My main bike route




This is my bike riding route. This is a housing development area where the development stopped. There is an apartment complex and about 8 houses here. I hardly ever see a car go past the traffic circle into the back half of this loop. It is a two lane one way loop. The speed limit is 25 mph so if there is a car they aren't going much faster than I am. I have to watch for cars at the traffic circle and when I turn around just before I get to the main road. Most of the time I drive here and then bike but it is only about 2 miles from my apartment.

http://www.trisled.com.au/avatar.asp

This company in Australia sell a very nice trike velomobile for ~ $15,000.

The Quest from Blue Velo is another option from Canada. Its not as expensive at 8,750.

Go-One also has some nice velomobile models and dealers in the USA.

I could get one of these or a new car. I think I'll go with the car for now. I don't live in a bike friendly area.

Exercise in exactly 4 minutes per day, scam


Don't purchase this thing. Don't even bother reading about it. I’ve already wasted too much time thinking about it. The ROM is a complete scam. John Pitre's claims about the results achieved by using the ROM are outright lies. Scammers such as John Pitre prey on the ignorant. If the ROM can get someone to go from not working out at all to working out four minutes a day then they will see improvement by using this machine.

I posted this ad because I wanted to point out how poorly written it is. "After seeing your results, your friends becoming interested." Grammar Nazis go ahead and tear this ad apart. If you brush your teeth for 30 minutes it is harmful to your gums and tooth enamel. If you exercise for 30 minutes it is generally good for you. The comparison made in this ad between brushing teeth and excising is fallacious. I don't know how this ad even got published in Delta Sky Magazine.

If you want a great machine for less money the get a Cybex Total Body Arc Trainer, a Concept2 rowing machine, or a nice bicycle.
