[Cyclelicious] New comment on Major League Baseball Steroid Testing Policy.
Fritz has left a new comment on your post "Major League Baseball Steroid Testing Policy":
"Advance notice of only a few hours could provide the opportunity for players to ... use a device that allows them to fill their bladders with drug-free urine."
Ewwwwww.
And I like this part: "Baseball has increasingly toughened the penalties for violators." Relief pitcher Juan Salas was suspended for 50 games, he lost a third of his $380,000 salary and his team released a statement that they "will do all we can to help Juan get his career headed back on a positive course." In cycling, the team statement is usually "You're FIRED!"

[Cyclelicious] New comment on San Jose earthquake.
Fritz has left a new comment on your post "San Jose earthquake":
My brother was in San Bernardino during Northridge -- he was awake early in the morning when his dog started going nuts. He told me he could see transformers exploding in the distance.
It was fairly strong in Santa Cruz County, but nothing fell -- just some rattling.

[Cyclelicious] New comment on San Jose earthquake.
heley has left a new comment on your post "San Jose earthquake":
It was a pretty crazy earthquake. It's the strongest one I've felt. I was at Wal-Mart on Keyes in San Jose. A lot of things fell off shelves and glasses cracked everywhere. People were panicking. We never got to purchase what we wanted to get, they told us evacuate.
I was glad that my bf and I weren't in any of the aisles, because that's where most of the things fell. I started to freak out in the beginning, but he told me to stay calm.
Things hanging on the ceiling were swaying intensely.
It was crazy to see everyone around you panicking. Children started crying afterwards, and parents were looking for their children (a reason why you shouldn't let your children wander around a store unattended).
I still haven't felt an after shock though.

Yep I really felt it here in Campbell. Lots of movement, unsecured stuff on the shelves fell off, and there's a nice new hairline crack down the centerbeam of my living room.
Not the biggest for me-- i was living in L.A. for the Northridge EQ, which bounced me out of bed.
Still biking to work tomorrow though. :)

I have asthma so I probably need to pay attention. When we had those fires a few years ago I did have some trouble breathing.
Saturday I did a 70 mile ride in western Colorado. There was a noticeable haze from the CA fires but my breathing seemed fine. Monday I rode at lunch here in Colorado Springs and I had trouble breathing. Maybe it was something else but we had a pretty good haze.

Not so fast. The study was done at 90Hz and 0.2g. The frequency is just about right for riding over 4" cobbles at 20mph, but you'll probably need a pretty squishy bike to keep the acceleration that low. Vibrate too hard and you're killing cartilage faster than you're building bone.

So that's what my problem is! I gimped my wrist a few weeks ago and started riding my steel hybrid again, and this weekend I found that I'd slipped back into the Clydesdale Club (the name lovingly given to those of us who are above 200 pounds) after several months of losing weight while riding my aluminum Trek 1200.
Or, maybe I just need to ride more and eat less.

Kinda need to read to the end of the article. Vibrations cause stem cells to become bone cells instead of fat cells; however, once u r fat --- "One important thing to note is that the vibrations do not remove fat cells. Rubin said that once fat cells form, they tend to stick around. And vibrating won't get rid of them.
"If you have a fat mouse, in order to get rid of the fat, you need to metabolize it, just as we've all learned," Rubin said. "You need to get those mice out running marathons or pumping iron, or whatever it is that mice do to reduce their fat mass."
Scientists are pretty clear that the techniques for reducing fat mass will work in humans, too."
Or riding bike at 80-90% heart rate.

So that's why I've gotten so fat. I got a Roubaix for RAAM last year. I'd been riding a steel road bike. I still ride a hardtail mountain bike though. I think the real problem is I haven't been riding any of my bikes enough.

Gee, d'ya think? How come so few f us got the word in 1973, and then in 1978? All through school I heard that oil was finite. So bicycling has been a major mode of transportation in my past. It will continue in my future as long as I have one.

And that goes for guys, too. Neon Lycra has its place, but when people assume they must wear "cycling" clothing, it's another excuse to ride less or not at all. I've got drawers and closets full of great bike clothes I wear every day, and none of it came from a bike shop.

Of all the cycling deaths in KC that have gotten any press in the short amount of time that I've been riding and interested in this sort of thing, I can say that most of them in KC end up the same way.
I was VERY thankful when the court finally laid the smack down on the guy who slaughtered a man and his grand-daughter who were training for the local MS-150 charity ride.
