“To be or not to be” Parody

To bike or not to bike – that is the question:

Whether ‘tis truer on the feet to suffer

The gorges and mountains of serrated asphalt,

Or to mount wheels against a hostile terrain

And, by riding, crush it. To walk, to stride –

No more – and by a stride to say we end

The potholes and the thousand angry drivers

The semester is gearing up, and we all lament the end of the holiday season spent with friends, family and loved ones. As we scramble to prepare for a busy spring semester ('spring' in name only) we tend to forget the vehicles we relied on during the warmer parts of the year to get around. I don’t mean our cars. No, the noble steeds to which I refer are the bicycles.

Experiencing my first bike wipeout (no worries, it was very minor) and just being plum out of luck with no bandages in my bag, I decided it might be a good idea to post on the Bike Temple website some suggestions about what to carry in your biking bag, in case of emergency. The article below, written by Jane at Cycling Sisters gives a great list of items you may want to think about carrying with you on a ride.

That is equivalent to 7,314,800 calories burned and a reduction of 146,296 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Chinatown balking at bike lane. Claims that business loss are unfounded?

"RESIDENTS and business owners gathered under Chinatown's iconic arch yesterday to petition against plans to place bike lanes in the heart of the commercial district in September.

A temporary bike lane is slated for the left curb of 10th Street from Spring Garden to Lombard Street as part of the city's effort to improve two-wheel traffic; a portion south of Market street already is in place. The bike lanes will be in place for three to six months while they are evaluated.

Docs steer biking passion to public health causes

When interviewing Temple medical residency candidates, one of the first questions that Deputy Program Director Sue Gersh asks is, "Are you a cyclist?"

The way they answer doesn’t sway her decision, but the question does offer future internal medicine doctors insight into the culture of the Temple department. More than half the doctors in the General Internal Medicine division are cyclists; those who don't bike are avid exercisers.
