Cycling and the immune system!

One of the problems I have suffered whilst cycling last winter is catching a cold 1-2 days after an intensive cycle training session some times turning into a chest infection, it has been reported that after any stressful l training session the body immune system lowers. Just like a car engine your body is the engine whist out on you bike and if you are kicking the hell out of it and not toping up with what it needs it stands to reason that it will break down and I suppose breathing frozen air into your lungs on the cold winter mornings does not help either. I have done some research on this on the net but there seem to be varied conclusion as to the level of effect intensive training will cause on ones immune system but all do agree that it will lower the immune system. Never the less I have grabbed some information from Cycling performance tips which may be of some interest.

I?m a cyclist?so do I have to vote #CAV4SPOTY?

This year’s shortlist for the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year award has caused Jeremy Clarkson levels of controversy for not including deserving female champions like Chrissie Wellington and Sarah Stevenson, but at least cyclists will all be voting for Mark Cavendish?That seems to be the theory anyway. Voting for SPOTY takes place on December [...]

Actors and actresses ride bicycles, too

When the Hollywood glitterati take their walk down the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards on Sunday, imagine that they've arrived by bicycle.

It's doubtful they did. I think the limousine is still the transport of choice to such events.

But if publicity photos from Hollywood are any indication, the stars do enjoy taking an occasional spin on two wheels.

Philadelphia film critic Steven Rea, an avid bicyclists himself, has been providing these archived photos at his Rides a Bike blog ...
