Video: Bicycle Anatomy 101

April 1st, 2008 by Tim Grahl

This is an amazing little video put together by Carlton Reid of Quickrelease.tv. It walks you through all of the parts of your bicycle and let’s you know what they are really called (as opposed to “that lever thingy”).

Let us know what you learned…

    My spokes have nipples.

    Nipples is a godsend tag for this video. I expect this will get it lots of extra views…from confused blokes expecting something else entirely.

    I also tagged it with ‘bottom’ and then, further on, ‘bracket’.

    Thanks for the link, CbB. And, thanks to Tim - and others - for helping me to spot the English-isms. Most of the American names for the bike parts shown are listed underneath the ones I’m familiar with.

    Hey, Mindy, you’ve hit the nipple on the head.

    Nipples is a godsend tag for this video. I expect this will get it lots of extra views…from confused blokes expecting something else entirely.

    great video, nice music to it too. I liked the way you detailed “seat post (not saddle post) and saddle (not seat)”
