If you’re hitting the trails in the U.K., Italy, Thailand, or some other countries, you may be unwittingly flipping someone the bird in another (hand) language.
For example, the hand signal for a peace sign or number 2 in some countries is the same as flipping someone off whereas a thumbs-up is derogatory in other countries.
For the low-down on inappropriate gestures in some foreign countries, visit Budget Travel’s July 12 newsletter.

Every Thursday during the summer & fall months, a unique but fun-loving group of folks get together for a little exercise and a lot of fun.
The Boulder Cruiser ride, in the terminology of Steve Martin, is a wild and crazy bunch of bike riders out for some two-wheeled excitement. Each week has a different theme. This weeks theme is “Roman toga ride.”
Wow – now that’s what I call a great combination… bikes and togas.
Some upcoming themes include:

Check out this video of a DiBlasi folding (adult) tricycle on the recumbent blog:
I am fascinated by how easily you can fold the cycle into a compact little package. It’s awesome. It appeals to both the bicycle fanatic and the gadget wonk in me.

As many of you know, I’m a big fan of all the great trails around Washington D.C. I wish I had a couple months to explore them all.
And if you think it wouldn’t take a couple months, then you’re not familiar w/ all the trails the end up in or near our nation’s capitol.
I wanted to bring your attention to a June blog entitled Watch: D.C. Residents Meet the Met Branch Trail.

“Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel… the picture of free, untrammelled womanhood.” – Susan B. Anthony, 1896Permanent link to this article: https://trailsnet.com/2010/07/06/biking-women/
