Extractions: Every Saturday, there is a set ritual at our house. Actually, it begins on Friday nights, upon retiring. "Good night, honey- and oh, by the way- please set the alarm for 5 a.m. there's the "Y2K metric 2000" going on this weekend, and I need to be there with the others by seven!" Too tired and sleepy to offer resistance to such a request, I set the alarm- on the WEEKEND, no less- and.. It's 5 a.m.! UGH. I am happy that cyclists have so many neat and interesting rides to choose from, and participate in. They are indeed great exercise. However, when my spouse returns from these adventures, he resembles something our two cats have found outside and decided to play with indoors. "How was the ride?" I cheerfully offer. Smiling, with beads of less-than-fragrant perspiration still lingering on his cycling outfit, my spouse replies "Oh, it was GREAT! Three people showed up, only one flat tire and if it wasn't for the fact that I bonked twice and had to pepper-spray a Chihuahua, it would have been perfect!" He then collapses with great drama, on the foot of our bed. I am always so happy to see that he has enjoyed himself so much. It never ceases to amaze me, that with all the club-sponsored rides we have, that more folks do not participate in them. They seem to have a cycling gene in their biological makeup, which automatically overrides all thought processes that tell them "Hey, it's the weekend and I really need to get caught up on some much-needed sleep!" I also know, that if I were a cyclist (and I very much respect those of you who are), I would wait until Spring or Summer, when at least daylight is abundant in those early-morning hours.

Lifestyle guru Faith Popcorn coined the term 'cocooning' in the 1980s to describe the American need to retreat from the realities of life. Cocooning was considered a way to protect oneself and disconnect from the outside world. Now American homeowners are acting like a whole different type of insect. "'Shortly after 9/11 there was a lot of discussion about a new return to home, about the 'new cocooning,'' said J. Walker Smith, president of Yankelovich, a Chapel Hill, N.C.-based marketing consulting group that tracks consumer attitudes. 'But this return is actually quite different.' Yankelovich trend-watchers began seeing signs of this new return home in 1998 and coined the term "hiving" in 2001. Like a beehive, a hive home represents engagement, interaction and connection with the outside environment. It has larger, open gathering areas. Hive homes are also often on smaller lots, encouraging use of community centers and parks that are an integral part of a hiving community..."

Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar The railbike odyssey continues. I finally decided the test tracks at Wallace and L Streets in Bozeman were destroying my bike. Sure, the first couple of times it was important for me to take care of some necessary tweaking, but after repairing the thing time and time again I finally realized that I was dealing with the worst set of railroad tracks in the state of Montana. So, onto bigger and better things. Was my bike ready? Who knows. It wasn't ready to take another beating at the test tracks, that's for sure. I had originally considered riding the abandoned line from Wilsall to Livingston, but after a bit of research I realized I'd have permission issues with some of the landowners along the rail line. I needed a place without such constrictions, preferably on National Forest or BLM land. I needed... Homestake Pass. The rails running alonside it, however, aren't steep at all. After all, it's rare that any railroad has more than a three percent grade, Homestake included. It takes a big, swooping northward turn before coming back toward the interstate, making the pass in double the distance. Plus, the rails were gorgeous compared to the test tracks: straight, gleaming, clean, and totally gap-free. If it weren't for the large sage and juniper bushes growing up between the rails, it might even be fun.

Extractions: Imagine gliding along on ribbons of steel, through breathtaking open space, enjoying the pristine air, the abundant wildlife, and the silence. Your ride is as smooth as glass and there's no traffic. Your hands are free to take pictures or en joy your lunch. Your path is never steep. Where there's a hill, you go around it or through a tun nel. Where there's a river, you go over a bridge. Breath deeply relax, enjoy . . . A hundred years ago, dozens of patents were granted for various contraptions which adapted a common bicycle to ride on railroads. The 1908 Sears catalog offered a railbike attachment for $5.45. But this unique form of cycling never caught on, largely because no one wanted to share the rails with the trains which were far more numerous and active in those days. A new book called "RAILBIKE- Cycling On Abandoned Railroads," written by experienced railbiker Bob Mellin, provides an overview of the history, current status, and predicted future of cycling on the rails. Safety issues are discussed in detail and suggestions for exploring the vast network of abandoned rails are presented. A companion book entitled "RIGHT-OF-WAY - A Guide To Abandoned Railroads" is also available to guide in locating abandoned tracks. State-by-state maps identify abandoned rails and some of the history of the lines and the companies that operated them is included.

Extractions: Jump to: navigation search A draisine primarily refers to a light auxiliary rail vehicle or trolley Drais' Laufmaschine 1817 The eponymous term is derived from German Baron Karl Christian Ludwig Drais ... von Sauerbronn , who invented his Laufmaschine German for "running machine") in 1817, that was called Draisine (English) or draisienne (French) by the press. It is the first reliable claim for a practically-used bicycle , basically the first commercially successful two-wheeled, steerable, human-propelled machine commonly called a velocipede , nick-named hobby-horse or dandy horse Later, the name draisine, came to be applied only to versions used on rails and was extended to similar vehicles, even when not human powered. Rail-cycle with 4 wheels Draisine is spelled dressin in Sweden and dresin in Norway and dr¦sine in Denmark. In Finland the word is "resiina". Usually, dressin refers to pedal-powered rail-cycles which were used by railroad maintenance workers in Finland, Sweden and Norway until about 1950, as handcars were elsewhere.
