HOW TO BIKE WITH YOUR BEST FRIEND…

April 6, 2016 By Whitney McKiddy 5 Comments

…and your dog. On March 5th, a puppy named Bowin came into my life. My sincere belief was that she would have no effect on my biking habits. As a surprise to no one, I was quite wrong. We had big dreams of a well trained dog, running alongside us as we would ride gracefully down the […]

WINTER GEAR GUIDE.

December 5, 2015 By Whitney McKiddy 1 Comment

What to wear and when to wear it. One thing that you will hear often in life, and more often in the world of cycling, bodies are different. This is especially true when discussing winter weather gear because everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to freezing temperatures. These recommendations are coming from my experience, commuting […]

HOW TO COMMUTE DURING THE DEEP FREEZE.

December 4, 2015 By Whitney McKiddy 4 Comments

There’s cold, and then there’s winter bike commuting.    Coming from Montana, I thought I could handle any weather that Vermont blew my way – but when wind chill kicked the temperature down to almost 40 below zero last year, I was a bit out of my element.

GIVING THANKS TO YOUR BIKE.

October 29, 2015 By Whitney McKiddy 6 Comments

It’s time to say ‘Thank You’ to your two wheeled stallion.   November is a tough time for cyclists who live in colder climates. The season has moved on but our bikes are still handy, not fully stored for winter because we just might get that one warm day. I use this time to give […]

October 26, 2015 By Whitney McKiddy Leave a Comment

  It’s hard not to have heard about core training. But what is it and how exactly does it benefit cyclists? Our core is not what we typically think of – it’s not just your abdominal muscles or having a flat stomach. Your core is a group of muscles that form a band around your […]

LET’S GET COMFORTABLE.

September 2, 2015 By Whitney McKiddy 1 Comment

My Journey to Saddle Comfort.   I can vividly remember my very first rides in 1999.  I had signed up to train and ride 100 miles in Lake Tahoe, and my saddle pain seemed insurmountable. Finally, I looked at my coach and said, “I can’t do this, the pain is too intense.” He looked back at me […]

Self help books on sale in a bookstore

TURNING NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS FROM FICTION TO NONFICTION. As I walked into a major book retailer, I was assaulted with reminders that it was the end of December, which means resolution time, and that our new year’s resolutions often “go on sale or clearance”.
