manual wheelchair due to lack of strength or other upper body conditions.

Once a person has determined that he or she needs additional mobility assistance inside the home and other mobility aids (cane, walker, wheelchair, etc.) have been ruled out, it is time to consult a physician or medical equipment company to initiate the power wheelchair evaluation and approval process.

Bike Riding For Exercise - How Effective is It?

Bike riding for exercise is one effective way of staying fit and toned and building physical endurance. In biking, almost all parts of the body are exercised, from the legs to the thighs to the abdomen and even the arms. Cycling, though, is more recommended to people who wish to strengthen the lower part of their body since the upper half does not get as much activity as the lower part when it comes to riding a bike.

Exercise for busy people

Bicycle Tool

Although riding road bikes along various terrain might be a lot more fun than cycling indoors, some people just don't have the time to venture outdoors and work on their fitness. For these busy individuals, there is the option of indoor biking. Exercise bikes for use inside the home or in gyms are readily available and serve the same function as road bikes. They can use either the recumbent or the upright type and choose from various brands like ProForm, Nautilus, Schwinn and Life Fitness.

How biking works the muscles

Cycling, even indoors, allows a person to strengthen his or her legs, thighs and glutes. It is an effective cardiovascular activity and can help tone the muscles and keep a person fit. Pedaling strengthens the legs and helps make the inner thighs firm. It also helps accelerate metabolism, increase heart rate and helps burn calories. A person can lose weight, become stronger and keep fit with a proper cycling program.

Equipment for the activity

For people who prefer a more strenuous exercise program, an upright exercise bike machine would be ideal. It is much the same as a road bike where the rider would be required to use the pedals in a vertical, albeit stationary, position. For individuals new to exercising, or those who suffer from back pains and injuries, the recumbent is the more preferred type of exercise equipment. A recumbent bike puts the rider in a more horizontal position, with a backrest to protect his back and the feet out in front for pedaling.

Modern features

To compensate for the lack of outdoor views and varying terrain, some manufacturers of indoor exercise bikes have incorporated virtual programs into their products wherein the rider can enter a virtual setting simulating an outdoor experience. Adjustable resistance features and pre-programmed add-ons also allow the rider to simulate uphill or downhill terrains, allowing him or her to vary the exercise program and move various muscles.

People interested in bike riding for exercise need to be careful before starting a cycling regimen. A consultation with a physical fitness expert on what type of program is the most appropriate and what equipment to use is the first step that should be taken by those who like cycling exercises. Just like outdoor biking, indoor cycling can also cause injuries and pains if the program is not done right and the activity is not guided or sanctioned by a physical fitness expert.

Cycling 100 Miles - A Training Guide

Cycling 100 miles (a century) is an achievable feat for most people assuming adequate preparation and training are performed.

Bicycle Tool

Obviously the main thing you need to do is to start building up the miles you clock on the bike as early as possible in your training regime. You should aim to be able to complete a 75 mile training ride two weeks before your century attempt. Assuming you achieve this then the extra 25 miles on the day should not be a problem.

Bicycle Tool

Based on this 75 mile plan you will need to slowly build up your rides to this length in order to avoid injury. Aim to go for at least 2 short rides during the week and then one long ride at the weekend. The long ride (and your weekly mileage total) should not increase in distance more than 15% each week. Ramping up your training at a faster rate will significantly increase your chances of picking up an injury.

Another essential way to prepare for your 100 mile ride is to treat your training as a practise ground for the kit, clothing and nutrition you will use on the big day. Try to simulate race circumstances on every training ride by wearing exactly the clothing and carrying exactly the kit you will start with on century day. By doing this you will reduce the risk of any nasty surprises ruining you enjoyment of the 100 mile ride.

Nutrition is key on such a long ride. Use your weekly long rides to experiment with what foods work best for you. Foods such as potatoes, bagels, fig rolls and the famous peanut butter sandwich are all popular amongst endurance cyclists. Find out what works for you and what does in training not on the century attempt itself.

Bicycle Insurance - Will Your Home Insurance Cover You?

The Global Financial crisis has made it into the mainstream economy with everyone tightening their belts. A health benefit of the global financial crisis though is that more people are riding to work and getting into cycling. At last count at the end of 2008 about 3.3 Million people in the UK were estimated to be riding to work - and saving money doing so.

Bicycle Tool

The downside of the crisis also means that crime increases and bikes are a sought after item for thieves. In England & Wales alone, around 300,000 bicycles are stolen each year. Unfortunately only about 5% of these make their way back to their rightful owners. Many bikes are stolen from homes and garages, but not surprisingly thousands are stolen from public streets, parks and workplaces. If this happens to you will your bike be covered by your Home Insurance policy?

Bicycle Tool

Bicycles can be insured as part of a home insurance policy or with a stand-alone policy. Homeowners should check their home insurance terms and conditions to see whether their bike is covered or not. In many cases if your bicycle isn't specified on the policy, an insurer may limit the payout for any claim on a single item. If that happens to be your shiny bike you could find yourself out of pocket by quite a lot.

It's well worth checking the details of your home insurance policy to establish what cover you actually have. Most policies cover bikes as part of their personal possessions option - however, cover levels vary with some insurers only protecting your bicycle against theft if you keep it locked in a secured area. If your bike is parked in the street or at work without a proper lock to secure it, insurers may look on your claim in a dim light. Some insurers will cover you against risks such as vandalism and accidental damage.

If you have a particularly expensive bicycle and can't imagine life without it, then you're probably better off taking out a conventional bicycle insurance policy. In the UK, the likes of E&L Insurance and Cycleguard offer protection that includes options such as accidental damage cover, legal expenses cover, replacement hire and coverage for trips overseas.
