From AccuWeather.com Chief Long Range Forecaster Joe Bastardi may have bad news.
I'm forecasting full classes till March
While cold weather is of course a part of winter, the persistent nature of colder-than-normal conditions and a lack of brief warm spells people can typically look forward to during midwinter have been unusual this season. Temperatures since Dec. 1, 2010 have averaged below normal from Boston and New York City to Chicago, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Atlanta and even Miami.

When ICI/PRO member Kerri Fleisher showed me this video of her Kids Cycle class it was hard not to think “she may be on to something here…” I'm sure some will question the safety of small people on big bikes and I asked her about it. Kerri responded with …
Safety is number one with me!! Â (Fun is number two!). Â I have my own kid in there! Â I would NEVER put a child on a bike unless I was 100% sure they were safe, and if I sense they are getting tired and losing form, I make them take a break. I teach 100% off the bike so I can give my undivided attention to the kids!
Amy and I would have jumped at the chance to have our two girls participate in this class, when they were that age. It's sad that we have blocked kids from enjoying this form of exercise.
So what would happen if there were Kid Sized Indoor Cycles? That fit them properly … With some fun music, like Kerri uses … And fun programing?
Watch the video and post a comment about how you could make this happen in your club or studio if you had the proper equipment.
I sold products like this to utilities and contractors
Today marks my entrance to the ranks of the self-employed. I haven't talked about it much, but like many Indoor Cycling Instructors I had a day job. Mine for the past 20+ years was managing a sales territory, for a distributor of underground construction equipment, as a commissioned sales rep. With the economy showing no real signs of recovering and businesses still not having the confidence to invest in capital equipment, the owner of the company and I decided to part ways (although there wasn't much to part from).
Amy and I want to thank all our supporting ICI/PRO members for helping us soften the transition to working for myself 🙂
OK. NPR does this… so why can't I?

Amy (the Senior Group Fitness Instructor) was on her way home Friday when the person behind her missed her cueing (brake lights) and hit her at speed. She was pretty beat up and after a few hours getting checked out at the ER she looks to be OK. My big takeaway from all of this is how precious our friends and family are and how much I love my wife.
