♪ I love to ride my bicycle; I love to ride my bike… ♫

So where do you go to ride your bicycle? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to ride my bike on a busy highway with all those angry drivers out there. I want to relax and see something new. Perhaps a winding road through the forest or a breathtaking ocean view… if there is a nice café or tavern along the way, even better!
Adventure Cycling Association (ACA) has researched and developed over 40,000 miles of prime cycling routes in the U.S. to date, designed with cyclists in mind. ACA was established 1973 and is the premier bicycle travel organization in North America with 44,700 members nationwide.
This from ACA:
Our bike maps are built for cyclists and are some of the finest you'll find anywhere. They include information not available on typical road maps designed for motorists, for example, the locations of bike shops, sources for food and water, and listings of overnight accommodations (especially camping facilities and small motels). The mission of Adventure Cycling Association is to inspire people of all ages to travel by bicycle. We help cyclists explore the landscapes and history of America for fitness, fun, and self-discovery. We are using Twitter to facilitate communication between cyclists on the road and the cartographers back in Missoula as well as other cyclists on tour. Follow us @acaroutes and join the conversation using route-oriented hashtags.
As a nonprofit organization, all proceeds from tours, sales, and membership go directly back into supporting our mission and programs. |

WingFlyer

Who hasn’t used a TV or radio (or both) while on the stair-climber so as not to be bored to death as you burn those calories? With the clever WingFlyer you are not tied to one spot. You can take it to the beach or a park, and its small enough to bring with in the back of your car…
This from Catalfumo Global Distributors LLC:
The WingFlyer is an exciting pedal-powered product line that has the ride of a bike with the motion of a stair-stepper. The smooth sensation of “flying at ground level” is delivered through our patented drive system and will certainly provide hours of active fun to both kids and adults!

Globe riding or Zorbing
posted Feb 1, 2011, 3:28 PM by JustBenke [ updated Sep 26, 2011, 6:15 PM ]
I overheard some kids talking about Zorbing and just had to look into what that was. Zorbing, where had I heard that before? Of course I could not ask, that would have been too embarrasing, who would not know what Zorbing is!
So back out on the Web II went, and tadah! If I understand it right, the first Zorbonauts were seen rolling down hills around 1995 in New Zealand. Since then the Zorbonauts have continued to grow in numbers. Who would not want to roll down in a giant globe spining like crazy. Those kiwis know how to have fun.
