six years ago I took my bike in Toledo (Spain) and went to Rome for the route of the Imperial emissaries, carrying some letters to Pope John Paul II, who received me in audience, and each year I have been joined by more people to enjoy the pleasure of going around the world by bike for solidarity, a part of our vacation.
solidarity bikes have already gone EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST, AND ASIA, have built a center for orphaned children in Nepal, 33 wells in Cambodia which are drinking more than 5,000 people have donated over 600 bicycles to children who are miles from their schools to have a future, a women's hospital stay burned in India, and four centers for children rescued from child prostitution in Asia.
Every year travel 2500kms. in 20 days, pedaling from dawn until dusk falls, provided by routes away from the conventional circuits, share their experiences with the people in small towns through which they pass, and every night is a party in the village where he finished stage.
pilgrim traveling by plane, eating the same as the local people and are staying in small huts and even nights in the open, the motive of the project life is traveling, adventure and sport, always under the umbrella of solidarity and respect for the environment. Values \u200b\u200bmove their businesses to their daily lives, OPENING, humanism, and CLOSE ... above all enthusiasm.
Despite difficult times now, companies have sought to collaborate each year to continue supporting this charity project on two wheels. Enterprises and Institutions as ADECCO MEDICAL & SCIENCE, CAJA MADRID, J. GARCIA CARRION, DANONE, JUNTA DE CASTILLA-LA MANCHA DON SIMON COLONEL Tapiocca or are involved in helping the needy.
This year will leave the source of the Nile in Uganda and will visit Rwanda, the Congo, Burundi, Tanzania, to reach the Masai Mara in Kenya. In Burundi and are building a multi-purpose building, which will be home school for orphans of tribal wars between Hutus and Tutsis, hospital for 15,000 people in the area, and agricultural training school for women, will be a difficult journey, a journey with great risks to go through war zones, but these riders solidarity, which are the Quixote CENTURY all worth it because you get the smile of a child.
only remains to comment that the people who have undertaken this challenge we understand that we must convey to young people, who devote part of their time to the world of solidarity and thus understand they may have a happier life with fewer needs.

While for most people all bikes are equal or only large and small, a variety of models and special bikes that are ideal for the specific use for which they were designed.
In this article we will see what kind of bikes there so they can be distinguished and, especially, when they want to buy one, know what is best for them.
1. Tourers: its origins date back to the 60 or so and you could say are the formula one of the bicycles. The design idea is to have thin tires to produce the minimum friction with the ground and minimize the difficulty of the exercise. There are aluminum and even carbon fiber and equipped with 10 gears and weights back around 8 kilos below 7 even the most professional. Its ideal use is in paved roads and good quality since they can not fall into pits or spoil. Such Once the position is too bent and disturb people less accustomed, but it's the best position to go fast.
2. Mountain bikes: the origin of these machines is the mid-70 in United States and thanks to the versatility and comfort have won the most important number of bicycles sold today. His position is more upright and comfortable and more stable for its size tires that allow you to walk on roads, trails in the mountains but a little slower than tourers by friction and grip of the tires. Front suspension have the majority and may have some very professional sophisticated that they even have hydraulic disc brakes. It can be a good choice if you want to have some multi-like going to work out the weekend, bring it to the beach and stuff.
3. Freestyle: These are bikes ring 20 used to do stunts and young people use them for transportation by the "wave" emanating. Have only one speed and since the end of these have handles that rotate 360 \u200b\u200bdegrees independent of the front brake, this system is called the rotor. The saddles, these bikes are low and therefore not an option at the time of transport because they do not allow an optimum position for cycling and a lot of comfort. Are incredible maneuvers in these bikes and use them in the skate park ramps, jumps and even in urban areas with railings, stairs and curbs. 4. Hybrid: bicycle wheel rim is 28 and the tourers but with thicker tires and drawing for use on a little more rural. Can have 27 speeds and front suspension a little tour, just for comfort. Its driving position is more relaxed and the person is handled much more upright. Can be used by the breakthrough that provide their wheels are larger than the mountain bikes and thanks to its versatility in the city because they can carry rack and baskets to carry backpacks or general cargo.
This was a brief sample of the bikes that are most commonly seen in the city. Other uses are primarily recreational and those of trial, urban, bmx, downhill, among others, which will be explained in another article.
The folding bike is also having a big boom and its small size is of a little imposing as it takes up on the subway or in the trunk of a friend's car to get closer to our destination, and then use this new machine to get to work or school.
According to these descriptions, to make choosing your future bike be more informed and make a good decision is always advised by an expert in the field to guide him in size and components of your new toy.

The bicycle as we know it is around since 1885-about-and since then the idea has remained almost unchanged: two wheels, a structure on which are mounted management component called a transmission frame and driving force exerted by our legs to the rear wheel that makes it move.
