What I've found is that the roadracing handlebars are probably the best- you can put your hands in 3 different positions, and hunch down against a headwind. A cycle computer is worth it's weight in gold too- they are quite cheap now. And its hard to keep up the enthusiasm if you are the only one riding- joining a club or finding someone to ride with is good if you can. My garage is full of bikes (9 of them to be exact) but I could ride for an hour, and still not get away from Redneckville, Australia, so I always drive instead.

A Thread for Cyclists - Where Do you Ride?
by cofty ini took up cycing a couple of months ago just to get fitter and lose a bit of excess weight.. i bought a second-hand hybrid bike (weighs only slightly less than a truck) and fitted road tyres.
four or five times a week i will go for a ride after work for an hour or so.
i am fortunate enough to live in rural north england surrounded by limitless quiet roads.

the historical evidence that provides an explination and timeline for how the modern religious doctrine's and dogma developed over time.. .

Iraq Descends Into Religious Civil War
by cofty inhalf a million refugees are on the move ahead of sunni jihadists in northern iraq.. the speed of the advance is startling.
the iraqi army seems to be impotent.
the government's attempt to declare a state of emergency had to be abandoned when insufficient mps turned up to vote.. the insurgents are just 60 miles from baghdad this evening.

Constant war in the Middle East is beneficial for the West- they sell us oil, and we save their asses by selling them guns, bombs & tanks. It's good business. Not so much fun for the people who actually live there though...

Birthday celebration/participation
by Zana inmy wife is considering to let our kids participate, maybe even celebrate their own birthdays.
she says what can be so bad about just giving a little kid (who doesn't yet understand the bible) a day full of joy and happiness?
she herself actually delayed her own baptism as a teenager in order to celebrate one more birthday.

Just do it, lol. The JWs use Gen. 40:20-22 & Matt. 14:6-10 to justify being birthday Nazis; but just hit them with Romans 14:5.
As long as no-one is beheaded you are all good...

What does it mean? LOL. What does anything mean? Why are we here? Is this life all there is?
It means the Watchtower will keep printing crap until everyone who remembers it dies off, and then they will find some more crap to print, to keep the ordinary JWs amused while they waste their lives in meaningless routine.

What's the difference between exJWs who FLOURISH and those that don't?
by Fernando inquite a few here on jwn seem to have grown and developed in leaps and bounds, sometimes beyond their wildest dreams.. others seem to still be struggling.. what do you think makes it possible to flourish?.
the degree to which our mind has been liberated from watchtower thinking?.
if so, this seems to happen in many different ways, so what is the secret?.

There certainly are a lot of external factors that can drag people down- such as family, employment etc. For me it was the fact that I was completely washed- up: I had to throw away everything I believed and start again- working through what was true & what wasn't, and whether my parents had led me astray as well- so it took humility and a willingness to learn- which I think is what is necessary. And sometimes, too I think just reason & rationality isn't enough- to have someone you really trust say 'This is BS- give it up!' can be the key to making a breakthrough to something better. LOL, that's my two cents, anyway.

So, then, what should we do with regard to the Internet? Shun it altogether? That may be necessary in some cases. The Internet junkie mentioned earlier did that in order to overcome years of addiction. On the other hand, using the Internet can benefit us, provided we let ‘thinking ability keep guard over us and discernment safeguard us.’—Prov. 2:10, 11.

For young people there is a 'need to breed'- the desire to pass on the genes to a next generation in a misguided desire for a form of immortality- that makes members of the opposite sex seem attractive. But beyond that, there really isn't much physical difference between men & women- especially as they get older.
