Mine mysteriously is missing and the air won’t stay in the tire, but I don’t know if the tire is damaged of if the cap matters. Can anyone help?

Yes and no.
The presence of caps prevents accidental pressing of the stems.
The lack of the caps has no functional use, except preventing the above problem.
If the air will not stay in your tire, you have a flat. You could have a damaged valve stem, or a hole in the tube. Either way, you’ll have to buy a new tube. Most reputable shops will sell patch kits, but rarely (if ever) use them.
I saw a gentleman wearing a very nice polo shirt today, it was red and the inside of the collar leading to the back of where the buttons are sewed on were like a plaid of some color. I wasn’t able to see a visible name on the shirt itself because it was very plain but the logo embroidered into was a high wheel bicycle. Can anyone help me to identify the company which produces this polo shirt?

You mean a penny-farthing, one of those old bikes from back in the day? God only knows; there are SO MANY people out there making “polo shirts” now with various things embroidered on them. I guess they ran out of ways to rip off a polo player riding a horse so now they’re putting people riding bicycles instead. Sheesh.
I am a petite petite female living in SE England. I want to find some cycle clothing that fits. I am 32A / 24 / 32; size 6; I wear girls age 11 / 12 clothing as a rule of thumb. I would like to find clothing that actually fits. I cycle a lot and am one of the worlds sweaty people. I get very hot so want lightweight breathable clothing. I just can’t find anything small enough. Most XS sizes start at an 8 for the big people.
People who love sports usually can’t resist mountain biking. The sport is considered to be most adventurous and also provides an amazing back country experience. The tour is enjoyable especially if you have taken good experience in bike riding.
If you have already had a pedaling experience on an exercise bike, you would enjoy your tour. It is time to carry some maps and go ahead with your challenging expedition. The outdoor game will get you acquainted with the nature and also help you stay fit and also in good shape. You would simply love racing down the mountain. It may seem to be a dangerous game but the thrill would allure towards it to experience more.
Thus you want to be a manufacturer made on ordering of bicycle? The friend good, before you precipitate outside and buy this kit of motor bike, that which will place you on the road at the richness and the fame, will stop and think of the level of the expertise and of art the higher manufacturers reached. To think in a paramount way of how long it took them to reach it! Let us look at some principal questions…
Education You would be astonished as informed higher manufacturers much of today of bicycle are. Several of them have the degrees (even more than one!) to extend from the mechanical engineering to the businesses and the management of marketing. The lane of Billy, the founder of carver Inc., has several patents concerning the technology of motor bike in its name for example. And somebody little more “old school” like Dave Perewitz? Dave accumulated of almost forty years of a mechanical experiment, to metallurgy and painting. Nontheoretical hands, but true tops, kind of end of night of morning early of experiment.
Whether your bicycle equipment is stored in your garage or a room in your home, there is no reason for it to look messy and dirty. Bicycle storage can be attractive and convenient with a few design techniques that can make a bicycle easy to store and use, even in a small apartment. This will not only keep your bicycle out of the way, it will also make it easier to maintain your equipment properly.There are a number of storage options for the bicycle itself. Some people store their bicycles in a hall closet. Others install hooks from which their bicycles are suspended. Another great choice is a bicycle rack that can hold multiple bicycles and equipment, such as the Delta Cezanne Bike Rack at orsracksdirect.com. If you work on your bicycle yourself, using a bicyclework stand to store your bicycle can get it off the floor and maximize your storage potential.
Buckets, toolboxes and mesh bags can hold bicycle gear. Plastic tubs or rolling shelves – kitchen shelves can make good equipment stands – can hold larger items. A cute way to store small items is to get some bicycle baskets from secondhand stores and paint them to match the room decor. Use them to store your gloves, tools, even bicycleclothing.
