Birk in Fox News piece on Scary Exercise
January 6, 2012
Post Carbon Adviser Mia Birk was quoted on bicycling in this new year piece at Fox News on ‘scary exercises for women’.
From the article:
Skip the Spandex, fancy road bikes, and clip-in pedals; instead, find a bike-savvy buddy who rides in regular clothes and is willing to show you the ropes on a sturdy upright bike, says Mia Birk, author of Joyride: Pedaling Toward a Healthier Planet. Many cities have bike maps available, and some are even coded by level of difficulty, so use that to pick a route that’s low-stress, has either nice scenery or a fun destination (like an ice cream shop), and is no more than 5 miles.
