Brodie Bikes Hits the Vancouver Seawall Video

Health and Fitness: Running on Empty

Whether you’re riding your bicycle or working out, make sure you’re not running on empty. Have a small snack before you hit the weights or the pavement! You cannot expect your body to perform when you have not given it some fuel. There is no point in doing a workout on an empty stomach. You will not be able to push yourself to get the results you want if you don’t start with some fuel in the tank. Continue reading Health and Fitness: Running on Empty…

The class was also unique in that 3 out of 4 students owned electric bicycles, with one student, Justin, owning Grin Technologies. This company, with eleven employees, (surprised me!) sells everything to do with electric bicycles. Continue reading Framebuilding 101…

According to recent research, more than two thirds of adults go through their day dehydrated. If you want to keep your body operating optimally, you need to become a regular water drinker.
