Your Questions About Dog Training Boulder

Donna asks…

Any suggestions for a unique eagle project?

I’m looking for an eagle project, and i want it to be away from the usual. I don’t want it to be planting a flower garden, painting a wall, building a fence, etc. Does anybody have any ideas that are unique? Please share your experiences of eagle projects you’ve participated in or have seen or observed. Thank you.

Chris asks…

What are the reasons why people ride bicycles?

What are the reasons why people ride bicycles?

admin answers:

1. Riding a bike is liberating in that I-still-feel-like-a-kid sort of way, and I’m not trapped in a metal/glass/infernal combustion coffin looking at the world through wide-screen television eyes. And parking is always free on a bike. And my bike starts every morning, even in cold weather.

–Hurl Everstone of Minneapolis is the publisher of Cars R Coffins, a Web site devoted to bicycle-punkrock-action.

2. Without cycling, I’d die consuming the quantities of beer that I do. I also ride for the scenery. And what other opportunity do I have for stuffing 250 pounds into too-small Lycra bib shorts?

–Matt Wiebe, a Santa Fe resident, University of New Mexico professor and technical editor of Bicycle Retailer and Industry News

3. I ride because it gives me an excuse for shaving my legs. If it weren’t for the six bikes in the garage, I’d be forever trying to explain why I look like a bearded lady on the lam from a carnival sideshow who got her head shaved in the drunk tank after flunking a cootie inspection. Plus when I’m stuck for something obnoxious to write or draw, a quick ride helps jar the nickel loose and set the music to playing. That, and the drugs.

–Patrick O’Grady, a professional rumormonger living in Colorado who vents periodically on this site and at www.maddogmedia.com.

4. While pedaling over hill and dale, people usually notice and often talk to me. Because of this I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly. Like a Southern Baptist song, the good has overcome. This has been the best reason of all for bicycling. I’m approachable when on a bike. It’s fun talking to kids and strangers about a sport and way of life that I love. Humanity awakens at the sight of a two-wheeled traveler.

–Loretta Esparza is a seven-year veteran of Salsa Cycles and a dog-lovin’ barista in California.

5. To coalesce the burning pure horrific rage as you face knuckleheads, debutantes and four-wheeled freaks in traffic.

–Bob Roll calls himself “a man barely alive.” A veteran of the 7-Eleven team, the first U.S. Pro squad to tackle the Tour de France, he is the author of several books and a cycling commentator on the Outdoor Life Network.

6. Your ass. As in, if you ride a bike your butt ends up looking fairly tight — like two VW Beetles parking.

–Joe Lindsey of Boulder, Colorado, has been riding and racing bikes for 15 years, and covering the sport for the past six for cycling magazines. He’s covered the Tour de France, the Olympics and numerous World Cups and world championships. He enjoys photography, telemark skiing and Britney Spears videos with the sound turned off.

7. Riding a bike has always been a major symbol of independence and freedom. But the real reasons I go out and pound the pedals are sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll.
Sex: As the gap to geezerhood closes, stayin’ in shape for my favorite activity becomes even more important.
Drugs: A long time ago I realized that maintaining my awesome boy-toy bod while enjoying my modest beer habit was going to require a lot more exercise than it did in my studly youth.
Rock ‘n roll: While my guitar skills have never surpassed the mediocre stage, the stuff I play in my head when I ride is awesome. Just give me the steady rhythm of my fixed gear, some open road and turn it to 11, Jimi, ’cuz today we’re gonna rock!

–Ross Shafer lives with his wife, Mari, on the Rockin’ Bar L ranch in Petaluma, California. He is the founder and former owner of Salsa Cycles and owns and operates Six-Nine Design, which provides product design, prototyping, fabrication and tool design services.

8. Some people train so they can race; I race so I can train, so the all-important workout doesn’t get shoved to the back burner so easily. Nothing inspires like knowing you’re going to get your butt kicked in the next race if you don’t train. The fact that I get my butt kicked anyway is completely beside the point.

–Jef Mallett, a former bike racer and current triathlete and cartoonist. His strip, “Frazz,” appears in 150 newspapers across America.

9. My wife, Natasha, thinks cycling is great way to spend time as a family while burning a few calories. For her, the family ride is quality time. Then again, she does not have the trailer with 50 or so stuffed animals and the 2-year-old singing “Old McDonald” attached to her bike as we climb what must be Mont Ventoux. Hmm … Now that I think about it, cycling is the best way to burn a bazillion calories and hang with the family.

–John Kibodeaux, a 16-year veteran of bicycle retail, owns High Desert Bicycles in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, and also works full time for his daughter, Marguerite. He has a B.A. From St. John’s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and a Ph.D. In dirty diapers, Sesame Street and anything Disney.

10. I live and breathe bike transportation. Does that make me a granola-crunching, world-saving utopian? Actually, my riding has a lot to do with what’s good for me. Riding makes me healthy. It saves me time.

Susan asks…

Looking for the name of this childrens train video?

All I can remember from this video from my childhood was, it was, there was a red steam engine, white puppy dog with brown spots, and a little tug boat that rides with the train in a bathtub. I remember one scene where they were trying to catch a big boulder in the little tugboats bathtub which they did and the train ended up becoming a runaway.
