I am planning to do the following ride/commute. I am totally unfamiliar with the area and will be riding alone.
On the WashingtonBike.org site, there is a map of 'safe areas' to bike, and not so...

I have gone with clipless pedals and cleats yesterday!!!!
Rode about 8 km in town (lots of stops, red lights, and a couple of minor hills). And today did my usual early morning 14km loop, also in...

Just added the info in my signature. Neat idea.

Anything below 30 minutes (no matter the distance), I don't need bike shorts. Longer rides, I wear Louis Garneau Sensor, as is, or with pants over them, depending on the weather and time of year. My...

For some reason, the color reminds me of a wonderful cool drink that I sometime have in the summer, when friends come over, and it is really hot. It is a Sapphire Breeze (Bombay Sapphire + pink...

As the weather is warming up (mornings above freezing!), I have taken again to commute by bike full time. Have not touched the car in two weeks now. Yesterady, I did a commute to a suburb that I...

Many many bike shops in my city, and many big outdoor gears stores also that carry bike gears, but it is in a small hardware store that I found the best ever rear view mirror for my bike, and I...

I have had my own business since the last Wisconsin glaciation. Or so it feels. lol When I started, the best advices I was given or had found out about, and that have proven right over and over and...

I've had the pulmonary function tests about every 5 years. And only because there was actually a need for it. Not as a routine thing.

I think the main thing, if your asthma is well controlled, is...

I have had multi focals (progressive, no lines) for many years.
I learned a few things about them as I have had many different pairs, changing every three years or so.

It takes a very very good...

I have had multi focal prescription in my everyday glasses for a few years now.
When riding my bike, I tried using no prescription : disaster as I couldn't see the wholes ahead of me on the road,...

I agree there is NO way to please everybody. Some will be hot, some will be cold. Some people don't like wearing more clothes to be warmer, and expect to be able to dress summer like in the dead of...

I will not consider an iPhone right now because it forces us to be locked into a phone plan that is too expensive, and too binding. No real choices. When those conditions change, I might look into...

I have a small waist and larger hips. The only jeans that fit me like a glove with NO gapping at the back of the waist, and just hug me all around the waist perfectly are the 'Jones (of) New York...

I make sure I get to work a good 15 minutes earlier, so I have time to change if needed, and freshen up, and calm down too, if the commute got me working out.
I most often will wear, under my work...

that when it comes to conceiving, the least you obsess about it, the better the odds of it happening. Good luck, and I think that staying active for sure will keep you top shape for that delivery!

Commuting by bike is HIGHLY addictive!!!!
I just can't get enough of it.

I found that for me, what helps keep the sweat off my hair is a headband, the kind that is quite generous, cotton, with some stretchy fiber in it. It does push my hair back a bit, under the helmet,...

The invisible insuline is what they call exercise. My family has a history of diabetes, and I didn't want to become diabetic. So, I was doing 30 to 45 minutes of laps daily for two years. Never...

At first, when I started commuting, in the city, I needed my full and entire attention. And could have never imagined a day when I would use my ipod on the bike. When I commute at rush hours, I...

You know you are addicted to riding your bike when you break down the grocery list in as many outings as there are items on the list, and go fetch those items, not at the store close to home, but at...

I wouldn't ride without my rear view mirror. I have a bike where nothing is standard, so I had to shop high and low for a mirror that would fit on the handlebar. And of all places, I found it at the...

In my city, each burrough proceeds to sell the lost & found stuff that was collected through the year on the street or in public places, public transit, etc. There are bikes in there. Each burrough...

Headed for the bike store to test drive three different bikes I had picked a few days earlier, I did go there with all the clothes I'd be wearing was I to commute on my chosen bike. My only mistake...

I too was absolutely paralyzed at the thought of going into a bike shop and looking at bikes. And having the salesperson look at me and think that I didn't belong there because of my weight at the...
