From the moment of the invention of a bicycle the master from the city of Nizhni Tagil Efim Artamonov has passed more than two hundred years. Since then in the technician there were considerable changes. The modern bicycle – a product of high technologies – resembles the great-grandfather a little, but it has not lost the main thing: this car is close to the person as any another, and can become if want, its friend. Practically one only the memoirs on a bicycle call positive emotions everyone, carry away in the happy world of the childhood.

We mature and we forget old friends. And can, it is not necessary to do and try to get it to itself the old friend in a new appearance?

Buying a bicycle

We will to begin with be defined, how the bicycle will be used, and, proceeding from it, we will start to plan acquisition. To buy a bicycle follows in special shop – there to you will help to pick up a frame for growth, will give advice about operation and will spend first free THAT in a month.

Avoid so responsible purchase in a casual place: your health and a life can depend on durability and reliability of a bicycle. Recently the big distribution mountain bicycles of type hardtail (without an amortisation suspension bracket of a back wheel) as have received the most universal and reliable.

About the prices for bicycles: the qualitative bicycle with elastomeric a plug cannot cost more cheaply 300$, and the car for intensive operation costs from 700$ and should be equipped by a plug with oil shock absorber, such plug excellently holds a line and provides accuracy of management and safety on difficult downhill racings. The bicycle for races also can brag contact (automatic fastening) of pedals.

So, the bicycle is bought, and it is healthy! There are some directions of its application: drive, campaigns and, at last, competitions (race).

To beginning bicyclists

Driving – one-day run on a bicycle from 50 to 120 km. With a halt, survey of sights or search of unknown roads. Are recommended to beginners as excellent preparation for campaigns and perfect productive leisure. In Novouralsk there are at least two lineal descendants Ivan Susanin on a bicycle line. He is Konstantin Leknin (FatCat) and Alexey Maleev (Cockroach). At desire they can be found under these nicknames in an Internet forum on e1.ru.

To active bicyclists

Campaigns on a bicycle – travel lasting many days. For them the luggage carrier and backpacks-trousers is required to your friend. Travelling on a bicycle, it is possible to visit practically any corner of our country and to see immeasurably more than the motorist from a car window. In my opinion, it is the best way to spend holiday. Even days off with spending the night in wood and a supper on a fire leave weight of pleasant impressions and memoirs.

To competing bicyclists

Competitions on bicycle races are even more often spent in Ekaterinburg, on prizes of shops of sport equipment. The detailed information on a technique of preparation for start and it is a lot of about what still it is possible to find on a site velopiter. spb.ru. Those who leave on lines, do not name each other sportsmen or bicyclists, but will necessarily tell – the racer. This word in cycling – a synonym of a word “fighter” in single combats – a title which it is necessary to deserve. Bicycle races are shown people with ambitions, those who wishes to be tomorrow faster, than today. By the way, the world champion in races cross-country-country became recently Russian guy Jury Trofimov, and who knows, can, you following…

In summary I wish to give some the general councils:

1. Carry a helmet and carry with itself dressings.
2. Have in stock a repair set on a case of punctures.
3. Use, whenever possible, special bicycle clothes and footwear.
4. Try to eat correctly, avoid the use of beer and alcoholic drinks. Use daily milk and dairy products – a unique source of calcium, eat more than fresh vegetables.

So, happy journey and see you on roads. Movement – a life!

WE ARE GOING TO IN CONDUCTED THE CAMPAIGN

So, it will be necessary for your bicycle …

…in one-day campaigns and trips – a bag fixed under a frame or under a seat. In it it is possible to combine the repair complete set and tools, it is a little meal and, if to try, something else …

…in a campaign lasting many days – wings (guards), a bicycle luggage carrier, a bicycle backpack of type “trousers”. (For you it is excellent possibility to unload a back and to transport additional cargo). In a backpack pay attention to possibility for joining of additional capacities, presence retro-reflecting surface of elements, convenience in installation and durability.

Get special clothes of the bicyclist – breathing gloves with the truncated fingers (for summer), the bicycle form which will perfectly take away a moisture from a body and quickly it will evaporate. Colour of sports clothes – light tone (will protect from an overheat on the sun and stings of mosquitoes). Remember – natural fabrics in sportswear are inapplicable.

