Our Loving the Bike teammate, Myron is one proud Daddy this week.  His son, Parker just became a two-wheel rider and we’re so happy for him.

“After weeks of trying to figure out how to pedal his bike, Parker finally learned how to get his bike to move forward on his own.  The best part is listening to him sing and hum to himself (his favourite tune is ‘I’m getting bigger every day!’)  Now he wants to practice riding every morning and go for a ride with Dad around the block.” #summerofdoing

    Thanks for the comments everyone. He really enjoys riding. He’s also named his bike “Super Speed” because he can go really fast on a bike. :)

    Parker serves as a role model for us “adults” to not forget the joy of riding. Way to go Parker!

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.
