Something to think about

"Bicycle is the slow death of the planet."

A banker made the economists think this when he said:

“A cyclist is a disaster for the country’s economy: he doesn’t buy cars and doesn’t borrow money to buy. He don't pay insurance policies. Don't buy fuel, don't pay to have the car serviced, and no car repairs needed. He doesn't use paid parking. Doesn't cause any major accidents. No need for multi-lane highways.

He is not getting obese.

Healthy people are not necessary or useful to the economy. They are not buying the medicine. They dont go to hospitals or doctors.

They add nothing to the country's GDP.

"On the contrary, each new McDonald’s store creates at least 30 jobs—actually 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietitians and nutritionists—obviously as well as the people who work in the store itself."

Choose wisely: a bike or a McDonald's? It's something to think about.

Cost of living: Demand for bike repairs 'goes through roof' amid rising fuel prices The rising price of fuel is forcing many to switch from four wheels to two, and the Gloucestershire Bike Project says demand for its services has soared.

Lovely Friday evening bike ride. Recommended after 6pm as Sandbanks to Bournemouth promenade much quieter. Be aware of dogs off leads. Enjoyed a nice pint on the way back.

Hi everyone, hope you had a wonderful Bank Holiday and got a chance to get out on your bikes. We did a lovely cycle in New Forest, however would avoid the traffic at Lyndhurst as a bit mad. Otherwise very enjoyable with plenty of ponies. If you have any routes you would like to share with the group, please feel free to submit.

Man I LOVE this story.

This moment, this day, can be your 'turning point'.

I get so inspired seeing people turn their lives around from a downwards trajectory.

If you want to get inspired, read this story from follower Aaron Murphy :

“Hi, Matt.

I wanted to share my little success story with you.

I’m a first responder here in Colorado (since 2008). I’ve been in varying levels of shape over the past 13 years. 2020 & 2021 were challenging years, and I let my fitness fall by the wayside more than I ever have before.

At my heaviest (and my turning point, December of last year) I weighed 320lbs. My pants were a size 44, and I could no longer fit in my dress uniform. The agency I work for hasn’t hasn’t held the annual fitness qualification the past two years because of [the obvious - Matt], but if they had, I’d have failed it miserably. I would get winded walking 1/4 mile, or climbing a flight of stairs.

A close friend tried to get me into MTB during the last couple of years, but I couldn’t keep up, and I felt like a failure. I just didn’t have the fitness level to do the sport.

I’d found the 12-Week program and the Facebook group online, but just loitered, thinking of what if’s, and feeling pretty helpless, like I’d let myself go too far to come back.

January of this year, I decided to do something. I purchased the 12-week program, and followed it near-religiously. I missed an occasional session because, life happens, but would quickly make it up. I also repeated one week after two sessions and five day’s rest, because I came down with a cold.

Goal setting is one key element of the program, and I had one very specific (though not MTB related) goal in mind- pass my agency’s fitness qualification, which was scheduled for mid-April.

I officially finished the program today, with my last interval session. I also started the 16 week program with the first gym session- the first time I’ve “doubled down” on combining intervals and a gym session.

After working out today, I reported to work, knowing that the fitness qualification was on the agenda for the day. I’m happy to report that I passed the course- and with 36 seconds to spare.

I’ve lost weight, I’ve lost inches, my clothing sizes are down…. But most importantly, I’ve regained an acceptable fitness level for a person in my profession.

3 1/2 months ago, it seemed daunting, if not impossible to do anything about my fitness. Today, I continued my journey back to a fitter me as I crushed a major fitness goal.

The plan works, and I’m excited to be continuing on with the advanced program. So thank you.

Aaron”



Yessssss.

It makes me so so happy to read this.

Absolutely fantastic work Aaron. Down…but not out. If you are reading this and struggling with your fitness know that, just like Aaron, you absolutely CAN turn it around!

Electric bicycle prices are rising, and it's not only because the tariff exceptions expired Electric bicycle prices have followed a bit of a roller-coaster trajectory over the last few years. While there are still several great options for low-cost e-bikes on the market, prices are currently trending back up. Here’s why. The on-going trade war between the US and China isn’t the only re...
