How many calories to consume per hour?

Submitted by tfan on Wed, 05/09/2012 - 11:58am

How many calories should I be consuming per hour on long rides, 100 mile plus. I weigh 160 pounds. I'm thinking 150 calories.

I don't go fast, about 15mph. Thanks

Bike Rack for Berks

Submitted by NSnow on Wed, 05/09/2012 - 11:50am

I am looking  for a bike rack that I might be able to borrow for the Birkshires weekend. 

Does anyone have a rack that would fit on a Jeep Grand Cherokee and hold three bikes that they aren't using and might be willing to loan?

Or, does anyone know if there are rentals out there?

thanks! Nicole

Fear of injury while cycling in NYC? Not according to this writer.

The first four paragraphs set the stage for the cycling-related toughts that follow but if you're interested only in this as cycling-centric, then blow off those paragraphs and start reading below the picture.

The comments under the article are of equal, and maybe even greater interest.

Oh, this one comment by me: Riding 30MPH on city streets here, as the author claims? I doubt it.
