Bicycles are dangerous... Save your life and stop riding them.

[real saxophonist]

With below zero last week and snow, more snow tomorrow, I'm staying off the bike for now. I used to be fearless in any weather, but hit some ice, crashed and broke my leg in 3 places.

I hope the conditions are good for Winter Bike To Work Day.

Cold has passed here in coastal North Carolina. I was thinking of airing up my bike just yesterday as the weather clears off.

Don’t block traffic.
Obey traffic controls.
Stay off of sidewalks.
Control your aggression.
Don’t run into pedestrians.
Don’t attack cars or drivers.
Don’t ride hopped up on coffee.
.....For starters....

Any recommendations for a lightweight folding road bike suitable for a 6’5” tall rider?

Do any of you use FulGaz with your trainer? My husband uses it as well as Zwift on rainy or super cold days.

We like to sit on the porch for a glass of wine in the afternoon and listen to some rousing BlueGrass music while watching the birds and wildlife in the back meadow. When it got too cold this winter and we had to move indoors for our wine hour, we decided to hook the laptop to the bigTV in the Den with an HDMI cord and run the FulGaz recorded video rides along with our music. Unlike Zwift, this is real video recorded by a GoPro mounted on a rider’s bike. We have watched and fully enjoyed rides videoed all over the world. Hubby then later repeats the better ones on his trainer.

Children’s toys don’t belong in the street. They are out in bad weather, at night, 6am, etc. If you hit one it could ruin your life.

Is There A Perfect Saddle Height For Your Bike?

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I am going for a ride in England today on Rouvy. They added a ‘ghost rider’ feature that seems to wring every ounce of juice from your legs no matter how short the workout...

Worth mentioning for the New Year:

Cycling for health and fitness

It only takes two to four hours a week to achieve a general improvement to your health. Cycling is:

• Low impact – it causes less strain and injuries than most other forms of exercise.
• A good muscle workout– cycling uses all of the major muscle groups as you pedal.
• Easy – unlike some other sports, cycling does not require high levels of physical skill. Most people know how to ride a bike and, once you learn, you don’t forget.
• Good for strength and stamina– cycling increases stamina, strength and aerobic fitness.
• As intense as you want– cycling can be done at very low intensity to begin with, if recovering from injury or illness, but can be built up to a demanding physical workout.
• A fun way to get fit– the adventure and buzz you get from coasting down hills and being outdoors means you are more likely to continue to cycle regularly, compared to other physical activities that keep you indoors or require special times or places.
• Time-efficient – as a mode of transport, cycling replaces sedentary (sitting) time spent driving motor vehicles or using trams, trains or buses with healthy exercise.

Health benefits of regular cycling

Cycling is mainly an aerobic activity, which means that your heart, blood vessels and lungs all get a workout. You will breathe deeper, perspire and experience increased body temperature, which will improve your overall fitness level.

The health benefits of regular cycling include:

• increased cardiovascular fitness
• increased muscle strength and flexibility
• improved joint mobility
• decreased stress levels
• improved posture and coordination
• strengthened bones
• decreased body fat levels
• prevention or management of disease
• reduced anxiety and depression.

Bicycles are impracticable. Buy an electric car instead...

Historic ‘Iron Riders’ Military Bicycle Unit to Join Rose Parade

The New Buffalo Soldiers are participating at this year’s Rose Parade in Pasadena. Riding bicycles, Buffalo Soldiers reenactors, in full uniform, will lead the horseback entry at the upcoming parade.

The group, organized in 1992 as a historical interpretation group, represents the 10th Regiment, Company H of the United States (U.S.) Cavalry.

Riding donated Spalding bicycles, the Buffalo Soldiers left Fort Missoula, Montana on June 14, 1897, embarking on a 1,900-mile odyssey to St. Louis, Missouri.
