In Davis we do a lot of biking. Going to school, the store, etcetera. So in order to remember the different names of a bike frame I drew a picture and labeled it, and I would like to share it to all of you. I think it's good to know some terminology, so you don't look like more of an idiot talking to the people that work in bike shops. Most just presume we are bike illiterate. Also, when buying a new bike make sure the top tube, if you're a guy, touches your crotch when you stand over the top tube, this means it should fit you. And raising the seat higher is recommended so you can get a proper leg extension. This causes your legs to hurt less because they stretch the muscles, and allows you to put more power into each push.
Ok, that's it, come back next time for another "lecture". And yes I already know you can google this information, but I just felt like posting it.
