Talk:Slickrock Trail

message: Most of this section, while well-intentioned and perhaps useful to some riders, is not appropriate for Wikipedia, so I propose removing it.

thread_title:  NOTES ON RIDING THE SLICKROCK TRAIL 

message: Deaths on this trail and others in the area occur annually; it is important to note locations of drinking water, information pertaining difficulty, and notes about rider safety, as future riders of this trail will use this as a resource.  Because this is a famous trail, it attracts novice riders from around the world who commonly are under-protected and ill-equipped. The tail has some long and potentially fatal exposures, and as someone who has ridden the trail, having incorrect equipment, such as shoes, could be life threating. I amended the notes to be encyclopedic.
: As I noted above, advice does not in Wikipedia. I think that your edits were an improvement over the previous notes, and I've made some additional edits to improve readability, but removed some of the sentences that still constitute advice ("...is paramount...", "...is preferable", "...is integral"). People are more likely to die by straying from the trail and becoming lost, running out of water, or getting heat stroke, rather than being able to release from clipless pedals or getting an abrasion injury. That said, much practical advice can be had in the website and downloadable brochure about the trail from http://www.discovermoab.com/sandflats.htm . That was an inline link before but I've added that as the first external link because it has the official map that you get at the park entrance as well as tips for survival and minimal impact trail use. It would be rather foolish to only consult Wikipedia before heading out on the Slickrock trail, but I don't think that it is Wikipedia's responsibility to prevent people who do just that from getting into trouble. You mentioned that deaths occur annually - perhaps there is a statistic somewhere to cite that can be included in the article that would not only be a useful addition but also give the reader a sense of how dangerous the area can be.RosinDebow 18:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Silver Strand bikeway

message: This article falls short of Wikipedia standards in a number of ways. Wikipedia is not a travel guide, WP:NOTTRAVEL. Wikipedia is not for advertising. Wikipedia is not for how-to lists. 
My own impulse is to first salvage the worthwhile bits by putting them into the articles Coronado, California and Silver Strand (San Diego), and then either to blank the page and make it into a redirect, or to nominate it for deletion. However, I am not familiar with the standards here governing bicycling and bikeways. So I am posting this comment in hopes that someone who does know those things, maybe someone from WikiProject Cycling, will offer their opinions on whether to salvage this article or remove it. --MelanieN (talk) 02:58, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Party bike

message: The beer bike was not invented in the Netherlands in 1997. This story goes back to an advertising booklet for a Dutch bicycle café and ended up in an American sensational book about crazy bikes - both publications without any scientific claims.
A little test on the Delpher Dutch newspaper history website yields results like a beer bike festival and party bikes for rent in 1987; it is clear that the beer bike was already commonplace in the Netherlands in 1987. One would like to know more about the situation in other countries. Glatisant (talk) 09:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The party bike was invented long before 1997 

message: I hereby propose to merge Conference Bike into Party bike. Both are multi-passenger bikes powered by passengers facing each other, used primarily for tourism and team building. The conference bike, as pictured and described appears to be a specific example of the broader category of party bikes, but the names can probably interchange. The party bike article says that party bikes can be with or without serving. Looking at the pictures, the described "conference bike" appears to be smaller and more stable variant, but basically the same concept. Sauer202 (talk) 09:20, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

This surprises me. Well, it's hard to know what's meant by "manufacturing" bikes; but if it means manufacturing frames and then attaching to these frames components from elsewhere, then British bike manufacturers include Roberts, Burls, and more.

Talk:Timergara

message: Dara Utman Khel, also known as Shaikhan comprise of nine villages e.g., Maniband, Jabaghi, Zara Doghay, Koot Kusha, Sarebegham, Koot, Ghonday, Fazal abad and Shah Kuroonu. It lies in Timergara Urban counsel and located toward the  east of Timergara-Dir road. The inhibants of this area belong to the Mandal, subcast of Utman Khel. About 300 years back Abdur Rahim Khan, known as Toar Baba migrated from Bajawar and settled in Timergara. Abdur Rahim Khan was religious and pious personality and known as Toar Baba. But there are five other tombs that are known as Toar Baba in different places in Dir and Bajawar. All the people living there  assume the same cast, Mandal Utmankheil. One of the author Suliman Shahid discussed it very briefly in his recent book entitled as; Ghumnam Riasat;. Most probably Abdur Rahim Khan came to Timergara in the times of Akhund Derveza Baba and Toar Baba( the father of Akhund Ilyas Baba). The people of Dara Utmankheil are simple and known in the area for their unity, hospitality and bravery. The most peolple has their ownlands but no good agricturle in their fields, So their economy relies on commercial lands in Timergara Bazar or they doing jobs in Middle East. The education ratio is not high particularly in womens. They are typical pashtuns and observe the old pashtoon traditions. -- preceding unsigned comment added by User:Ilyasin at 2010-04-27T00:58:15 and primarily edited by User:Timergara at  2012-06-17T15:33:41.

Talk:Peanut butter wrench

message: I am a professional mechanic in a bicycle shop, and in my experience, any common 15mm socket will remove the bolt (or nut, on very old spindles) used to secure the crank arm to the bottom bracket spindle. This bolt or nut was only used on older square-taper bottom bracket spindles, as most modern square-taper bottom bracket spindles use a flanged bolt driven with an 8mm allen wrench. The older bolt and the newer bolt are interchangable. Newer Isis, Octalink, and external-bearing bottom brackets do not use a 15mm-headed bolt or nut at all. The "peanut butter wrench" style of wrench is the only one-piece wrench that I know of that will accomplish the task. I have adjusted the phrasing of the article to better indicate this.
As an aside, many companies make a wrench similar to this, that also incorporates a box-end or open-end wrench, or other tool, on the handle, or dip the handle in plastic or foam, all of which make the wrench less suitable for use as a peanut-butter-spreading tool. 71.209.51.18 (talk) 05:46, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
