bicycle rental business in spain?
im just wondering what peoples opinions are regarding my idea to start a bike rental business in spain(which has some stunning bike trails for all enthusiasts), renting decent quality mountain bikes, but also offering racing & kids bikes, plus safety gear & car racks for transportation.
also to keep my costs down i would store the bike in my garage & the rentals would take place by delivering the bikes to clients
any opinions would be greatly appreciated!
answers:
You probably want to consider the location. You do not want to rent good bikes to your common English holiday yob. This probably means setting up in a location desirable to bikers and families. You would need to set up a premisis at the area. I think that delivering bikes is going to increase your costs and have you running from pillar to post.
Look at locations that you would like to ride in (Mountains/ woodland). Also, see if you can make contact with some of the biking holiday firms. Get their input and perhaps look at a holiday package partnership.). You will probably also need to find out about the law, especially regarding liability.
Write to MBR and see what they say.
Good luck.

answers:
That is actually a brilliant idea, you would need good security for your garage too though, they are quite fly there. Good bikes and the safety gear compared to what they have there would be really good. Go for it and I wish you the best of luck. Xx

Algebra q’s giving me trouble?
Graph each equation:
Y – X= 3
At 2:00 Branden rented a mountain bike from The Slick Rock Cyclery. He returned the bike at 5:00, after cycling 18 mi. Branden paid $12 for the rental.
a) Find Brenden’s average speed, in miles per hour.
b) Find the rental rate, in dollars per hour.
c) Find the rental rate, in dollars per mile.
Solve using the elimination method
1/3x + 1/5y= 7
1/6x – 2/5y= -4
answers:
1. Change to y = x + 3
2. A. 6 mph
b. $4 per hr
c. $2 per 3 miles
3. Y = 5/3
x = -28

Hi,
Graph each equation:
Y – X= 3
y = x + 3 is the equation in slope intercept form.
It would go through the points (-3,0), (-2,1), (-1,2), (0,3), (1, 4), and (2, 5).
At 2:00 Branden rented a mountain bike from The Slick Rock Cyclery. He returned the bike at 5:00, after cycling 18 mi. Branden paid $12 for the rental.
A) Find Brenden’s average speed, in miles per hour. 18 miles/3 hours = 6 miles per hour <==ANSWER
b) Find the rental rate, in dollars per hour. $12/4 hours = $4 per hour <==ANSWER
c) Find the rental rate, in dollars per mile. $12/18 miles = $.67 or 2/3 of a dollar per mile <==ANSWER
Solve using the elimination method
1/3x + 1/5y= 7
1/6x – 2/5y= -4
2(1/3x + 1/5y= 7)
1/6x – 2/5y= -4
2/3x + 2/5y= 14
1/6x – 2/5y= -4
————————-
5/6x = 10
x = 12
If x = 12 and 2/3x + 2/5y= 14, then:
2/3(12) + 2/5y= 14
8 + 2/5y= 14
2/5y = 6
y = 15
x = 12 and y = 15 <==ANSWER
I hope that helps!!

Seattle bike rentals?
Does anyone know a good bike shop in/near Seattle that rents good quality mountain bikes, by the day or week — Trek, Specialized, etc.?
Thanks very much.
answers:
I know that Play-It-Again Sports has bike rentals and they’ve had some nice looking bikes outside on display for rent. There are multiple locations, Lynnwood, Woodinville, Seattle, and others, but I know for sure that the one right near downtown right by the corner of Denny and Stewart (I think, within a block or so, it’s on Stewart) definitely has rentals.

Summertime Outing Around Denver?
My family is coming to visit (Mom, Grandma, and two teenage brothers) for labor day weekend. We will have just moved to Denver by then and I am wondering what will be the best thing for all of us to go do. I was thinking of going to Breckenridge b/c it is a neat town that has a lot of shopping for my wife, mom and grandma; while my brothers and I can go mountain biking or something. Is there anywhere else that anyone would recommend over Breck. I am also a little concerned that the mountain biking might be a little expensive since my two brothers will be renting bikes and plus we will need lift tickets (I guess).
answers:
Winter Park also offers mountain biking I personally have never tried it but it is a little closer than breck. Just depends on how far you want to drive. But you are gith about the shopping thing though.
