Cut the Fat – Ride a Bike

Bicycle Commuting as an Urban Safari
One of the best things about cycling, even in winter, is that it brings you closer to your surroundings than car travel or public transportation.

Last week, we looked at a report from The Wall Street Journal that suggested a link between exposure to fuel emissions and neurological disorders. While driving is sometimes necessary, we know it’s not great for our health: as part of a sedentary lifestyle, it can contribute to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and now, even [...]
