Bicycle Tutor – Bike Repair and Maintenance

I recently got a new bike and soon wanted to start adjusting and playing with all the different parts I could.  I figured out that I had no clue what I was doing, so I searched for a good website to teach me how.  What I found was Bicycletutor.com.

The website is full of short tutorials to help walk you through each step of bicycle repair and maintenance.  The most helpful part that I liked was the fact that the website provided not only a video tutorial, but also a matching description of each step.

World Class Fitness in 100 Words

My brother showed me a strength and conditioning program called CrossFit, and while reviewing the website I found this statement that I think really sums up fitness well.



World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

I’m not an expert in this field, but I think this statement holds quite a bit of value. Thanks brother. CrossFit
