(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...

Here’s how it works: At least 40% of travel in the U.S. consists of trips that are 2 miles or less, and over 90% of those trips are made by car. So Clif Bar is encouraging commuters to ditch their cars and ride their bikes for all commutes that are 2 miles or less – and they’ll give away $100,000 to three non-profit organizations that support bike advocacy and fighting climate change. Check out this video to learn more about how much biking can help the environment, and visit Clif 2 Mile Challenge’s website to register for the challenge. Which charity would you support? Do you think you could meet the ch...

But if it’s not bad bike lanes that stop you from commuting on two wheels, it’s probably the fact that arriving to the office in spandex and sweat is hardly acceptable for your 9 a.m. meeting with clients (or the office at all). No one likes to show up at work looking and feeling gross, so we stole some tips for biking to work without looking like you did from Planet Green. Enjoy, and stop making excuses: 1. Bring a change of clothes. Duh. This one’s a no-brainer, but there’s a smart way to pack the right stuff for work: Get a good saddlebag or basket to hold your stuff so you don’t hurt your shoulders and bag hauling a second war...

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=3761397&cid=t_108070_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2F10-things-we-want-to-do-this-weekend-8%2F The sweet, sweet weekend is almost here. What are your plans? We’ve got several things in mind for our two days off: Drink a glass of wine. Our favorite dietician says that we should drink a glass of wine over a can of Coke. We promise we’ll stick to one glass. Really. Make our muscles sore — and like it. We’re going to get in at least one good workout this weekend, and you can bet we’ll savor the burn. Watch some Oprah. Sometimes we just want to sit back and see what Her Majesty has to say. Even though she isn’t always right. Buy a really big energy-efficient TV. Okay, so maybe we won’t actually buy it. But we can definitely walk around the air-conditioned electronics store and stare at Energy Star-certified 50-inchers. Go dancing. It’s a...

Cities are creating Bike-to-Work events and using hybrid buses and taxis. But Black Hawk, Colorado, just took a big step in the opposite direction by banning bike riding. WTF? The town relies heavily on casinos for revenue, and vans containing gamblers drive through the town’s narrow, shoulder-less streets. A Colorado law requires cars to leave three feet of room while passing cyclists, which would mean they’d have to swerve into oncoming traffic. While it doesn’t seem safe for bicyclists to ride on a road with no shoulders alongside buses and trucks, no related accidents have been reported. But lawmakers appear to be acting out of i...

That’s what Lehman B, a self-proclaimed “do-tank,” has done with his miniature camper called Supertramp.

Vaccines don’t cause autism. [ABC News has a story on Dr. Offit that emphasizes how “ugly” the discussion about vaccines and autism has become: It’s entitled “Death Threats, Hate Mail: Autism Debate Turns Ugly: Vaccine Researchers, Autism Community React to Account of Death Threats and it seems to me that we really ought rather to keep discussion focused on autistic persons.] When a cameraman filmed Charlie a couple of weeks ago for the Today show, Charlie rode his bike in circles back and fort, back and forth.

At the Parengs Bloggers Network, some parents describe a “feeling of betrayal” in regard to the “overwhelming fears and sadness surrounding autism and the still hotly-debated autism-vaccine link” discussed in Dr. Offit’s book. Excerpts from some parents’ reviews of the book are here And if you’re watching the Today Show in the 8:00 half-hour tomorrow (Thursday, October 30th) morning, there’s a segment on vaccines and autism.

On Saturday afternoon we drove into Queens via the Goethals Bridge, the Verranzano Bridge (Charlie sat up to get the full view of being close to the ocean), and Brooklyn (after going through Sunset Park and seeing too many interesting looking Chinese and Asian restaurants, and then East New York). One of Jim’s friends’ two sisters (count the s’s and the apostrophes in that) were both celebrating their birthday somewhere off of Fresh Pond Road. Charlie put his hands over his ears at the music and the party noise; a woman who works with autistic children at a school out on Long Island came and sat with him and talked; Charlie looked relaxed. He sat and ate while Jim and I socialized. Driving back to...

With about 8,000 residents in Bristol Bay, that is one bike for every eleven people. Now that's a pile of spokes! Alaska Native Medical Center reports Alaska natives have experienced a 120 percent increase of diabetes between 1990-2004, and in the mostly Yup'ik Bristol Bay region, it has increased 170 percent. Mary Clark, a 51-year-old Bristol Bay native and local hospital worker stated the area kids are gaining weight as traditionally-eaten berries and fish are being replaced with junk food.
