YIKES! IT'S A BIKE?

Check out this website.

Cervelo is trying to show us how low they can go.

Well this fellow from New Zealand is showing us how small and compact we can go and you don't even have to pedal.

I don't think it will replace my Cannondale Supersix, but if your commute to work is less than 10 km go for it

Thanks to my friend Mike for passing this along.

FOLLOW YOUR PASSION

Well I can finally reveal the real reason I was in Saratoga Springs N.Y. in January. I was taking the Certification course at the Serotta International Cycling Institute to become a Certified Professional Bike Fitting Specialist, and now that I have passed the exam (with flying colours I might add , 100%.) and sent all the fit summaries down to New York for scrutiny, I can finally say that I am now a Certified SICI Bike Fitting Professional, and that's exactly what it says on my certificate. I have been interested in bike fitting for years and have read just about every article I could in an attempt to accommodate the anatomical challenges of my own body.

I would like to thank all the people who donated their bodies and bikes, while I completed the practical section of my certification.

Hey, By the way. Why couldn't I ever get the type of marks in University that I did on this course.

Hence the title of this post. If you follow your passion ANYTHING IS ACHIEVABLE.

If I can help you in any way give me a call.

P.S.

In case you were wondering about the pictures from the Serotta factory tour, I will be adding them in the next few days.
