Be aware that there are many reasons and ways to ride bikes, and whatever draws you to biking isn't universal. Roadies, recreational riders, people who don't hardly know why they want to ride and are...

You've probably tried this already but I didn't see it suggested yet...we had amazing success coating the pill with butter.

My left cheek callus is bigger than the right cheek. I figured because I always put my left foot down first when I stop.

That is so cool!
I like the dogs too.

I hadn't seen it either (I joined a couple years after the hot story).
So did you publish your romance novel?

I could see my shadow in front of me. I stared at it, puzzled. Something was different. Then I noticed the breeze in my hair and the lightness of my head. For the first time in probably 7 years, I...

We decided to cancel our Traffic Skills 101 class because not enough people registered. It was ok to have 2 students in March when the weather was awful, but the weather is perfect now and we only...

I have a cycling specific rain jacket and rain pants. I mainly wear those in the winter as the outer shell wind blocking layer, and try to avoid riding in heavy rain. (It's a Phantom but I don't see...

How important is it that you get your 100 miles? I came to a realization at some point that 100 miles on a road bike is not the same thing as 100 miles on my sturdy commuter. If I spent 7 or 8 hrs on...

And in the meantime go on & meet those people you've been put in touch with. Maybe they'll make your last days in Colorado more enjoyable!

I will bike to work on all of those days everyone has mentioned. For solidarity. (And so I can get to work.) No one's doing a bike to work day around here. The only one to do it is me and at some...

I'd go with the Friday.
But that is not from experience or knowledge or anything, you know, helpful.
I've been very happy with my FX. Mine is the Women Specific Design. I use hybrid tires, 32 or 38...

I love hearing new riders' stories. I had so much fun as a beginner, with something new to learn every day. I love bicycling and I always will, but I am a little nostalgic for when it was all new and...

Thanks for sharing. Wow, impressive reviews on amazon (192 of 195 are 5-stars...and the other 3 reviews are 3- and 4-stars).

This sure caught my attention. "spending too much time bent...

If you're in Boulder I have a friend who is vegan & a bicyclist. That's not to say you'd be instant friends but you'd have something in common! I know she would be happy to help you adjust.

As far as safety, all helmets are made to the same specs. The advantage of more expensive helmets is comfort, ease of adjusting the straps (which could be a bit of a safety issue), and...

When I was watching the video (see original post), I kept thinking "you could say this about the macrobiotic diet fad too". That is, I don't know if they ever claimed this is what we "evolved" to eat...

I agree with everything except speeding up for an aggressive dog. Speeding up encourages them to chase. Also you can't actually outrun a dog. They are fast buggers over short distance.

I've had the best success doing exactly what you did, slow down. But sometimes they will run with you for quite a long distance.

I hope he doesn't get himself or you into trouble.

"My veins are full of glitter"
Is that where the Twilight vampires live?

There's a sign just outside of town that says "Talk to your kids before they choose" and underneath all the options:...

Good to know if I ever do get a recumbent (it's on my list but a ways down), that I won't be able to just pick up where I'm at with my bike.

Go carefully and avoid overuse injuries. It would be...

Dear Left Ovary, I'm not impressed. When Right Ovary ruptured a cyst, it had me on the floor unable to move and sweating. When you ruptured a cyst last Thursday, it took me 2 days to figure out what...

Somewhat timely here, I just had another cyst rupture on my remaining ovary. :( So no, merely eliminating sugar from my diet didn't prevent that.

I had a hysterectomy and one ovary removed at age 31. I kept my cervix so I still have monthly bleeding. I also said "if it's cancer take it all out" because I had elevated CA125. It wasn't, whew. A...

Two weeks ago I met a fellow biking 7,000 miles to celebrate his 70th birthday. From Des Moines, IA to Key West to the Maine-Canada border and back to Des Moines.

I could be so lucky.
