Electric folding bikes

In my current pursuit for a new bike (which I hope to make as shown in a previous post) I found a great collapsible bike for $700 USD, with the possible addition of electrical assist, this makes for a great idea for traveling!  I hope to use a python style bike, but a lesson can be taken from their design and style which I would be glad to ride. This bike doesn't look at all crappy like many other models; I think bikers tend to be very vain (you have to be to wear spandex and shave your legs.. )

Ciclovia in the news

I've been away visiting family, but in the past week grupo prociclovia made it into the news!

I got a lot of riding on the bike trails in Toronto, which are under supported by the city there, but still rock in comparison to what is here in Baja! ( I should also note that Toronto put them in back in the 70-80's when the city wasn't much bigger then Ensenada is now!

That is a lot of sugar

From SurgarStacks.com, images of fast food drinks with sugar cubes representing the amount of sugar it contains. Kinda makes you want it that much less....

A novel chainless, folding bicycle

An impressive design from Speed Studio Design, from the quick folding design to the ratcheting drive train.

White tea to help rid fat

Apparently white tea helps to burn and keep off fat. Interesting. I tried white tea for the first time this year. It is like a mild green tea. Very nice. In Hogaza Hogaza you can by the white tea by Cha'nte; I think I'll start drinking more!

Possible anti-obesity effects of white tea have been demonstrated in a series of experiments on human fat cells (adipocytes). Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Nutrition and Metabolism have shown that an extract of the herbal brew effectively inhibits the generation of new adipocytes and stimulates fat mobilization from mature fat cells.
