What are the average bike speeds for a road bike, mountain bike, 3 speed, cruiser and a bmx?




The poor P


I would like to buy one of each


Answer
The speed is dictated by you, your abilities and the terrain or conditions, there is no real average as there are too many variables.
Now what would buying one of each do being it sounds like you don't have a bike now? Decide what, where or how your going to ride and narrow your choice down and perhaps buy one of each over time.

Jaguar 3 Speed Road Bike rare?




la


Is a jaguar 3 speed road bike that is made in west germany rare?? the stickers are all in german and its not a schwinn jaguar does anybody know anything about this bike??


Answer
Jaguar was a brand made in the late 60s to early 70s in Germany and Poland (and perhaps a couple of other European countries) and was commonly sold at places like Pep Boys, Joe the Motorist Friend, and Millers Auto Supply. They were also a common name in toy and department stores. I would not be at all surprised to find them in the UK and Germany still.

You can determine the year of manufacture like this... the letter indicates the year- 1967 was "A", 1968 was "B", etc. I once wrote to the importer to find out just what the serial number meant and got this response. The remaining numbers indicate a production code without meaning to anyone but the factory.

Usually selling beside almost identical models from Derby, President and Executive, and the U.S. made Iverson, these were common bikes of the day, selling at prices from $39.00 to perhaps as much as $100.00.

My first ten speed was a Derby, I remember saving up for it all summer for the $79.38 including tax that was the price of admission. I also pulled countless Jaguars, Executives, Presidents, and Iversons from the trash and rebuilt them as only a 10 year old could.

So, I am not so sure the bike is worth too much- perhaps $50 or so if in great shape- but your question sure brought back a lot of fond memories.
