Ken Kifer's Bike Pages

Purpose and Content

The purpose of Ken Kifer's Bike Pages is to share what I know about cycling and to encourage others to bicycle as well. All articles are written by me and reflect my knowledge and personal experience, not something someone else said. Although having a strong philosophical streak, these bike pages include practical cycling information, statistical analysis, personal accounts of long trips and local experiences, photos, and humor. I don't deny having a bias: I think that we should all waste less and consume less, learn to appreciate Nature more, take better care of our bodies, and adopt a less-stressful pace of life. I promote using a bicycle instead of a motor vehicle because doing so is kind to the environment, good for the body, and good for the psyche.

Cycling News and Tidbits

Since this page is the most visited page on the site, I have decided to add some news item or tidbit of thought fairly frequently. This will not have the same function as the What's New Page, where I inform readers about updates to this site. Appropriate material moved from this page goes into Newsletter Shorts.Bicycling and Walking Miles for 2003This year, I have given myself the goal of riding 6,000 miles or more (120 miles per week) and walking 600 miles (12 miles per week). I also decided to post my month results here to encourage others to bicycle and walk a lot of miles as well, as doing so is very good the health.My results for the first three months are:January, 440 miles bicycling, 58.5 miles walking.February, 475 miles bicycling, 64.5 miles walking.March, 609 miles bicycling, 69 miles walking.April, 699 miles bicycling, 51 miles walking.May, 1,813 miles bicycling, walking miles unknown.June, 1,593 miles bicycling, walking miles unknown.Maximum distance in one day bicycling: 105 miles, July 26.Maximum distance in one day walking, 13 miles, June 27.New Bicycling Advocacy Newslist EstablishedI felt that there was a need for a new Bicycling Advocacy Newslist, so I started one. The purpose is to discuss methods of promoting bicycle use and also to discuss the problems that discourage new cyclists. It's open to everyone, and our strongest policy is to be respectful of each other. Follow the above link if you are interested.

Directories

The Cyclist Lifestyle It's a proven fact that cyclists don't put their pants on like everyone else. Read about the motives of a cyclist, the clothing and behavior of cyclists, old bikes, and a cyclist's attitude towards bike equipment.

Bike Commuting and Transportation Why get stuck in traffic on your way to work and the gym, when you can getyour exercise, save a bunch of money, help save the world, and have a goodtime instead?

Bicycle Camping and Touring Bicycle touring is a great low-cost vacation and a wonderful adventure. Why suffer the boredom of a car trip when you can be a Don Quixote instead? Information on touring and bicycle camping, detailed first-hand accounts of touring trips in the US with great photos, and links to travelogues of other long-distance bike trips here and all around the world.

Cycling Health and Fitness Bicycling provides health benefits that can prolong your life. Learn about healthy behavior, some of the changes your body will go through, and how to cope with the physical problems that cycling causes.

Bicycling Advocacy Strong pressures have always existed to get bicycles off of the roads. Learn why cyclists have a right to use the roads and why they should be encouraged to do so.

Bicycle Traffic Safety Although cyclists have the right to use the roadway, not all bike riders understand how to ride in traffic. Learn how to ride more safely and more responsibly.

Basic Skills for Cyclists Before a cyclist can be free to bicycle anywhere, it is necessary to understand the basics of bicycle repair, bike handling, and traffic maneuvering. A guide to the little techniques.

Cycling Humor and Tales Bicyclists shouldn't take themselves seriously all the time. Here are some wacky stories, spoofs, and other displays of humor.
