Sports View for January
As the NFL playoffs approach, we look back at our pre-season Super Bowl prediction. I think I’ll stick with Minnesota vs New England. (I wouldn’t bet the farm on it, but it’s as good a bet as any other two teams.)

Buying Cycling Jerseys, Shoes And Other Bike Clothing Online
At one time you could only buy cycling equipment at your local
cycle shop, if they had what you wanted or you had to hope they
could order it and then you would have to wait for it to come
and hope it was the right size, colour or price. Then cycling
magazines started to have adverts for the bigger stores and you
could post off a cheque and wait for your prized article to
arrive. Now things could not be easier, your at home watching
the Tour de France on television, you see you hero attack on the
mountainous slopes of Alpe-d'Huez, what are those sexy carbon
cranks he's using? They look like FSA or are they Campagnolo,
they could be Stella Azurra, which are they? How much will they
cost? Where can I get them? Well, get on the Web, put the name
of that most wanted item into your search engine and see what it
comes up with. The next move can be nearly as exciting as riding
your bike up the mountains, that's making comparisons of all the
equipment, something you probably wont be able to do at your
local cycle shop and then ordering it online, the worst bit is
waiting for it to arrive.
All the top cycle components, clothing, frames and cycle
manufacturers have their own web-sites, once you've found what
you really want for your bike, most sites can link you to a
retail out let, from there, with the use of your credit card you
can order the goods on-line, or check out a store near to where
you live and if they stock what you are looking for. This is
best for items of clothing, shorts and jersey sizes vary from
one maker to another and there is nothing worse than receiving
your new professional look a like kit and it is too big or
small, so get down to your local cycle shop or sports store, try
on your choice for size and if all is OK, you can buy it there
and then or if you don't mind waiting and it's at a better
price, order and pay for it online and wait for it to arrive in
the post to your house.
How to wear comfortable cycling shoes
There are many cycling shoes on the market, and finding the
right ones for you can be hard. Look them up on the web, go
through the search engine or if you have a particular make in
mind, find them online and if you can't try some in a shop, this
is best, because size can be a problem, one manufacturer size 9
could be a half size bigger or smaller than another company, and
most of the best cycling shoes are Italian, so
remember that
European sizes are very different from American or English
sizes, and German shoes are wider and Italian shoes are narrower
and you may be looking for a size 44 or 45, so try as many
different shoes you can and then make your decision. Very
importantly with shoes is which pedal system you are using,
Look, Shimano, Campagnolo, Time and all the other systems have
different fittings on the sole of the shoe, check up which they
have on the shoe manufacturers web-site and then it should then
be safe to order them online.
An other good and very important item you could look for online
is a cycle helmet, as with most cycling goods there are many
different helmets on the market, some times the helmets you see
on the heads of the professionals are difficult to find, but
anything is possible on the net, just type it in and away you
go, it may be that just the helmet you are looking for is
available in Holland, get it ordered, it may take some time to
come but if its what you want it'll be worth it. Sizes of
helmets, like shoes can vary, so if it is possible to try before
you buy, then make sure it's a comfortable fit, the big
difference between cycle shoes and helmets is that helmets come
with different pads to go inside so you can make the helmet fit
exactly, which could help if you've ordered the wrong size, this
is not something you can do with cycling shoes.
The net is a great way to find the frame size you want for your
new bike, with the new sloping frame designs it can be tricky to
know which size to order, all frame designers have their own
ideas for what is best, so if you know the top tube length of
your present bike then you can compare online with the design
dimensions on the manufacturers web-site and then you will know
what size to order either at you local bike shop or from your
internet supplier. As this is probably the most important and
expensive thing you'll buy for your cycling, and so with online
shopping you can make sure you make the right decision.