HUMOUR

You are the present biker, if:

1. You have irritation symptoms if you had not a seat on a bicycle of more than one day.

2. Passing street, you a hand show, where are going to to turn.

3. When you hear weather forecast, you estimate it, as excellent or not absolutely good for driving on a bicycle.

4. Planning the next holiday, you consider a bicycle as unique means of transportation.

5. You spend money for bicycle clothes twice more than for a target suit.

6. You collect parts of old bicycles instead of a collecting of stamps or coins.

7. When you sit down a wheel of the car and feel, that something not so, you put on a bicycle helmet and bicycle gloves.

8. When you go on the car try to half-rise on roughnesses of road.

Once in the morning I have come on training, and to me declared, that my Swallow (motorcycle) is not present, the club is closed.

VMH (bikemotocross) as the sports kind has appeared in 70th years of the XX-th century, when children (and also sportsmans cross-country motorcycle race) have seen a perspective shell in children’s bicycles. The basic advantages of bicycle VMH – small, restless, cheap, popular, not demanding special attention.

This kind of sports has received special popularity and the basic name in the USA in 80th years. Staginess has helped to gain to it general distribution. In Russia the strongest schools VMH – Omsk, Moscow, situated near Moscow, Udmurt (Sarapul), Mordovian (Saransk). In Omsk, for example, only in a city of 12 lines VMH. And in Moscow covered eurolines on which racers compete all-the-year-round are already constructed. For comparison: in all Sverdlovsk area while there is only one line – in Novouralsk.

Competitions on VMH share on three kinds: races for a time (on one for a while), race the classic (the eights on three arrivals, result on the typed points) and relay race (the eights, a command from 2 boys and 2 girls).

Oleg Aleksandrovich Mitjunin, the trainer of branch VMH at station of young technicians, the senior trainer modular VMH Sverdlovsk area.

- VMH as sports have appeared in Novouralsk in the nineties. Andrey Vladimirovich Shirokov was one of section founders. Then it with children has gone on children’s Olympic games to Moscow where our racers managed to get in prize-winners. Having arrived, have decided to construct line ВМХ in motor club territory.

- I have come to section eight years ago. In the first years were typed experience at colleagues from strong regions, went on seminars, something from the literature read, something from the Internet took. Today at me the sports program on trick cyclist on which I am engaged with children is developed.

The national team of the Ural federal district stably takes of the fourth-fifth position at the All-Russia competitions, competing with the strongest commands. Last year in a national team there were 7 persons from Sverdlovsk area, 4 – from Chelyabinsk. From seven sverdlovchan five novoural’cy: Andrey Vaganov, Andrey Matveev, Igor Shirokov, Michael Kljukin, Ljubov’ Kabakova.

- The jump on a bicycle is a flight on big enough distance, here it is necessary for bicycle racer to develop especial coordination, feeling of launch and a landing, ability to be grouped, fearlessness. For preparation for bicycle race it is necessary to spend special exercises – in the form of a jump, on knowledge of technics, tactics, on a combination.

- Today it is possible to say that on VMH have paid attention. If in the first years at us was a little unpretentious, in addition strongly shabby bicycles today we have 20 bicycles which part – expensive firm cars. We are completed as well with the special form, protection, helmets, even footwear this year have bought special for bicycle races. Now we among contenders are not allocated. Equipment, of course, not cheap, but on shoulders of parents material inputs do not lay down. In it a special merit of a management of station of young technicians and the Ministry of physical culture and sports of Sverdlovsk area. Besides, we plan building for territories of a city of one more special line VMH. Money for design jobs are allocated, we hope in some years to go for a drive on a modern bicycle line, to hold on it competitions, bicycle shows. VMH is very popular among youth and children mass sports. Our dream – to make its such in Novouralsk, to construct fragments of lines in court yard, to expand our section, to find trainers.

Sasha Gricov, 9 years. In section the second year is engaged. At the All-Russia competitions «Olympic hope» (Saransk, 2006) has occupied 7 place:

«To go for a drive on a bicycle very much it is pleasant. I want will learn to carry out difficult tricks. The most important thing – to be dispersed…»
