We shouldn’t feel excessive admiration for pro racers who log 600-mile weeks. They have plenty of time to ride and recover—that’s their job. The real heroes are people like you, who find time to ride while still having a life away from the bike.
Full-time work, family commitments and cycling can be efficiently interwoven into your busy day. All it takes to schedule everything into 24 hours is maximum use of time-budgeting techniques.
Here’s where to look for time slots that can accommodate your love for riding:
Commuting
Time to Cycling by Bike BaliRiding your bike to work or school and back may be the best way to create time cycling time.
When you commute by bike, time normally spent sitting in a car is used productively as part of the training day. An eight-mile ride to work or school takes about 30 minutes each way. Even if you do no other riding, that’s still an hour of cycling each weekday. The trip home can be lengthened as much as time, daylight and energy allow.
Another benefit is arriving at your job refreshed and alert. It may be tough to get up earlier for the ride in, but the physical and mental lift of exercise will carry you through that 10 a.m. letdown that your sedentary colleagues experience. Then you ride home, clearing cobwebs and blowing away job-related frustrations. You’re refreshed and ready for evening responsibilities or family fun.

Commuting Logistics

*      Use a small backpack to carry clothes, lunch and papers. A waist strap helps eliminate swaying and bouncing as you ride.

*      Keep a pair of shoes at work so you don’t have their weight and sharp edges in the pack. Take the week’s clothes to work on Monday morning and shuttle them home Friday afternoon, or whatever arrangement fits your situation.

*      Clean up in the restroom with a lightly soaped washcloth. Meanwhile, get coworkers interested in commuting and lobby your boss to install a shower.

*      Dress in your office if it has a door. If not, use the restroom or a storage room.

*      Play on the way home. Scout out a longer route and ride for an hour or more as time and commitments allow. Do intervals, time trials, or hit the hills hard to get a great workout while you’re homeward bound.

If commuting simply won't work for you, here are two popular options:
Early Bird Special

Consider an early-morning workout. By the middle of March it’s usually light enough to get in a ride before work. At dawn there are few cars on the road and the day is brightening every minute.

Getting up in the pre-dawn hour may be the ultimate test of whether you really want to ride. Roll out of bed the minute the alarm rings and don’t think about anything. The longer you lie there moaning about how early it is, the harder it is to extricate yourself from the sheets.

Sleep loss is the biggest risk. Make up the deficit with an earlier bedtime because it’s vital to get enough rest. Lack of sleep can lead to deep fatigue and poor performance in everything you do.
Evening Rides

If your schedule prohibits riding most of the day, try from 9 to 10 or 10:30 p.m. For most people, the kids are in bed, the chores around the house complete, and you’re probably wasting time watching TV.

To make this work, eat a moderate dinner at 6 or 7 p.m., allowing the food to digest by riding time. As an additional benefit this provides motivation not to overeat.

Riding in the dark used to be dangerous because lights were poor. You couldn’t see road hazards clearly, and motorists couldn’t see you. Modern lighting systems make night riding safer, but it’s still smart to use lighted parks or suburban streets if they’re available. By Fred Matheny for www.RoadBikeRider.com

Mountain Riding Bike Tour
Choosing a Mountain Bike Holiday to Match Fitness Level

© Helen Smeaton
Jun 14, 2008
Mountain Bike Holiday , Helen Smeaton
Mountain bike holidays can be tough or easy. Find the right bike tour by matching fitness and skills to the trip gradings and by training appropriately beforehand.

With thousands of off-road cycling trips of varying difficulty available across the world, choosing a mountain bike holiday can be difficult. Understanding the trip grading and fitness requirements together with appropriate training for an activity break will maximise enjoyment of the trip.
Mountain Bike Holiday Trip Gradings

Adventure holiday companies commonly use a grading system to indicate trip difficulty and fitness or experience levels required. A good example is provided by Exodus, a leading provider of small group cycling holidays.
A Grade/Easy

Expect largely flat terrain on smooth fire roads or asphalt. Some hill work may be required but any ascents will be short. Suitable for people who enjoy gentle exercise and those wanting a leisurely, more scenic cycling holiday.
B Grade/Moderate

Trips requiring a slightly higher level of fitness, more suited to those who enjoy the odd weekend riding on cross country trails. Reasonable fitness is advisable.
C Grade/ Challenging

Aimed at regular mountain bikers who ride most weekends and have a good level of fitness. Such trips will have some demanding ascents and descents and will sometimes involve riding on technical rocky trails though these can be optional if you choose to walk!

Read more: http://bicycling.suite101.com/article.cfm/cycling_holidays#ixzz0OaigQtLw

D Grade/Strenuous

The highest difficulty level for people experienced at riding on a variety of trails with tough climbs and descents that will push cycling skills to the maximum. A high degree of fitness and bike proficiency is required and appropriate preparation should be made before the trip.

