I usually have my mild hot flashes at night when am in bed. I have not noticed any relationship between tofu and hot flashes because I rarely eat tofu. I just forget to buy the stuff.

Thank goodness, the thought of hot flashes in humid summers during the day... Some of you gals are tough.

As for not wanting to bike even by yourself at your own pace, because you are tired/demotivated, I occasionally remind myself this: there are people who are paralyzed for life and can't bike like us. Our problems could be way worse.
