I am short, like 5 foot. I want to use it for low to moderate exercise. Something Comfortable and durable. Maybe dark gray or dark blue. I live in St. Louis, so maybe from Dicks Sporting Goods or Walmart? I have not had a bicycle since I was a kid and am excited to own one again! Any suggestions are appreciated!

Answer
Dick's Sporting Goods? NO! K-Mart? NO! Target? NO! Sports Authority? NO! REAL bicycle shop? Hell YES!!! See links. Why? Because I live in St. Louis too. I know ALL the best shops in St. Louis.

Removing the front wheel from a mountain bike?

Chance Gar

Usually I bring my bike to the shop and let a bike mechanic replace the tube and tyre on my wheels for me but I can't afford it this time. I need to replace my front wheel tyre and I've got tyre on a spare bike that will fit the job. How easy is it to remove the front wheel? I'm just worried that I won't do the job properly and the wheel might come off when I'm cycling.

Answer
You're kidding. Everyone who owns a bicycle should know how to patch and/or replace a tube, which involves removing the wheels.
