So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Commuter Bike, The New Age Of Getting To Work

By Kyle Piraino


For those who live in a normal suburban area, their day starts with getting up, getting ready, and sitting in traffic driving to work. Those who are lucky enough to live in a city setting have multiple options when trying to figure out how to get to work. Personally, if I had the option, there would be no doubt in my mind that I would use a commuter bike.

With the other options being subway, buses, walking, or even driving, there does not seem to be a reason why someone would choose those over a nice commute while riding a bike. Traffic has got to be one of the most annoying parts of the commute, and with a bike, it cuts all of that annoyance right out of the day, both too and from work. Add in the amount of exercise you get and it seems like a no brainer.

Most people do not even have a choice in the matter about how they get to work. They are shackled to a car because they have to go long distances to get to work. Getting stuck at every traffic light on the way to work is extremely frustrating and makes the commute seem that much longer. The monotony on the way to work can cause your whole day to be dry and boring.

But a commuter bike could solve this problem for anyone who lives in a city setting. That annoying subway train ride or standing on a cramped bus could be easily avoided. The only problems I could see occurring is if it was very hot out, but even then in a city such as New York there are no hills and all the roads are flat so there would not be as much effort exerted when compared to a suburban area.

If I had the choice, riding my bike to work would absolutely be the move. The easy of travel as well the money saved on subway rides or bus passes would be enough for me to ride a bike. If I lived in the city, it would be a no brainer. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I envy those who don't need to drink coffee in the morning because their blood is already pumping from their morning exercise and commute combination.
