I just read that May is "National Bike Month" here in the U.S. I don't know the details about who declares such things, but it sounds like a good idea to me. I have an old Raleigh 3-speed bike my son has been promising to restore for me, and I'll use this as a way to push him forward with the effort.
Throughout high school and much of my college career, I went almost everywhere on a bicycle. I still love to get on one when I can and get outside to enjoy a good bike ride. Even with urban traffic to contend with, bicycling -- done safely, of course -- offers a joy non-bike riders just can't appreciate.
So here are two bicycling sites with some good deals for you. The first site, an excellent outdoor gear and clothing company, is BackCountry.com. Backcountry.com is a leading online supplier of every type of outdoor gear, and they just recently added a great section on their website loaded with bike gear, bike parts, and bike accessories of all sorts.
The second site is Bikes and Biking, a site that uses sophisticated Internet search software to conveniently organize the latest and greatest real-time, "live" eBay auction listings on bicycles, bike frames, bike parts, bike clothing, and just about everything you would want related to bikes and bicycling. Take a good look around.
Enjoy National Bike Month!

Birds singing, skies clearing — spring means time to enjoy outdoor hammocks

I remember when my kids were young that we had a really nice hammock that we kept tied between a tree and the corner of an old storage shed in our backyard. We really learned to enjoy outdoor hammocks with that old thing. (It was a cheapy hammock and eventually rotted and disappeared wherever it is that old hammocks go to die.)
Here's a really useful site for you to buy and enjoy outdoor hammocks. Starting with the earliest days of spring and going right up through autumn's blustery winds, there's nothing quite as fun as stretching out to enjoy outdoor hammocks in your yard.
The beauty of owning really good hammocks are their versatility. You can find them in sizes to fit one lazy individual, or in large sizes for group "hammock parties" and fun. Tumble around a good hammock with your kids. Find one durable enough to accommodate you and your pets -- or, even you, your pets, and your kids can enjoy outdoor hammocks.
And when winter comes or weather threatens -- take your hammock fun INSIDE!
