Question:

I will be spending a lot of time on a bike in the next few months, any tips?

I am going green and trying to bike most places. Are there any tips about gear and safety? Recommendations on warm and moisture proof clothing would be a plus as well, as I live in Ohio and the weather is… kinda shitty. Thanks in advance!

Answer:

Never seen that in Southern California.
I did the following to resolve this problem: 1) Take down all the smoke detectors. If you have a CO monitor also hard wired, take it down as well. 2) For each detector, open the battery compartment so that there is no power to the detector. Hold down the test button until all beeping stops to drain the capacitor. The detectors usually have a capacitor that holds some charge even after disconnected from power and battery. 3) Close the battery compartment so that the detector is running on battery alone. If it starts to chirp, repeat with a new battery. If it chirps with a new, good battery, try blowing dust out of the detector and repeating. If it still chirps, get a new detector. 4) Once all detectors are working on battery power, connect them to power one by one. If the detector starts to chirp, then try a different detector in that location. If both chirp you probably have a wiring problem or connector issue at that location. If one chirps but the other does not, you probably have a wiring or connector problem on the chirping detector. I hope this helps. Most of this came from First Alert customer support. They were very helpful.
Sounds like a wheel bearing or a shock. If you jack up the right side. Grab your tire on the sides, push and pull on the sides. If there is any play it's your wheel bearing, Replace immediately! If that's not it then it's most likely your shock. Hope this helps.
