On an earlier post, gee way back in December of 2007, I was discussing the merits and money for recycling aluminum cans. Granted I am more interested in the money I get back instead of the nice warm feeling I get for help the earth survive for one more day.

Chiselled through the steep-sided travel wonder of the Yungas Mountains in Bolivia, the rough one-lane road from shrouded La Cumbre (at a lung-bursting 4700 metres above sea level) to Corioco (at a tropical 1100 metres) is variously described as the World’s Most Dangerous Road and El Camino de al Muerte (the Road of Death). There is supposedly a death every week or so.With fog, rain, mud, dust,
Most motor vehicle accidents involving cyclists happen at dawn and dusk. The reason for this is that there are more commuters out there on the road at these times. At the same time, the road visibility is far less than during the day, so the chances of being hit are relatively high. I’ve taken the [...]

Urine is the main source of some of the chemical nutrients that have to be removed in sewage treatment plants if they are not to wreck ecosystems downstream. Despite making up only 1 per cent of the volume of waste water, urine contributes about 80 per cent of the nitrogen and 45 per cent of all the phosphate. Peeing into the pan immediately dilutes these chemicals with vast quantities of water, making the removal process unnecessarily inefficient.

Developing Cycling SkillsBy: James BrownMost people consider bicycles as the first forms of transportation that a child will own. The child might show an interest in cycling because they want to join friends outside and being the owner of a bicycle might just be the thing that they need to fit in with the crowd. As the interest in cycling grows, a child might develop a competitive spirit about racing others on a bike on a street in the neighborhood.As a child develops their cycling skills, some parents may find cause to worry about their safety. They might observe their child performing precarious stunts with the bike without having any safety equipment on to protect vital organs such as their brain and body joints. This type of behavior being performed on a bicycle might worry parents to
Today I brought out my bike for the first time in probably two years. Not surprisingly, the air had all gone out of the tires since last time I'd ridden it, and part of the reason I haven't used it is because I don't have a bike tire pump, so I had to take it to a gas station to get air (apparently it's not exactly safe to do this since gas stations intend for car tires to use the air, not teeny bike tires, but I figured it was safe enough considering the tires were completely flat, thus little risk of over-inflation). I actually took my bike to the 7-Eleven yesterday, but they didn't have air, and I couldn't be bothered to walk to the next gas station just then. So today I determined to do it. The next gas station I went to didn't have air either, apparently because they had problems with

If you want to get into a fun sport that will allow you to get plenty of exercise, get into shape, and offer you challenges that you won't find elsewhere - all while enjoying an abundance of nature - you might want to start thinking about mountain bikes. Mountain biking is a popular sport that has been around for numerous years, but recently, with the new technology that goes into the manufacturing of today's mountain bikes, there seems to be a new interest in this sport. If the sport of mountain biking isn't something that you know a lot about, you may have the wrong idea about the sport. You've seen the mountain bikers on the television sports channels jumping obstacles and racing down dirt trails - and racing is one aspect of mountain biking. However, racing is not required.

So enlarge the photo and see if you can find a family resemblance.
Today, my mother e-mailed me the photo on the left of her mother cycling with some friends. It goes great with an old photo I already had of my grandad. I love these old photos. Both taken sometime in the 1920’s, I believe.
It seems, my grandfather was quite a racer. When my mother visited in the summer she gave me a cycling medal that he had won for a 12 hour race in the 1920’s. Yikes, 12 hours!
I must admit I can really can see the resemblance between my grandmother and my younger brother (honestly Jonny).
OK, now in the photo below: which one is my grandfather? Answers at bottom.
Fortunately, my niece Molly looks ready to carry on the family cycling tradition.
Answer: My Granny is third from left. My Grandfather is on the back of the tandem.

The repeated loss of body weight followed by weight re-gain is called weight cycle. A small weight cycle is the loss and regain of up to ten lbs. Large weight cycles imply the loss and regain of fifty lbs or more.
Although specialists can`t say for sure how weight cycling is related to health problems, some studies showed a connection to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and gallbladder disease. In time, women affected by weight cycle gain more weight compared to women who don`t, according to studies.
Binge eating was also associated to weight cycling for women. Some people who deal with weight cycling tend to feel depressed, although gaining weight is not a failure and may disappear when eating habits change.
Researchers did not prove that fat tissues increase or muscle mass decrease after a weight cycle. However, studies showed that weight cycling has nothing to do with the metabolic rate, or how fast food energy is burned. This rate can be slowed down as people get older.
