by Lynn Rosen
Before you start your city bike ride, plan routes with a preference for wide shoulders or bike lanes and low traffic areas. Check your ABCs - air, brakes and chain. Also be sure to check the quick release levers on your tires to make sure your bike is safe to ride. |

OFF-SEASON TRAVEL
Humor Column by Noma d'Plume
We just booked two tickets to Tucson... for August. Yes, August, the off-est of off seasons for that desert destination. The month when Tucson's average high temps hover at a balmy 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
