Many see bicycling as a means to lose weight and even treat successfully obesity.
Of the more than 100 million people suffering with obesity, a sizable percentage ride a bicycle or commute by bicycle.
With medical intervention as well as riding, the number of obesity cases has dropped significantly from 40 percent to 37 percent since 2022 or 7.6 million fewer cases.


One thing I look forward to this time of year here is new births especially of goslings, cranes and ducklings. They grace us with their new born way.
I had an interesting experience with a puncture that occurred on my rear wheel on Wednesday. I walked the bicycle and trailer 3 miles home.
When I got down to replacing it, I found the culprit of the flat was lack of rim tape on the rear wheel.

The location of the puncture on tube prove this without doubt. The seller sent out the wheel without rim tape.

Until the rim tape arrives, I’ve placed duct tape all around the interior of the wheel carefully covering all spoke holes.

Researchers have found that light pollution causes not only allergies but also asthma. Night light causes trees that emit pollen to be more active and pollen seasons longer.
Some trees create far more pollen than others, including fir, female poplar, and plane trees.
There is a 62% increase in likelihood of getting sick with asthma in a light-polluted area.
