best kids aluminum bikes image
lovemykids
My son is eight and bikes to and from school in the heat (we live in the topics). Lately I've noticed that he is really starting to smell. This evening he took a shower then we went to an event where he was running around with other kids. When we got home his shirt armpits really smelled like BO. I didn't know kids could start smelling so young. Neither my husband or I are "stong smelling" people. Any suggestions?
Answer
Everyone ought to use deodorant when they (or someone else!!!!) notices the odor! Nobody should have to 'wait' till a specific age to use deodorant (or to shave for that matter), it is highly personal and is dependent upon hormones, diet, activity, etc. My youngest son had to start using deodorant at about the same age as your son (I too, was surprised and asked the pediatrician).
Buy the guy a stick!!!
If you're worried about the aluminum being absorbed in his skin (possible link to Alzheimer's disease later on), start him out with the mineral salt type varieties. It works for a lot of folks, and the side effects in old age are nothing at all!). If it doesn't though.... Get him the regular variety. Just think if YOU had to go around all day STINKING.....Eewww. Your son is at one of the MANY fragile ages... Help him out. This is just what is normal for your son...

What should a 270lb person look for in a bicycle?

Will aluminum frames hold him? What about spokes, tires, etc? Can we just buy a standard mountain bike? Would that work?
Answer
there are 3 frames of bikes. the standard mountain bike frame, the road bike frame and the liedown frame. The bikes are pretty sturdy in that I have fallen down half of a mountain before as my bike hit a tree and a rock and a nest of hornets and a small Puppy (just kidding about the puppy). Most of these mountai biking companies like Trek, Gary Fisher, Specialized and Kona are tested to have alot of impacts. The frames are welded professionally as well as tested professionally before they are shipped.
I would recomend deflating the tires 5-10 psi to compinsate for the weight...Be careful tho if you are planning to take this offroad inflate the tire to normal psi. Alluminum tires and spokes should work just fine since all the weight is displaced between the frame and the fork (what holds the tires on) of the bike.
I would recommend buying a name brand bike like the abouve mentioned and only because a bike from walmart will not hold up...i.e you get what you pay for.
