Darryl
I love cycling. Although I am more of a road cyclist myself….I love all bikes and totally love to see people riding them. I crave to make it my only means of transportation. I blog about all things associated in and around the bike….and you can think of our Loving the Bike site as a place that talks about cycling as a lifestyle. I believe that everything in life revolves around a bike….and it’s better because of it. In my opinion, the bike is the coolest commonality found between people and I think that is so awesome. I am very happy to belong to the cycling blog community….these bloggers rock.
Why am I Loving the Bike?
I am loving the bike because it provides me with a means to keeping my body in good physical condition while enjoying every single minute of it. I love it because of the solitude and meditative state that is brings me to every time I’m on it. I love the connection it gives our family when out on a ride together. I love the craftsmanship and beauty of the design. I love the camaraderie and brotherhood among riders. I love the speed and knowing that I am moving myself solely by my own power. I love the fact that there is no better means of environmentally friendly transportation than the bike. I am simply loving the bike.

Hi Darryl,
I’m Saras from Cambridge Mask Co. It is really a nice article on your top 5 cycling tips but we believe you are missing our product which is a respirator with military grade mask.
Let me give you a brief intro of the Cambridge Mask. The mask works by trapping small particles. This trapping occurs by size (it has been shown to block >99% of particles of size 0.3 microns and up), and also by chemical charge. You can check our details on http://www.cambridgemask.com
As well as several embassies and companies, we have already worked with St Mary’s Bryanston Square School, MSB, WAB, YCIS and The German School. And coming up we are going to work with Deliveroo – a British online bicycle food delivery that operates in two hundred cities. Deliveroo announced a series of measures to help keep riders safe. Among the measures a pollution mask would allows riders to raise health concerns that I am sure you would concern as well.
At the Cambridge Mask Co we are always looking for possible collaborations and so I am wondering if you have any interest in receiving mask donations for free give aways to your readers or yourself. In exchange we would be happy to be included in the article above about our masks in your site?
We would be happy to either make a donation to your site for your help or if you would like to tryout the mask I am more than happy to dispatch one from our warehouse – just let me know what size you would need , and tell me your address and phone number.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my email, I hope we are able to come to an arrangement.
Best wishes,
Saras

Thanks so much for your Top 3 Routes in Grenada and your YouTube videos as well! I’ll be moving to Grenada in January and am trying to decide what cycling gear I should bring with me, and determine what’s available on the island. I’ve found Mocha Spoke and will definitely be getting in touch with them. If you have time would you send me a quick e-mail? I’d love to know a little more.
Great article. Write more, I would love to read more.
You’ve got lots of features, you must be really great at what you are doing. I’m impressed by what I have read.
probably you may have comments on my 10 lists of bikes that I have in my blog. Check it out.
Loads of great reasons to love your bike there! What’s not to love! I have my own personal reasons posted over on my site but another very good reason is for the fantastic community involved in cycling. They’re such a supportive, friendly group of people….I love that!
After your reply to my recent comment on your “2013 – The #Lucky Year” article, I have written an article of my own about my lifetime commitment to cycling. Do you accept guest articles? If so, how can I submit it for consideration?
Thanks!
