I received a note from Keith Burnage from Cadence Revolution asking that I share this with you.
Hi John,
I thought you might be interested in the following and if possible help to spread the word to promote this song about Rob Wein.
Rob is one of the Kanata 5, one of five cyclists involved in a terrible accident when they were hit from behind by a distracted driver.
Of the five, Rob was hurt the worst, and he will never recover to the where he was before the incident, and will always suffer from double vision, short term memory loss.
His family and friend were told that he would never leave his hospital bed. So sure were the doctors of this, that they didn't fully fix and repair his damaged legs when he was brought into the hospital.
With the help, love and support of his partner, family and friends he proved them wrong. When he was told he would never be able to stand he got a personal trainer who works with him every week, and now he is preparing and training for the Ottawa Race weekend 5km walking event.
Rob was interviewed by CBC Radio and with a pair of musicians a song was written about his struggles. That song ‘Nobody Knows‘ is out on iTunes and all funds raised are being directed to the Share The Road organization
I am hoping that you can spread word about this song and encourage other to purchase it for a worthy cause, there is also a video of the song up on YouTube if you would like to post on your site.
Sure Keith, happy to help 🙂
Realizing that today is normally a free track day, I'm asking that everyone contribute $0.99 by purchasing the song.

Doctoral student Micah Zuhl joins me to discuss an article he co-wrote with Dr. Len Kravitz entitled HIIT vs. Continuous Endurance Training: Battle of the Aerobic TitansÂ
It's not available to the public but IDEA members can read the article here.
I had initially invited Dr Kravitz on the show, but he graciously offered the opportunity to Micah 🙂
Listen as Micah explains what he sees as the best use of our students time, in class. If you have questions for Micah you can leave them as a comment below or contact him directly zuhl09@unm.edu
Still loving our Free Motion bikes and experimenting with different profiles to familiarize our riders with power and what they can do with it. Flat/climb/flat/climb was the theme this week and in keeping with that, here is a great 4:00, 64 rpm climb from D.J. Armin VanBuuren’s Mirage CD, featuring Adam Young (from Owl City- a Minnesota boy 🙂
For our 200th episode I wanted someone very special! Meet my friend Dr. Shannon Subramaniam who is someone you can't wait to see again. I asked Dr. Shannon to be my guest to discuss what Amy and I saw as the four traits that made us so excited to see her over and over again.
The four keys to; be the Instructor your students can't wait to see again:
Can an Indoor or Outdoor Cyclist measure their power using only Heart Rate?
I personally find it hard to believe, and yet CycleOps says their new PowerCal will do exactly that. Now if I had seen this advertised on some late night infomercial I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but CycleOps is one of the leaders in Power measurement for both Indoor and Outdoor Cyclists… so it must work – right?
I contacted Angie Sturtevant from CycleOps and she has connected me with their product specialist. Maybe I can get him on the Podcast to explain how this works.
In the mean time here is a short video from CycleOps discussing the PowerCal.
