... Cyclists must use bicycle lights from a half-hour before sunset to a
half-hour after sunrise. Use a white front light and a rear red light or
reflector. Under the Highway Traffic Act 62, there is a $30 fine for improper
bicycle lighting. Summer riding. ...

发帖数: 3433 | 5 说起来挺惭愧的，新年已经过去这么多天了，一月份已经过去一半还多了，我还是天天
开车上下班。好像每天都能找到要开车的理由，要去医院，要去买东西，要去滑雪，要
送老大去幼儿园，这些当然都还是正当理由，但是，还有，要背电脑。公司配的笔记本
实在是太重了，骑车背起来会很难受的。理由是背回家可以晚上干干活，其实正说明上
班的时候效率不怎么高。
前两天Seattle又下了一场大雪，堵在回家的路上，看着路边的cyclist顶着漫天大雪骑
车的时候就觉得很遗憾，我也应该是他们中的一员啊，在雪中骑车一定很好玩。
终于下定决心把电脑扔在公司了，昨天早晨把骑车的衣服，裤子，手套，面罩，大大小
小的配件一件件找出来穿上，慢慢又找回了以前的感觉。在trail上还是能够碰到那几
个熟悉的骑车的、跑步的、遛狗的身影，在大致相同的时间，大致相同的地方，彼此扬
扬手说声Hi，morning，很好的开始一天的方式。
把车推进久违的公司bike room，同以前一样，看见barbara和stanley的山地车还在同
样的地方，hehe，I am back.

前去占位置. 冲到gym, 又发现cycling shoes没带, 不爽. 还好跑鞋总是在包里的,
将就吧.
Instructor换了一个临时的, 放音乐很吵. it还老是吹"我在室外也骑车的", 是不是看
不起底下"going to nowhere"的"cyclists"? anyway... 骑的正爽, 右脚从cage里滑
出, 当时踏频还挺快, 一面有clipless的padel重重打在小腿骨上. 有两分钟感觉象是
腿废了一样, 提都提不起来. 血印大概有20公分长, 出血口有大概7,8厘米. 痛苦. 后
来慢慢恢复过来, 确定骨头没裂, 就继续spin.
下课, 出一身汗的感觉还是不错. 问gym staff要了几个酒精擦纸, took shower, 处理
伤口. 有机会近距离仔细观察了自己小腿, 发现真是细啊, 有点皮包骨头的感觉. 郁
闷. 回家吃饭.

发帖数: 1498 | 16 some tips for a sleep deprived cyclist:
- take a multi-vitamin (like centrum performance) everyday
- go out and do 10-mile all-out time trials a few times a week
- drink a redbull before the workout so you can get your HR up a notch
three week should be plenty to get your heart and legs open up. |

is the how it should be -- narrow country roads, rolling hills, green fields

navigating the rotaries...
I rode the north suburb of Paris today, about 40 miles. The weather was
perfect. Navigation was tough. I was using the GPS on my iphone a lot.
Each little town is different, and there are frequent traffic stops. The

In my opinion, the most important things are the riding skills and safety.
Besides the bike, you have to buy the pedal, bike shoe, helmet, a pair of
glasses, glove...Don't forget to control your nutrition and don't get
dehydration which is the most common mistake that cyclists make. Good Luck! |

2/ 骑车这东西不练不行，今年基本没怎么骑，所以这次骑得很颓，巨慢无比。后半段
基本只有别人超我，没有我超别人的时候；
3/ 下次不穿这个北京奥运T shirt了，免得给中国人丢脸，呵呵。

Indeed, if I only wanted to burn some calories I wouldn't care. What I'm
wondering is whether I need to think
about investing on a more expensive bike in order to do an ironman. I
probably won't do it if it only shaves off
10 minutes in a 112-mile bike ride. But a 30 minutes difference would be big
enough for me to consider
some investment.
I'm a physicist so I fully understand the mechanics. But I don't fully

which is why I ask experienced cyclists.:) Al |

bike. then I went on the bike trail for a 24 mile ride. soon I realized that
the "bike trail" is mostly for the recreation of families and runners, not
real cyclists. I was able to cruise comfortably at 18mph, was able to
sustain 20mph and went up to 23mph (obviously couldn't last for too long).
But I had to make stops at crosswalks frequently, stopping my garmin 305. In
the end I averaged 17.76mph.

我原本谨记老狼教授的教诲不上人行道的，可是我们这个城市，在今年初夏，有位
cyclist在早晨上班途中被从后方来的truck撞到天堂去了，吓得我每天都胆战心惊。出

车流还蛮大，每次在公路上骑的时候，我老担心后面的车刹不住或遇上犯困的driver。
起初每当途径那段的时候，我就在人行道上推着车走，可能因为这里行人实在太少，自
己都感觉自己像个傻子似的。后来偶尔碰到几个骑车族，发现他们都很大方地在人行道
上骑，我就斗胆效法了，再后来碰到几次警察，他们对我都熟视无睹，窃以为至少在无
人的时候，溜上人行道还是被默许的。

Western cyclists to see cycling through Asian eyes, including rider profiles

started the site from a passion for cycling and wanting to work in the
industry." Take a look at http://www.cyclingnewsasia.com |
