kids bike chain keeps falling off image
Ji
I like New Kids On the Block- Summer Time and
The Corrs- Summer Sunshine.. :)
Answer
Sunshine by Atmosphere
Ain't no way to explain or say
How painful the hangover was today
In front of the toilet, hands and knees
Trying to breathe in between the dry heaves
My baby made me some coffee
Afraid that if I drink some it's probably coming right back out me
Couple of advil, relax and chill
At a standstill with how bad I feel
I think I need to smell fresh air
So I stepped out the back door and fell down the stairs
The sunlight hit me dead in the eye
Like it's mad I gave half the day to last night
My bad sight made me trip on my ass right into that patch of grass like that's life
All of a sudden, I realize something
The weather is amazing, even the birds are bumpin
Stood up and took a look and a breath
And there's that bike that I forgot that I possessed
Never really seen exercise as friendly
But I thing something's telling me to ride that 10 speed
The brakes are broken, it's alright
The tires got air and the chain seems tight
Hopped on and felt the summertime,
It reminds me of one of them Musab lines like
[Chorus 2X]
Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine
If I could I would keep this feeling in a plastic jar
Bust it out whenever someone's actin hard
Settle down, barbeque in the backyard
The kids get treats and old folks get classic cars
Every day that gets to pass is a success
Every woman looks better in a sun dress
The sunshine's an excuse to shoot hoops, get juice
Show improve their moves and let loose
I hear voices, I see smiles to match em
Good times and you can feel it in the fashion
Even though the heat cooks up the action
The streets still got butterflies
Enough kids to catch 'em
Ridin my bike around these lakes man
Feelin like I finally figured out my escape plan
Take it all and the day started off all wrong
Somehow now that hangover is all gone
Ain't nothing like the sound of the leaves
When the breeze penetrates these southside trees
Leanin' up against one, watchin the vibe
Forgettin' all about the stress, thanking god I'm alive
It's so simple, I had to keep the song simple
When I get home I'm gonna open all the windows
Feelin all right, stopped at a stop sign
A car pulled up, bumpin Fresh Prince's Summertime
[Chorus 2X]

do you think the number of people using bicycle will change in the future?

Answer
Not to be a party-pooper, but my feeling is that there will NOT be a notable increase in bicycle usage in the near future (5-10 yrs) in the US.
Why?
1. People are attached to their cars. Despite favorable weather and road conditions, the vast majority (probably near 95%) of cyclists I see on the road are on recreational or training rides, not commuting.
2. Oil prices have stabilized. OPEC wanted the crude price to settle near $70, and market speculators seem content. China stockpiled crude oil (as well as other raw materials) for its high growth, but China's economy has slackened as well and won't be driving up the price of crude in the near future.
3. Even at $5/gal, people still got in their cars last summer and drove like all was normal, even though their very actions (high speed of travel, frequent short trips, etc) were keeping the fuel prices high. Stupid is as stupid does.
4. Even during the Great Depression, most people kept their automobiles. Even at the cost of parting with other, possibly more important, belongings. Even when they had no money for gasoline or any need to drive. The auto brought independence at a high cost.
5. By far, most communities have lagged behind their once star-studded plans for bicycle infrastructure. Even when the economy was strong, there was seldom that extra bit of money necessary for striping bike lanes, installing racks, or cleaning the rubbish out of existing bike lanes and shoulders. Now there is no money for such worthy public works. City councils will still speak boldly of their ambitions in the interim, but very little will be done to make the roads safer for commuting and recreational bicyclists.
6. Commuting by bike isn't expensive, but it isn't free either. For short commutes to work, school or the store, it's cheaper than driving. But it still requires an outlay of finances. Consumables such as tires, chains and cables wear out. Bikes need regular care and maintenance. The average commuter will depend on someone else (the LBS) to do this work.
7. Cycling still falls behind the gym in popularity with fitness buffs. The gym is always there, many are always open, and there's no concern with weather, hazards, or any other "inconveniences" that still pale in comparison to what our ancestors dealt with on a daily basis.
8. Bike manufactures have nurtured a culture that road cycling is for the more affluent. High modulus carbon frames, integrated shifting, proprietary wheelsets, ceramic bearings, blahblahblah. While this isn't true of certain makers, it is true of the "big four" (c-dale, trek, specialized, giant). The high cost is a turn off for those that are financially conservative and a complete obstacle for those that lack the disposable income altogether. The technology is a great option, but the shops are killing off potential customers with their constant upselling.
9. Off road access for mtbikers is becoming limited in some areas. State parks and wilderness areas have closed access to some trails for fiscal reasons, and other trails are now off limits to bikes for liability reasons.
10. Kids don't ride bikes like they did 10, 20, or 30 yrs ago. They spend more of their time inside on various networking sites or playing Wii or PS17. It's not uncommon to hear of teens and young adults that are trying to learn to ride a bike for the first time,,,or have no interest in riding as an adult because they never learned as a child.
So, yeah, I say no significant increase in cyclists in the short term in the States.
