    Took a tumble

    Exactly. My mother broke her tooth and sprained her wrist just stepping off a curb in Amsterdam just crossing the street. Somebody else I know broke her wrist slipping on the stairs. Stuff happens, sudden gusts of gravity are an everyday occurence.

    Took a tumble

    So we've been over in the French Pyrénées for 3 months at a time now. I got my BH all in working order and was out for a ride exploring. Meandering the country roads here is terrific, and as a rule French drivers are very respectful around cyclists. No issues. Anyhow, day before yesterday I got...

    Electric scooter trend?

    What I see is a lot of people NOT getting any actual exercise. I mean, sure their muscles get little micro isometric exercise from maintaining balance, but really, people need more exercise not less.

    Ever notice how of every 5 roadworkers, only 2 are allowed to work at any given moment? The others are required to be drinking coffee and standing around waiting for the 2nd Coming.

    Ground breaking sleep technique

    I have sleep headphones that I listen to a bit of audiobook on. The headphones put the voice inside the middle of my brain, so it pushes out my own thoughts. It is thinking thinking thinking that keeps me awake. I put on a 30 min timer so the audiobook just tails off. By then I'm asleep. You...

    Wow. That guy has a death wish. Or a hankering to end up in a wheelchair. A kid broke his neck zooming down a rogue trail in our local park. 17, in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. 😢 Worth the "thrill"? I don't think so.

    My battery died of heatstroke 😥😭

    Well, folks, here is an update, finally, on the saga of the fried BH battery. As I mentioned, I took over my BH bike (sans dead battery) to the French Pyrénées in March. Took it to the closest BH dealer, in Laroque-d'Olmes. We had a quandary, because the battery had to be ordered, and if there...

    What would be the effect of filling your tires with water actually? They'd be heavier, obviously. Would they have greater centrifugal force? How would it effect balance, etc. Just curious. I suppose one could avoid flats by filling tires with foam insulation ("Great Stuff"). It would be light...

    This one is not a cut and paste job: Bear and skier I may have posted it before sometime. The skier (an instructor) is remarkably calm, cool and collected.

    Good Reads for the Season

    If you like audio books, I am listening to Lauren Grodstein's We Must Not Think of Ourselves, about life in the Warsaw ghetto during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Excellent book, superbly read/performed.
