what does RIDING RIMS mean?

The car's wheels have lost all the rubber on the tires, and\nit is riding, literally on its rims(or wheels).  Is this a test?

Wheel alignment is how aligned wheels are with respect to each other. For example, you wouldnt want your front wheels to point away from each other.... they would rub themselves off as they rolled.  \n\nWheel balancing is balancing the weight of the wheel on its center. If one side of a tire was to weigh a few ounces heavier then the other side, it would vibrate when you drive at higher speeds.\n\nJust take your car to a repair shop.

Wheelman - the getaway driver\n\nGreaseman - your "tight space" man.  He can get through airducts and other narrow passageways.\n\nBellini - A big caper.  Lots of money, often with lots of risks\n\nMullinsky - A fall guy.  Takes the rap and goes to jail (for a substantial fee).

Nothing to do with angular momentum. \n\nIf you weight the rims of the wheels of a bike to increase the angular momentum so that the wheels behave like a gyroscope (bike wheels are really light usually), the bike becomes almost impossible to ride.\n\nA bike stays upright because the centre of gravity at the front wheel is slightly behind where the wheel touches the ground (the bike forks bend forward). Because of this, if the bike tips to the right the front wheel turns to the left and vice versa. \n\nIf the bike is stationary this does not help a lot.\n\nBut if it is moving forward this tends to steer the bike out of toppling in the direction of lean, and this helps you to balance the bike ( a bike with no rider always falls over - its your sense of balance that keeps it upright).\n\nThe fast the bike goes, the more pronounced the self correcting steering is.\n\nPS bikes have been made with the forks bent backwards so that the self steering is in the direction of lean, so exaggerating a loss of balance -it is hysterical to see someone try to ride this sort of bike

The wheel rotates while the axle connects two or more wheels together and provides a means for the wheel to be used for motion (as in a vehicle).

It is certainly necessary if you are riding and riding and riding -- to preserve your health.\n\nAs to whether you have a 'good' ride, that depends on numerous other factors.  \n\nHow hot it is.  Or cold.\nWhether you ride safely.\nThe traffic.  Other riders.\nLoose dogs. Sudden rain.\nWhether or not you are on a dedicated bike path.\nWhether you brought a good lunch.\nWhether you have good company.\nWhether your girl friend says let's give up and go home.\nOpposing winds...etc.

I think you nailed it. It fits the definition of a sport, \n\n"an active diversion requiring physical exertion and competition" .

I have been wondering this myself, it goes with "why do people put $2000 rims on a $500 car?"

I put a pair of Specialized Cumulous (or something) on my old mountain bike to use it in the city.  The fact is that on asphalt, 26-inch road slicks are *way* better than knobbies. They're faster and corner better, and if the asphalt is wet, they're just safer.

NoT to make noise..They are not put in the wheel in such a way that they make noise..\nThe cards that people _Not only fixie riders but MAINLY riders of Alleycat races and messenger championships/events  put in their wheels are  often race numbers..or sometimes proof that you went to a checkpoint or finished a ride...I have seen other types of cards in wheels ranging from art projects to porn playing cards..\n\nI know putting  card in spokes started around S.F. in the messenger community long before alley cats were conceived -with the GAME SPOKE POKER which was played by picking up playing cards you found in the street and putting them in your wheel (s)and then comparing them to others hands...the rules we used said that you could  play a dfferent hand in each wheel  --in the late 80's there was even a band by that name. (also in reference to a pipe cleaner--made from a spoke).look where its come too..an event isnt an event if there isnt a special spoke card...

That's when people are driving and they see an accident or a car pulled over on the side of the road.  Instead of focusing on driving, they slow down and turn their heads to see what's going on.  That's called rubber necking.

Think of the wheels as spinning masses or revolving weights, in fact gyroscopes. \nEach wants to turn left or right while spinning but is constrained by it's axis,\nHowever both drift overtime.\nNow add another pair further back and wider apart, and this pair are not on the same line of travel.\nWith four wheels all wanting to drift the resultant direction becomes a straighter line.

Harmful:\n-means that the rider must exert extra energy to accelerate and thre friction acting on the wheels slow the bicycle down\n-air friction/resistance also acts in a way that requires more energy input to maintain a constant velocity or accelerate.\n\nBenificial:\n-Without friction, the wheels would just spin in place when you pedel, you could not accelerate at all.\n-I dont know about you, but when I ride a bicycle down a big hill, I like the fact that my brakes work...this is due to friction.

Get a book. "The Bicycle Wheel" by Jobst Brandt is the best out there.\n\nIf you don't know what you're doing, you can cause more harm than good. Proper wheel truing involves maintaining correct and even spoke tension throughout the wheel.\n\nNot only to you have to worry about lateral adjustment (while maintaining the proper wheel dish - meaning the rim is centered over the hub), you also need to ensure that the wheel stays round. Experience will better enable you to disscern whether the rim is out of round to the high side or low side of things (in this way, you'll also know whether you need to increase or decrease spoke tension - but remembering that you should be mindful of balancing things out on the opposite side of the wheel).

Yeah, usually. Its the 'single-speed' riders that like having no brakes.

It could mean back a car up as go in reverse.\nIt could mean back up as in your a real fine lady when you back that thing up, meaning put her rear toward you.\nIt could mean back up as in start over when something isn't working out as you planned.\nYou didn't give context, or I am sure I might have been more thorough.
