\n…A few of us at BikeDFW have been involved in bicycle advocacy in Dallas since the early 1980’s and this is the first time any of us can remember the city organizing its own bike ride. We think this is a milestone for cycling in Dallas (and North Texas) and extend our kudos to Bicycle Coordinator Max Kalhammer and the Department of…<\/p>\n

\nAs captain of his own ship, David Eggleston happily casts his craft into the civilized wilds.<\/p>\n

With it, he wishes health and vitality to all folks through cycling and good eats, energy for the engine.<\/p>\n

“Look, Daddy, there’s a rocket ship,” a youngster exclaimed, as Eggleston recently was riding around Midland on a Saturday morning. He was cycling, comfortably and somewhat reclined, in his velomobile. …<\/p>\n

Fat Tire Bike Tours guide sightseers boldly through Paris history, architecture<\/strong><\/span><\/a>
\nBy Ellise Pierce\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Special to the Star-Telegram
\nPARIS — First, a little background. I live in Paris. I have a bike. It is in the garage, covered in three years of dust. I rode my bike (then brand-new) exactly once, and was so terrified of getting smashed by one of Paris’ crazy, screaming, fist-waving drivers that I never rode it again. I prefer the city’s super-efficient-when-not-on-strike metro…<\/p>\n

\nFor a 4 week training cycle, I decided to try block training, which I describe in an earlier post.\u00c2\u00a0 Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an update on how it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s going!<\/p>\n

I have completed the first week of block training, so on to week 2!\u00c2\u00a0 Week 1 went pretty well, as I was focused on sprinting. To accomplish this, I was doing mainly 300 meter sprints, which is roughly between 20-30 seconds of effort.\u00c2\u00a0 Other days I would concentrate on 1 minute intervals, which is about the longest interval I can do where I feel my muscles are performing purely anaerobically.\u00c2\u00a0 Anything longer wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really be a sprint workout, but…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
