...Freeride Mountain Biking There are many forms and activities that evolve in the sport of mountain biking. Whether you enjoy riding for fun, exercise, or be competitive in the sport, there is usually a type of riding that may appeal to just about anybody. Various types of riding may include the casual rider, the competition road biker, or from the adventure seeking cross country rider, or maybe you are like myself and love the thrill and adrenaline of the freeriding part of the sport. Freeriding in my opinion is the most fun and rewarding style of riding especially if you enjoy nature, although it can be extremely dangerous. “Freeride is a discipline of mountain biking closely related to downhill biking and dirt jumping focused on tricks, style, and technical trail features. It is now recognized as one of the most popular disciplines within mountain biking.” [1] The expression freeriding was originally adopted by snowboarders, meaning riding without a set course, goals, or rules on natural terrain. In mountain biking, it is riding trails with the most creative line possible that includes style, amplitude, control and speed. Freeriding takes place down a challenging mountainside with many single track trails that have numerous different obstacles as you descend downwards through the rocks and trees. In our area, the best place to travel to is none other than Upper Peninsula’s beautiful Marquette that offers some of the best mountain biking around. Single track trails...

...Climbing Rock climbing is an activity that can be performed individually or as a group. It involves ascending a steep object e.g. a rock face. Climbing is usually done with specialist equipment such as rope, harness and climbing shoes. The national governing body for climbing is the BMC, British mountaineering council. There are many places around the world that you can climb, some are natural and some manmade. There are many different types of climbing for example, top rope, lead, bouldering and solo climbing. Climbing is a popular sport in the UK and there is an increasing number of people taking up climbing, one of the reasons for this is because no matter what age or ability climbing is available to everyone. The grading system rates a climb according to its technical difficulty of the route. A hard grade would be 9+ and an easier grade would be an F4. There are thousands of places around the world with some amazing places to climb and there are also lots of indoor climbing walls which give you a great opportunity to climb whatever the weather. Climbing competitions are held all over the globe and there is coverage of some of the bigger events on TV and the internet which inspires more and more people to want to take part.

...their cost on the production and the inventory. Let x4m be the amount of mountain bikes produced in April Let x5m be the amount of mountain bikes produced in May Let x6m be the amount of mountain bikes produced in June Let x4r be the amount of road bikes produced in April Let x5r be the amount of road bikes produced in May Let x6r be the amount of road bikes produced in June Since each mountain bike frame costs $200 and each road bike costs $250, then the total production cost would be 200x4m+x5m+x6m+250(x4r+x5r+x6r). The carried-over inventory costs $10 for each bike frame. We got 150 in store before the three-month production plan and it costs 150∙10=$1500. Then for each month, we have 50+x4m+100+x4r-1300 for the carryover from April to May; 50+x4m+100+x4r-1300+x5m+x5r-1700 for the carryover from May to June. Hence these carryovers are going to cost $10 for each as well. Put everything together and simplies it we have the objective function: Minimize Z=220x4m+210x5m+200x6m+270x4r+260x5r+250x6r-38500 For resources constraints, the machine time and labor cannot exceed the available amount. We have the following constraint functions: 1.5x4m+1.6x4r≤3000; 1.5x5m+1.6x5r≤3000; 1.5x6m+1.6x6r≤3000; x4m+1.2x4r≤2400; x5m+1.2x5r≤2400; x6m+1.2x6r≤1800; For inventory constraints, it wants to end the month of June with inventories of 100 of each frame.

