Merry Christmas! 2020

 

Christmas is forever,
Not for just one day.
For loving, sharing, giving,
Are not to put away.
Like bells and lights and tinsel,
in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others,
Is good you do yourself.(Norman W. Brooks)

 

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

Bicycle Shortage Nationwide

 With people steering clear from public transit and other opting for healthier commute due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic finding a bike is a bit challenging. Also because of the quarantine, sports and health clubs are closed, sports seasons were cancelled and children were kept home from school.

According to a Walmart executive, bicycle sales have been stronger because of warm weather. “We have been enjoying serving customers with their bike and bike accessory needs throughout these difficult times,” Reid Thornton, Walmart senior buying manager-wheels, said in an email. “Our customers want to get outside of the house and exercise and enjoy sunshine with the entire family.”

Adding to the problems is the closing down of Asian supply chain for more than two months which many U.S. retailers rely on. Nothing was being produced or shipped or anything. People wants outdoor activities to fight off the boredome of stay-at-home orders.

Best Filtered Face Mask For Bike Riding

 With the Coronavirus (COVID19) crisis we need to protect ourselves it's terrifying to catch that very deadly and very communicable disease. CDC recommends  wearing cloth face coverings whenever you are in public specially when social distancing measures are difficult to maintain like for example in grocery stores and pharmacies especially if you are in a place which have have a lot of community-based transmission. CDC also said that the novel coronavirus can spread between people interacting in close proximity like speaking, coughing, or sneezing even if those people are not exhibiting symptoms. So, it means you'll never know since the virus carier could have no symptoms. We need to be protected, we need to wear face mask especially if your immune system is much weaker.

If you’re familiar with face masks then you know all about Vogmasks and Cambridge masks both are really well-known manufacturers of high quality masks that can filter bacteria, viruses, pollen, and chemicals. Vogmask is the top dog in mask, it has N99 filter layer, carbon filter, and exhale valve. It can protect from 99% of airborne particles over .3 microns. Vogmask is widely used in urban areas that have high levels of air pollution. While Cambridge Mask has a 99.6% average filtration of viruses, 99.77% average filtration against bacteria and 99.7% average particulate filtration down to 0.3 microns. The company also said  that the final layer of the mask has been developed by the UK’s Ministry of Defence and filters out viruses, bacteria and gas pollution such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Ozone, Benzathine and Formaldehyde.

If you need a mask now unfortunately, you will have a hard time to buy Vogmask or Cambridge masks. Vogmask online store is closed since their factory is in South Korea and the South Korean government is banning exporting of all masks to save for Korean public health. Here's their Facebook post about it.

Bike Washing Machine? Wash Your Clothes While Exercising!

This would be fun! I would like to have one of these eco-friendly bike washing machine. It's like multi-tasking, imagine you're not only saving electricity bill you're also saving precious time. The students from Dalian Nationalities University in China who design this bike called this stationary bicycle    BiWa, or Bike Washing Machine, pretty clever huh! While you're kicking the pedals it will rotate the drum of the washing machine. It also generates electricity that helps power the monitor and charge the battery for future use. This bike will also save you a lot of money since you don't have go to the laundromat and it will also keep you fit.             








I hope they sell this soon they could also add USB slot to charge your phone while cycling.

This is really a good concept specially for those who live in cities with tight spaces. I hope they can design a machine with a decent load capacity.

 
I don't think this is in the market yet. If you can't wait you can design your own bike washing machine like this one:








They called it the SpinCycle, it is a portable washing machine that attaches to almost any bicycle. It's not as flashy and modern looking as the BiWa but it sure is very practical. It was designed by Rich Hewitt, he came up with the idea while he was in Burundi. He has a lot of laundry and wants to make it easier. The bicycle is fully usable with a SpinCycle attached, and everything needed for washing clothes can be carried in the drum. So, unlike with the BiWa which is stationary, the SpinCycle you're not just having a good exercise, you're also washing your clothes and commuting! That's three task!!! When needed the device rotates into place and the drum detaches so it can be filled. The drum is fitted with a paddle that helps the washing process.
