“Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I
no longer despair for the future of the human race”
The above quote of H G Wells rightly sums
up all about cycling. The bicycle is the humblest of all vehicles. It burns no
fossil fuel, is ultra light to handle, doesn’t need a license, is inexpensive
to buy and maintain, doesn’t face traffic problems, and on top of all, improves
the rider’s health.
Modern bicycles are made from light materials so riding is effortless compared to heavy bicycles of the older generation. Simple as it looks, the bicycle is made with hundreds of parts and accessories.
Sydney is the great city for bicycling. Standard bicycles available in stores are mass produced bicycles. However, the real joy of bicycling can be obtained by building a customized one with bicycle accessories in Sydney. Here I wish to tell about motorised bicycles.
For those not inclined to pedalling or
those who want the joys of fast riding combined with a fuel efficient vehicle,
there are motorised bicycles available as well (fitted with low capacity petrol
engines of 35 to 80 cc.)
One can also convert any standard bicycle
into a motorised one by using bicycle accessories in Sydney in a matter of few
hours. You just need to mount the engine and small petrol tank on bicycle frame
and then attach the driving chain between rear sprocket wheel and engine
sprocket. Now attach petrol pipe from the tank to the carburettor. Pushing the
pedals with foot will start the engine and opening the throttle slowly will
make the bicycle move.
If you find assembling difficult then you
can visit the internet and search sites specifically dealing with bicycle
engine mounting. They usually show step-by-step procedure with pictures or
videos on how to assemble it right.
One can also find spare bicycle
accessories in Sydney, including magneto, piston rings, spark plugs,
throttle cable, tank valve, engine studs, crank output bevel gear, brake lever
and carburettor. You are advised to keep these bicycle accessories as they
always come handy in case of breakdowns.
