bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Cycling can transform the body and mind, and enable a unique connection with nature and a community, bringing back the joy, freedom and exhilaration that we once felt as children. Elysa Walk tells the story of how conquering challenges and going the distance can bring a sweet appreciation of the joyful things in life. Powerful change to our world can be made through the simple pleasure of riding a bicycle. She sees the bicycle as the vehicle to expand and enrich women's lives. "The simple act of riding a bike can change your life." -Elysa In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Joy, till he runs into a fuckin' tree. Everybody I know who cycled off road sustained some injury that stopped them. Stay on-road.
-
Yes. Keep riding !!
-
Remember, riding a bicycle does not have to be a sport. Riding can be done for every day transport on a comfortable city bicycle, in normal clothes, and without any "safety" gear. Just look up dutch bicycling for some good information.

A wonderful presentation
-
Another similar experience is kayaking (instead of boating), especially the new ones from Hobby that have foot paddles.
-
I agree with everything she says. Especially about be aware of your surroundings while biking, scents and fragrances get pumped up into your nose, feel the wind on your skin, in your hair, I've seen deer and rabbits run in front of me, bikes make little or no noise so it's easy to see all kinds of animals. All your senses get involved, it's a wonderful sport. Only thing that puzzles me is that she looks a little too fat to be a serious biker.
-
She is exactly right about riding a bike is almost as good as yoga... It brings down my stress alot.
