Gut-reduction?
Hello,
I used to be quite a svelte, trim cyclist until I got older, and
started gaining weight around the midsection (i.e. gut).
I still cycle, at least, 20 miles a day. I eat a pretty healthy,...

in Wisconsin) in bicycle use due to gasoline prices. I hope it
continues.
Besides the bicycle, I wonder what other methods of...

Recumbent bikes, and trikes, in the Netherlands?
Recumbents are a pretty rare sight in the U.K.?
U.S. recumbent cyclists are similar to the Dutch. They seem to be

Tandem speed vs. single-rider speed?
Hello,
I'm sure tandem bikes tend to have a higher speed than single-rider
bikes because there are four legs pedaling it. Yet, the bike has more
