#bikeschool

#bikeschool is a live chat on Twitter every Thursday night at 9p EST. We talk about bikes and have fun… a lot of fun. Like all classrooms there are pranksters, teacher’s pets and people who sit in the front row wearing spandex.

#bikeschool was established in 2010 by @bikerly, @lovingthebike, and @egggman.

In the spring of 2012, @twittyboyd become the #bikeschool administrator, and has been the driving force in keeping the weekly chat rolling along.

If you’d like to be one of our #bikeschool guest professors or have a cool idea for class, be sure to let @twittyboyd know.  To find out about riding bikes, and more visit pedaling.info/.

Sugar Alternatives for Energy and Hydration

Question: I am using the homebrew sugar formulations (sometimes added to green tea).  I am also trying to wean myself off 1/2 dose adrenalean “lip tonic delivery system” (biorhythm brand- caffeine, hoodia g, synephrine, yohimbe) capsule for energy.

My question is other than juice, can you suggest modifications in lieu of table sugar for energy and hydration.

Answer:

Both raw/organic honey or agave can work great in the homebrew (substitute in the same quantities for the sugar, or to taste), but you do have to shake well in order to make sure they don’t settle out.  Have you tried either of these?  Also, make sure to use at least the minimum amount of salt recommended in the homebrew as the temps rise, you need the sodium replacement if you’re sweating.
