Ride for Heart

Take a bike ride, but only when the air is clean!





This is your blogger and some of the other twelve thousand cyclists riding south on the Don Valley Parkway. We just passed the halfway point on a 50KM charity bike ride.

Cycling is normally an activity that keeps you fit and your heart healthy. However, here in the T-Dot we have no shortage of bad air days. On days when the smog mixes with humidity it's wiser to leave the bike at home and avoid any strenuous exercise which requires you drawing vasts amounts of air into your lungs. Actually, it's best to avoid the outdoors at all on those days.
