best kids bike light image

I'm 41 years old and I'm 5'7" with a short 28" inseam. I like dual purpose dirt bikes, but I can't rest both feet on the ground. That's a problem at stop lights. How can I lower the bike for very minimal dollars? I don't want a kids bike either.
Answer
you can get a seat that is not as thick, or you can change shocks to a shorter shock, but that will mess up your suspension geometry. i suggest you get use to it or get a different bike.
P.S. you could also get a fat woman to set on back, but remember to wear a helmet so no one knows who you are.

How do you stop a bike chain from rusting?

All my kids have bikes. We have no room in the house for them and no garage or carport. THe chains have all gotten pretty rusty from the rain and stuff.
How can we get rid of the rust?
How can we prevent it from happening again?
Answer
First, if the bikes aren't covered or protected for example under a porch, or in your basement, or an unused room buy some heavy plastic sheets (8X8) at your local Ace Hardware and cover them. Second, buy some WD40 lubricant and spray this on the chain. Then while holding the rear wheel off the ground crank the pedals and wipe the oil and dirt off the chain using an old rag (repeat several times). Lastly lubricate the chain with a good light weight oil. Suggestions "3 & 1" oil, light machine oil, or SAE Grade 5W or 10W motor oil. You don't want a heavy coat. A good light coat should do it. Avoide lithium grease as it collects dirt.
