Wonderful, inspiring story

It's Joan here. Hard to believe it’s September already, isn’t it? It’s been a great summer, and I hope you all got a lot of riding in. A great story was sent to me recently. I absolutely love it, and want to share it with you.

Recently, in a large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tanned woman appeared in the window of a gym.

It said: "THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?"

A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.

To Whom It May Concern:

Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins, stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Barren Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world..

Mermaids don't exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don't have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them, not to mention how could they have sex? Therefore they don't have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?

The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.

P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a coffee with my friends. With time we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, "Good gosh, look how smart I am!"

Have a great ride TODAY!

more on electric bikes

I'm on an electric bike role, and I want to tell you about the brand we carry.

IZip electric bikes vary in the amounts of weight and height they are designed to support. You'll find models that can handle up to 500 lbs, but you'll want to check the specifications to make sure you select a bike that truly meets your needs. These electric bikes can also accommodate many different heights from 5’ to over 6’.

Right now we are working on making some of the iZips we sell even stronger. Tim, my bike guru (you'll meet him soon, because he's going to start blogging a bit, too) is upgrading some key stress points on the bikes so they can carry heavier weights. Can't wait--we NEED this!

The bicycle seat is comfortable and the wheels are extra large. Some available features include extra wide comfort designed saddles with back support and adjustable comfort bars with grips. You can ride along at your own pace and get a much needed boost of power for tough hills. The more you ride your electric bike the more peddle power you will be able to add.

There are different models of the IZip electric bikes that offer you different features. Some models have storage spaces for you to bring along everything you need. These storages spaces are great for quick runs to the store and library. You can store anything you pick up along the way.
