    with a video

    Quoted: The old presumption that holding a stretch for 20 to 30 seconds β€” known as static stretching β€” primes muscles for a workout is dead wrong. It actually weakens them.

    Wrench Science - Bike Fit System

    Quoted: To maximize comfort and performance on a bicycle, fit is essential. To insure accuracy work with a partner, take all measurements 3 times and then take the average. The WS Fit System is very precise and requires exact measurements to fit you correctly. Our recommendations will only be as good as your measurements. This will enable WS.com to recommend the correct size frame and stem length for your body type ensuring proper ergonomic fit.

    Suggests a frame size, saddle height, handlebar width and reach.

    Burke-Gilman, Sammamish River & East Lake Sammamish Bike Trails

    My custom Google Map of about 30miles of connecting bike trails from Seattle(Fremont) to Bothell to Marymoore Park in Redmond to Sammamish.

    I'll finish the East Lake Sammamish trail(which stretches south to Issaquah) on the map as I complete it on my bike. See my last "cycling" fave for pdf maps of the larger King County trail system.

    Exercise on the Brain

    Quoted: For people whose work is unstimulating, having mentally challenging hobbies, like learning a new language or playing bridge, can help maintain cognitive performance. But the belief that any single brain exercise program late in life can act as a quick fix for general mental function is almost entirely faith-based. One form of training, however, has been shown to maintain and improve brain health β€” physical exercise.
