Meet Cadel Evans
If there is one thing about professional cycling that kind of bothers me, it is that there are so many cyclists out there that it can be difficult to know enough information about those who manage to do well in the sport. There are some that you just have to know due to numerous wins or other circumstances, like Lance Armstrong. He is pretty much a household name for even those households that never even tried to enjoy cycling. Anyways, I wanted to know more about the 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans. I figured you might want to know more about this champion as well, so let’s meet him.
North American Biking
As each year passes it appears that more and more people are choosing to live their lives in a greener more environmentally friendly way. One thing that goes along with living that lifestyle is choosing to keep the car in the driveway and choosing the bike instead. Of course there are some cities that tend to be more friendly to bikers than others, but a lot of towns are hopping on board to encourage people to bike around instead of drive gas guzzling vehicles. Of course the cities that are the friendliest toward these bikers are the ones with the most bikers commuting to and from places.
Safe Cycling
Biking or cycling is not just something that we like to tune into and watch on television. It is so much more than that. We bike to and from work, to run errands, and a lot more. It is also an incredible way to get in some great exercise so that you are healthier and in turn happier. There are even some people that we know of who get pretty cranky if they cannot get their bike ride in each day. Seriously we had to talk a friend out of going the day he was released out of the hospital after a coronary artery bypass surgery. And hey, we get it because we are a little bit obsessed ourselves.
