When you start riding a ton you get to a point where you can almost eat anything you want and still can't equal the calories you burn. I don't usually ride that much, but I ride enough to work up a pretty good appetite. Some foods are better than others to help your body recover more quickly. At least that's what this article in Bicycling magazine told me.
So figuring I'm going to be riding a lot more I thought it was a good time to get out and buy some of the foods in those recipes. Unfortunately for me, Coke Zero was not listed as a recovery food. And of course spaghetti makes the list, yuck! Anyway, I'm excited to fire up the blender and make some smoothies, but I've got to make sure I fire up the bike first!
The last couple days I've been riding my biketown bike to work. It's a hybrid with a top speed probably around 18 mph. OK, I hope it's not that slow. What it lacks in speed and any inkling of coolness it makes up for in comfort. It sports some nice fat tires and an equally fat seat. It's been the perfect bike for the combination of pot holes, construction and thunderstorms I've been facing the past couple days. It's that time of year in Charlotte when every day is sticky and humid and there's a 40 to 60 percent chance of an evening storm.
Sometimes I fail to give that biketown bike the proper love. It's not great, but shoot, I got it for free! Unlike Mr. Fuji, my old bike, or Silver, my new road bike, I don't have a nickname for this one. I'll have to think on that one. Any suggestions?
Ramble!

I thought its nickname was The Bike Fiscus Steals Occasionally
Hmmm I think it needs work ... but BF-SO is a contender
You should lower you biketown bike & put some chrome spinner rims on it -- shoot, you should also put a chalice holder, 18in speakers, pink dice & some deer antlers on it...... you could then call your bike your "Pimptown" bike.
You should put on the spinners and rust it out and call it the "Flint Ride" bike.