...Bikes to Rwanda: A Story of Prosperity XXX XXX ETH/316 November 26, 2012 XXX XXX Bikes to Rwanda: A Story of Prosperity Stumptown Coffee Roasters is a small coffee roaster in Portland, Oregon that buys its fair trade coffee from co-ops around the world, including the Karaba Co-op from Rwanda, Africa. During a meeting Stumptown asked the Karaba what they needed. One of the answers was bikes to help transport the coffee from the hills to the processing centers. Thus, the Bikes to Rwanda Project non-profit organization was born. Bikes to Rwnada was started to help the developing communities achieve economic stability, sustainability, prosperity and even pride. With help from bicycle maker Tom Ritchey, founder of Ritchey Design, Bikes to Rwanda designed bikes with longer frames to be able to transport up to 350 lbs. Until Bikes to Rwanda started providing bikes, workers had to carry bags full of cherries up and down the steep muddy unpaved hills one bag at a time. Now, workers can carry up to two bags at a time and much quicker than before. Tom Ritchey also help to found Project Rwanda, another non-profit organization dedicated to provide coffee bikes to West Hills Coffee. Rwanda is a war-torn country in Africa. One of Rwanda’s main products is coffee. After years of war and genocide, the country’s coffee farms were destroyed and poverty was high. Bikes to Rwanda provides bikes at a discounted rate of around $120 (GOOD Worldwide, LLC, 2007). Those who want...

...I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FreeRiders, Inc. is one of the leading specialty mountain bike design and manufacturing firms in the world, and caters to professional cyclists, primarily in the mountain bike/extreme sport sub-category. Despite its reputation as a leader in competitive cycling, FreeRiders receives the majority of its revenue through high-end mountain bike sales. Each FreeRiders bicycle is hand-made in the US in FreeRiders’ machine shop in Everett, Massachusetts, consistent with the FreeRiders mission to “produce high-quality custom, one of a kind bicycles in the USA… designed and manufactured by and for the professional road and extreme sport rider.” As a small company with fewer than twenty full-time employees and a host of freelance and part-time help, FreeRiders, Inc. is faced with strong competition in the category from larger bike manufacturers who, in recent years, have increased their advertising and PR budgets by an estimated seventy-five percent, and offset their costs by pushing production overseas. Economic pressures due to inflated production costs and competitors’ increased market share have lead FreeRiders to re-assess its goals for the future. This new strategic plan will unfold in several phases and include a 9-month-to-market new product line extension, a five year plan to increase revenue to between two and five million, and a long term plan to ensure the company’s viability ten years and beyond.

...often true and sometimes false, sadly there is definitely a high amount of false advertisement. Knowing which advertisements are what they are claiming to be can be almost impossible. Completing research on the desired product and choosing the company that makes the highest quality product while offering a competitive price is the best way to proceed. The marketing for recumbent bicycles does not use every media outlet that is available for advertising. Most of the advertising for recumbent bicycles is through the Internet and magazines. Another method of advertising used is through the use of celebrities, such as Lance Armstrong. Advertisement through product placement is also used in movies and television. Word of mouth advertising has also been a source for sales in relation to these bicycles. These types of bicycles are used in multiple publicized races and as a result indirect marketing was achieved. (Champion Cycling) Recumbent bicycles are unique, especially when compared to the typical bicycle that consumers have been using for many years. The makers of these bikes chose to advertise mainly through the Internet because they thought consumers were already aware of the product and...

...Also, he talks about a hot tub that was placed in the backyard, which I thought to be a strange component of the story. Anyways, as they party into the night, my teacher decides to leave just simply to get some rest. My thoughts grew apprehensively as the story spiraled down. As he exits the house, he notices that his car is blocked in the driveway to the point where he is unable to move out. He asks his buddy if he could borrow his bike to ride home in which his buddy replies “sure.” Penney skittered to where the bike was located and gingerly seated himself on. He made his way to the house where he lay down in a recumbent position and proceeded to sleep into the morning. It just so happened that during that same night, a man by the name of Jason Penney was pedaling to a convenience store when he was murdered. Instantly arising a sense of panic and, more so, a sense of morose or plaintive feelings, that morning would be different from any other morning Mr.Penney would have. His house mates found out about all of this while Penney was still asleep in his room upstairs. Emotions became ultimately profound in this section in this story due to the unforeseen situation Penney would...
