"Obama believes that after an abortion….
and the child comes out ALIVE, he believes that there is a right to kill it (just not feed it or care for it) until it dies. He also believes that the deserts and rivers should be closed down for uses such as dirt biking and such."
a conservative republican told this to me, what are they actually trying to say Obama wants to do? or is it completely made up?
The "Born Alive" issue is irrelevant. The Fetus is incapable of surviving at all at the point that the issue is referring to. The deserts and rivers thing I am not familiar with, but frankly, it sounds like something that was taken way out of context and blown way out of proportion by paranoid repubs, just like the first issue.
Bike Tree – cycle parking Japanese style
Author: admin
Has Japan designed the world’s best bike shed?
It’s not often something stops you in your bike tracks. But a spectacular “bike tree” invention from Japan bowled me over when I was in Tokyo a couple of weeks ago.
Fed up with bicycles locked to railings, piled on top of each other, blocking doorways and roads, a local council in the city installed the mechanical masterpiece. It’s basically an automatic storage system for cycles and operates with computer tagging of bikes and either storage in a building or a basement structure.
There are a number of locations where these bike trees are now in place in Tokyo some hold 600-odd bikes, others more than 6,000. The concept came from the massive Japanese steel company JFE, whose engineering works division first started them in 2007 but are now spreading.
The idea is quite simple, although no doubt the technology is fiendishly complicated. Bike owners who want a secure parking spot must register and pay a monthly fee 1,800 yen (around £12 a month) and students get discounts.
Bikes are fitted with a small electronic tag. When the bike is placed into the ruts of the bike tree machine, a sensor logs the owner’s details. A mechanical arm then emerges, pulls the bike into a cylindrical well and stores it at high speed in a free location. To retrieve the bike, the owner swipes a card through a reader and the bike is plucked from racks and brought back down or up if it’s a basement design to earth. The process of retrieval normally takes 15 seconds but can be slightly longer (it took 30 seconds in my experience).
The advantages are plain your bike becomes theft-proof, you are encouraged to cycle to work and local authorities don’t have to deal with unsightly and sometimes annoying bicycle clutter. The downside is that it costs a lot of money and the infrastructure involves serious resources.
The tree’s inventors at JFE are very proud of their invention and naturally curious as to whether it would catch on Europe. Perhaps it’s time Boris Johnson, London’s cycling mayor and biking knight in shining armour, took a look.

Where can i go on a quad biking holiday?
Author: admin
I want to go on a quad biking holiday, for 2 or 3 days.
I am 16, i only want to quad bike, not walk absail etc etc.
Where can i do this?
There is a large mountainous area set up near Canmore Alberta (between Calgary and Banff). Quads to a fair bit of damage to the environment, so the though was to allow it in an area, where people can quad, camp, etc., but the damage is confined to this area.
Mario symbols appear in bike lanes

From bananas to mushrooms to stars – one of Portland’s bike lanes is looking more like a race track on Nintendo’s Mario Kart game.

I just bought one and was wondering how well it will hold up to some heavy offroad biking. Is it very durable. Are there weak points? Not looking for other suggestions of bikes, just looking for experience on the Frontier Sport.
You asked, "Are there weak points?" Hate to be the bearer of bad news – but yes. The rear gear cluster is a Shimano 7sp 13-28 freewheel not a cassette. See link below from Sheldon Brown. A cassette hub combined with double walled rims vs. the single walled rims on your bike would be better suited for rough terrain.
All-in-all, priced about the same as a Trek 3500. Good entry level mountain bike. Just don’t be doing anything extreme on it.

What will my body gain from mountain biking?
Author: admin
Im heavy into lifting and taking protein, would you suggest i do mountain biking as well? I know of a few trails around here but not sure if i want to spend 50 on a generic mountain bike.. Sounds like fun but not sure what the benifits are? Thanks for your time!
Go for it. The cardio benefits perfectly compliment lifting. Plus, you’ll be experiencing a new sport that might lead to all sorts of new adventures, competitive and otherwise. Be careful. Cycling might turn into an addiction.

Bike messengers dodging traffic in New York City. I did not shoot or produce this video! Filmed and edited by Lucas Brunelle. Credits to the real guys are at the end… this is unedited and I don’t even remember where I got it from… it’s still an incredible video. Props to the guys behind it.
