Found this on Bike Snob

I thought this was naff at first but then I realised the skill was amazing it was what they were wearing was naff.

Critical Mass - Ride a bike

This is a great movement taking back the streets. Notice the fat motorists.

Weekly training 10Aug- 16Aug

Worked 3 days in Teresa's class. I spent the time teaching them how to shoot videos finishing of what Teresa had planned with them. With that and school production rehearsals I had a blast. Just how school could be if it didn't have all the boring bits. They are also training for the annual cross country race. I ran with them on Tuesday 7laps around the school with the faster boys. It had one hill done 7 times (only 2.5 miles)combined with my lack of hills in training, done faster than usual in different runnig shoes = slightly sore legs next day. To make things worse I ran after school Thursday while waiting for Emily who as sports, the school is on top of a steep hill so of course I went down the hill ran for 40min and then overdid back up the hill. I could hardly walk for 5 days...must start doing my hillier courses in training.

I was sick

I came down with a cold or something. It was a convenient time because I was planning to have extra time off or maybe it was because I was feeling tired that mad me sick/feelin yucky. Easing my way back into training. Swimming is going really well. I've been concentrating on the pull the sweep out and maintaing the water pressure on the pull, But because I swim with the balls and ankle band it seems every movement is magnified. I have really started to feel the 'feel for the water' on my forearms I assume this is because of the early vertical forearm which is a product of a high elbow. I am blown away by the sensations I'm feeling.
