The animosity towards those of us who practice cycling has come to the fore again. As if we did not have enough with the traps in the mountains, sadly famous for years, now it is the turn of the bike lanes and the roads, as we have learned in recent days, specifically, through an event that occurred in the Madrid's community.
While waiting to receive the second chair, and to be able to go on outings together - father, mother and twins -, we have already experienced the sensations that the WeeRide Safe Front DeLuxe child seat transmits with a short walk where the dwarfs, in turns, have I was able to feel for the first time what it's like to ride a bike.
After a long wait, the time has come. The dwarfs already sit up and hold their heads up without problems. It's time to get them on the bike... in this case their father's, of course. And the chair chosen for his first rides on two wheels was the WeeRide Safe Front Deluxe.
Today is one of those days when it is difficult to get going, turn on the computer, get to work or get on the bike. Because today we woke up, once again, to the tragic news that a cyclist has been hit by a vehicle in the hands of a driver who has tested positive for alcohol and drugs. And the cyclist, finally, has died.
Cycling is a sport on the rise. More and more of us are practicing some form of this wonderful sport. And, it is clear, when you have been hitting the pedals for a while and feel how your performance improves, you want to try yourself in events of various kinds. So far everything is perfect, as there is a wide calendar of pure competitions for each category, from the youngest to the Master 60.
Let's be honest. Not even in my wildest dreams could I imagine that before Marcos and Lucas were one month old I would be able to get on the bike again... and go pedaling beyond the storage room. Well yes, I have achieved it! And improving the already optimistic forecasts that I mentioned in the previous post! So now you know, first-time cyclist parents, “yes we can (ride our bicycles)”.
I write these lines while holding a baby just days old asleep on my lap... and his newborn brother seems to be watching me from the nearby couch. Yes, indeed, I have been a father and doubly so. Two twins, healthy, handsome (yes, okay, I drool over them...) and desired ones who have arrived to give a 360 degree turn to our lives.
Pedaling by sensation versus pedaling with a heart rate monitor
Some days ago I met a good friend pedaling through the roads of Huesca. He had lost track of her since he went to live in Barcelona for a few years, so we take the opportunity to catch up and we talked about everything a little: family, work, solving the country and, of course, our common passion, which is cycling.
He was competing in amateurs, then he moved to duathlon and then triathlon. He told me that I haven't touched my bike for ten years. and he was surprised when I told him that I had not stopped riding for twenty years – it is clear that not daily because daily responsibilities prevent me from doing so, but always taking hours where there are none to pedal...
Asked the reason for his abandonment for so many years: were you injured? work?
- "no no…I ended up burned! I realize that so much training and so much sacrifice are of no use. And why haven't you left it?
-"Scabies with pleasure does not itch"
And the thing stayed there, but when I got home I started thinking about his question.
Discover the incredible bike routes through Andalusia
Discuss Andalusia is talking about sun and beach, but Andalusia is really much more and specifically Antequera is different, having the city of Malaga one hour away, we are facing an inland city that It gives us a multitude of kilometers to do bike routes, both with mountain bike and road riding.
Antequera it is found in a geographic enclave strategic, being located in the center of Andalusia, where the main communication routes of the community converge. The city is located 45 km from Malaga and 115 km from Córdoba, cities with which it is connected by high-speed train.
This beautiful area offers us a huge range of possibilities to plan our preseason training, or ride long distances with significant slopes in the event that the season is already advanced.
Doing A getaway always recharges us with energy. Many times we enter the “squirrel day” loop and do not realize that we need a break to paradoxically connect to life. Do you need to disconnect or change your scenery? How long has it been since you went on a trip? Don't know what to do this November long weekend? READ MORE

Consistency brings you closer to your goals
Perseverance, perseverance, tenacity, stubbornness, continued effort or whatever we want to call it is something that we acquire from the day we are born to carry out any of our daily actions. Getting up early in the morning to go to school, institute, work...study, train, go to extracurricular activities after a hard day, etc. It requires great energy and enthusiasm, which will not always accompany us to develop them.
What is it like to be a “piranha” cyclist?All of us who are already of an age, I mean well into our thirties or more, remember some legendary programs from old Spanish television: Man and the Earth, with the peculiar broadcast of Felix Rodriguez de la Fuente; the one two three, with his Ruperta, Bigote Arrocet and Doña Rogelia; but and Blue summer with Chanquete, Pancho and PIRANHA!?
