5 Hydration Rules for Cyclists |
|
1. Get a head start on hydration for the day first thing!
Best advice is to have a 750ml to 1L water bottle by your bed before you go to sleep every night. First thing when you wake up, DRINK IT! This wakes up your metabolism, replaces lost water from sleep and gets your body on the right track for hydration. This one change in my routine has made a huge difference in my daily energy and performance.

Use Extreme Caution!
Not every winter day is a cycling day. Some days it is better to leave your bicycle at home. Riding in the snow is a challenge even for very highly skilled cyclists. Use discretion.
- If you feel comfortable riding in the snow, remember that drivers can't stop as quickly and the roads may be narrower because of the snow piled at the curb.
- Icy conditions are never recommended for cycling.

What is Spinning?
 Spinning is an indoor aerobic conditioning program utilizing stationary exercise bikes or your bike and a trainer. It is performed in a group setting with the help of an instructor and/or spinning DVD. During the class you vary your pace -- sometimes pedaling as fast as you can, other times cranking up the tension and pedaling slowly from a standing position. This helps you to focus inwardly and work on your mind as well as your body.

Can bicycles be made unstealable? |
|
As police continue to count all the stolen bikes they’ve found since cracking the Toronto bike-theft ring, the Star talks to design experts to see if it’s possible to make an unstealable bike. Starting in September, the Bicycle Trade Association of Canada and Canadian Crime Stoppers are launching a nationwide bicycle identification program using microdot technology, where a PIN number is encoded on a data dot the size of a grain of sand. The dots are applied in a liquid adhesive on all the moveable parts of a bike and can be read using ultraviolet light and an inexpensive magnifier. The kit will sell in bike stores. The benefit, says Pat Cowman, president of Datadot Technology Canada, is that it’s a national system and can identify bikes stolen in Toronto that might end up for sale in Montreal or Ottawa. The technology is already being used to identify cars and power tools; police forces across Canada are being trained to use the technology in retrieving stolen industrial materials. |
