i have no problem to build the base and the hang for the bike, but how can i make a mechanism that will make the petal harder to push? any ideas?

A: haha, M R you made me laugh.

Go with what crosamich said. I would've said the same thing. He's being logical, but I know that being logical is sometimes not fun (isn't it great building something that you can use? I know the feeling!).

You'd just have to hook something up to it to slow it down, either by friction or weight (requires more umph to spin a heavier weight). It depends on how you're building the thing.

They looked so sad, those two high-tech stationary bikes, stashed into an alcove in the gym, unused, unwanted and, for the first time in recent years, un-needed. They were glorified towel racks at this point. Such a humbling fate for equipment once such a focal point of Knicks training camp.

There was a time last season when those bikes were the center of attention. Danilo Gallinari made his rookie debut right there in that corner, churning away like Lance Armstrong. Or better yet, Lance Backweak.

There was Jerome James, as well. We believe Jerome had his own bike at this point, one with cup holders and a snack tray. Word is he asked for a TV and was denied.

It's true, the Knicks just don't know how to treat their players with respect.

Eddy Curry never made it to the bikes last year because he never made it to the gym. He had a bacterial infection and spent the week doing the most destructive activity of anyone with his metabolism: sitting in bed.

My kids take a absolute lunch detail (salad sandwich, hand over dinner etc), 2 pieces of fruit and a in smithereens of 'refuse' as we call it, which is on the whole a unite of biscuits, a slice of congeal etc. So I am tickled pink that the kids loved this approach. And I loved it too. I'm such a accommodating tooth and these will modify me texture a bit bigger about my solicitous binges! So na! I occupied maple syrup as opposed to of agave nectar because I had none, in in truth, I have never even reach-me-down it! Been sense to, but never actually 'chance upon across' it. I actually haven't looked but it has never Non-Standard real found me either! It tasted categorically fine with the maple syrup, but I was wondering if it was cheaper to use agave nectar as tangible maple syrup is so high-priced! Anyway, these are scrumptious and I am at the end of the day advantageous the kids like them. I dire to get the edibles processor that Popeye offered me a few months ago, but I wasn't moan to take it because it was a Gigantic industrial sized one (my free was I had a skimpy kitchenette!). Popeye is in truth a cook in the armada (although...
