Check Out The Versatile Schwinn Air Driver 1000 Floor Pump
November 9th, 2017
There are actually quite a few reasons to make sure your bike tires and full of enough air. One of the biggest is that when your tires are low on air you have to pedal harder as there’s not enough pressure in the tire and drag is the result. Another is the that when there’s not enough pressure in the tire, the odds of that tire getting a flat from sharp road debris goes up. It’s important to get a tire pump that can play multiple roles by being able to pump all three types of bike tires along with your vast storage of sports balls and even inflatable toys for your children. One really versatile 5-1 pump that fills the requirements above is the Schwinn 1000 Floor Pump.
It’s got nice size handles to make the pumping action easier and a firm base for support. Thankfully it is also a fully compatible with Shrader, Presta and Dunlop valve tubes. One thing to keep in mind is if you’re consistently riding in lousy weather, it’s advised to not inflate your tires fully, because with less air, it will give your tires more surface area to grip and secure traction. Helpful for winter weather biking!

A Bicycle Air Horn That Is Impressively Loud And Effective
November 13th, 2016
Bicycles are vehicles, too! If anyone on the road has forgotten this fact, the Dealt Airzound Bicycle Horn will surely remind them. The Delta Airzound bicycle air horn secures tightly to any handlebar and when triggered releases a 115dB blare. Considering a car horn is, on average, 110dB and a jet engine is 120dB, Delta Airzound ensures a cyclist’s safety on the road. Best of all, no batteries or additional parts are required; the air reservoir can be quickly refilled by any bicycle pump. In 2005 alone, 784 American cyclists died and an additional 500,000+ were injured while riding. A proper horn can prevent accidents.
Most of these accidents, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission were caused by other motorists. From these statistics, it is clear a bike bell is not enough as the dinky noise cannot be heard by motorists. One cyclist commuter explained, “the horn is inconspicuous on my handlebars and is exactly what I need to get the attention of the driver pulling into my lane with their windows closed and radio blaring!” Delta Cycle has been developing practical cycling products for more than two decades and this product exemplifies the superior quality Delta requires of its products while safeguarding cyclists from everyday dangers.
