The German-American Steuben Parade is held in New York City every third Saturday in September starting at noon, and runs along Fifth Avenue from 64th Street to 86th Street. For over 50 years, the parade has celebrated the German culture with crazy costumes, floats, music, and dance.
âsomeone discovered that cycling water bottles (or bidons) contained a toxic chemical called BPAâ. I donât think anybody needed to âdiscoverâ it. If I recall correctly, BPA is deliberately added to the plastic to make it less hard and brittle, more squeezy. What was discovered is that BPA can be an estrogen mimic.
A new study from the University of British Columbia has revealed that inhaling air pollution during heavy exercise like biking could increase your risk of lung cancer, asthma, and stroke. The research showed that cycling or walking too fast actually causes people to breathe deeper, which results in more toxic air pollution coming into the lungs. According to the study, cyclists should ride between 7.5 and 12 mph, while pedestrians should walk between 1.2 and 3.7 mph, in order to inhale the least amount of pollution. Wearable fitness devices and certain apps both can help exercisers stay within those ranges.
