(Photo: CopenhagenCycleChic.com) We can’t stop posting about why people should get on their bikes and ride, but it’s not completely irrational: Swapping your car for a bike does the environment big favors. We like. But a recent article from Rodale.com reminded us of another big reason we’re fans of getting around town on two wheels: It’s great for your health and even improves your mood. The article encourages us to act like we’re Danish; they’ve got the bike commute down pat. Over a third of Copenhagen’s population rides their bikes to work, and Danes enjoy low obesity rates and good physical fitness. They also happen to rank highly on world surveys of...

And at $39.99, it’s pretty affordable. But we’re more worried about potential facial burn after trying to sip hot java from our two-wheel rides. via Social Workout Post from: BlissTree Give Your Bike Commute a Jolt: The Morning Rush Coffee Holder Kit (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3911669 Fri, 27 Aug 2010 19:05:16 +0100 3911669 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3784229&cid=t_247591_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fand-you-thought-you-were-good-at-parallel-parking-videos-that-crack-us-up%2F We’re pretty impressed with this young lady’s ability to parallel-park her training-wheeled bike so perfectly and quickly. We doubt we could do it, and we’re at least two decades older than she is. It took us shamefully long to learn how to parallel park our Plymouth Horizon at age 16, but this little speed racer has a giant head start on her driver’s test. via The Frisky Post from: BlissTree And You Thought You Were Good at Parallel Parking: Videos That Crack Us Up (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3784229 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:39:37 +0100 3784229 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3706640&cid=t_247591_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Feco-friendly-family-mother-and-daughter-bike-for-land-conservation%2F photo via Planet Green You think your morning ride to work was rough? Try biking cross-country. Helen and Al Steussy, a mother-daughter team, are on day nine of 50 in their 3,630-mile journey from Oregon to New Hampshire. They’re doing it all in the name of land conservation. The Steussys aim to raise $20,000 to stop current trends of city sprawl. Each day, 5,000 acres of land are developed in the U.S. That’s a lot of land that could be an eco-friendly nature preserve, but instead becomes a parking lot, an office park, high-rise condos, a Target, or some other big box store. Money raised will be donated to Red-tail Conservancy, the Land Trust Alliance, and local land trusts the Steussys find along the way. Track their progress and donate on their website. via Planet Green Post...

Thankfully, the weekend is upon us. Here’s what we want to do: Drink a mimosa. Skipping coffee isn’t normally something we look forward to, but if it means slowing down our immunity to the benefits of caffeine, we’re willing to take a short break. Thank god for mimosas; without it our brunches would get ugly. Eat an ice cream cone. …Instead of a high-calorie, ice cream man diet-buster. Not that we don’t love ice cream sandwiches, but the nutrition facts have convinced us that we only need a small swirly cone. Bike in the park. By now, you should know that we have a real thing for bikes. But the good news is that pretty soon you could even charge you...

The charger uses a dynamo that attaches to the bike and can be plugged into any phone using a 2mm phone jack. Though charging times will vary, Nokia says that a cyclist completing a 10 minute journey at 6mph (10 km/h) will produce enough power for 28 minutes of talk time or 37 hours of standby time – not bad. The kit will also contain a holder to attach the phone to the bike securely while it charges. The charger was first released in Kenya, and costs about $18 (or 15 euro), but Nokia plans to have it available in stores worldwide by the end of 2010. Nokia’s use of alternative energy is a smart and simple – we&#...

Check out this video on how to make your bike electric: Post from: BlissTree Make Your Bike Electric: Video of the Day (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3617813 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:00:14 +0100 3617813 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2511159&cid=t_247591_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2009%2F06%2F20%2Fthankful-for-my-dad%2F As we get older, we gain perspective, if we open ourselves up to understanding and knowledge. It doesn’t always come readily or naturally. Of course, one of the primary things you gain perspective about as you age is, well, aging. You grow older and people you know start dying. Friends. Family. Colleagues. Death is the ultimate giver of perspective. You begin to appreciate the richness of the lives that have been voluntarily shared with you, and stop taking them for granted. And you start to understand that despite all of the things our parents might have done wrong by us, they got a lot of things right too. I can’t complain about my childhood, as I grew up in a decidedly middle-class suburb in a university town, living a decidedly middle-class life. While I may have not gotte...