Whilst gradings provide a good benchmark, no grading can fully describe the exact difficulty level of a trip. If in doubt, choose a holiday with a lower grade or you may find terrain and/or gradients that are unsuitable. Although a support vehicle is often available to carry clients who struggle with sections of the trail, many people do not enjoy having to give up if the going gets too tough.
Training for a Mountain Bike Holiday

Any mountain bike holiday requires a basic level of fitness as even the easiest of trips requires several hours of exercise per day. Your mountain bike holiday will be made more enjoyable through some basic preparation:

* Ensure you take regular exercise several times per week prior to the trip to build up stamina.
* Increase the frequency of any cycle training especially if you are an occasional cyclist. Practice cycling for two days back to back even if only for a few hours. This will help prevent saddle soreness when cycling for several days in a row.
* Include some hill work in the cycle training programme. Repeating the same hill section over several weeks will soon enable you to tackle hills with ease.
* Try to do some alternative forms of exercise like weight training and stretching to develop all round fitness and upper body strength essential for a strong biker.
* If embarking on a strenuous or challenging mountain bike holiday, it may be advisable to start a training programme around three months prior to the trip. Leading cycling and fitness expert Hannah Reynolds offers good examples of training plans to suit all levels of mountain bike holidays at the Cycle People.

Choosing the right mountain bike holiday by matching your fitness and experience to the appropriate trip grading, together with some pre-trip training, will ensure you get the most out of an off-road cycling holiday.

Proclamation of Indonesian Independence
The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence (Indonesian: Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia, or simply Proklamasi) was officially made at 10.00 a.m. sharp on Friday, August 17, 1945. The declaration marked the start of the diplomatic and armed-resistance of the Indonesian National Revolution, fighting against the forces of the Netherlands until the latter officially acknowledged Indonesia's independence in 1949. In 2005, the Netherlands declared that they had decided to accept 17 August 1945 as Indonesia's independence date[1]
Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, who were appointed President and Vice-president, respectively, were the documents signatories.
Indonesia islands
The Declaration Event
The draft was prepared only a few hours earlier, on the night of August 16, by Sukarno, Hatta, and Soebardjo, at Rear-Admiral Maeda (Minoru) Tadashi's house, Miyako-Doori 1, Jakarta (now the "Museum of the Declaration of Independence", JL. Imam Bonjol I, Jakarta). The original Indonesian Declaration of Independence was typed by Sayuti Melik. Maeda himself was sleeping in his room upstairs. He was agreeable to the idea of Indonesia's independence, and had lent his house for the drafting of the declaration. Marshal Terauchi, the highest-ranking Japanese leader in South East Asia and son of Prime Minister Terauchi Masatake, was however against Indonesia's independence, scheduled for August 24.

garuda pancasilaWhile the formal preparation of the declaration, and the official independence itself for that matter, had been carefully planned a few months earlier, the actual declaration date was brought forward almost inadvertently as a consequence of the Japanese unconditional surrender to the Allies on August 15 following the Nagasaki atomic bombing. The historic event was triggered by a plot, led by a few more radical youth activists such as Adam Malik and Chairul Saleh, that put pressure on Soekarno and Hatta to proclaim independence immediately. The declaration was to be signed by the 27 members of the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI) symbolically representing the new nation's diversity. The particular act was apparently inspired by a similar spirit of the United States Declaration of Independence. However, the idea was heavily turned down by the radical activists mentioned earlier, arguing that the committee was too closely associated with then soon to be defunct Japanese occupation rule, thus creating a potential credibility issue. Instead, the radical activists demanded that the signatures of six of them were to be put on the document. All party involved in the historical moment finally agreed on a compromise solution which only included Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta as the co-signers 'in the name of the nation of Indonesia'

proklamasiSoekarno had initially wanted the declaration to be read at Ikada Plain, the large open field in the centre of Jakarta, but due to unfounded widespread apprehension over the possibility of Japanese sabotage, the venue was changed to Soekarno's house at Pegangsaan Timur 56. In fact there was no concrete evidence for the growing suspicions, as the Japanese had already surrendered to the Allies, and the Japanese high command in Indonesia had given their permission for the nation's independence. The declaration of independence passed without a hitch.

The Aftermath
The event also triggered several insurgencies and atrocities in some local areas such as Westerling's Celebes Massacre in 1946, the East Sumatra Social Revolution in 1946, and Laskar Hitam. They were carried out by both Dutch-loyalists and anti Dutch-loyalists fighting against each other, as well as by other local militias that simply took advantage of the seemingly uncertain situation following the proclamation.

Draft
In Indonesian

PROKLAMASI

Kami, bangsa Indonesia, dengan ini menyatakan kemerdekaan Indonesia.

Hal-hal yang mengenai pemindahan kekuasaan,d.l.l., diselenggarakan dengan cara saksama dan dalam tempoh yang sesingkat-singkatnya

Djakarta (Jakarta), 17-8-0'5
Wakil-Wakil Bangsa Indonesia

Draft amendments
Three amendments were made to the draft, as follows:

* "tempoh": changed to "tempo", both meaning "time period".
* 17-8-45: changed to "hari 17, boelan 8, tahoen 05" ("day 17, month 8, year 05" of the Japanese sumera calendar); the number "05" is the short form for 2605.
* "Wakil-Wakil Bangsa Indonesia" (Representatives of the people of Indonesian nation): changed to "Atas nama bangsa Indonesia" ("in the name of the nation of Indonesia").

Final text
In Indonesian

English translation
An English translation published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as of October 1948 included the entire speech as read by Sukarno. It incorporated remarks made immediately prior to and after the actual proclamation. George McTurnan Kahin, a historian on Indonesia, believed that they were omitted from publication in Indonesia either due to Japanese control of media outlets or fear of provoking a harsh Japanese response.[4]

PROCLAMATION

WE THE PEOPLE OF INDONESIA HEREBY DECLARE THE INDEPENDENCE OF
INDONESIA. MATTERS WHICH CONCERN THE TRANSFER OF POWER AND
OTHER THINGS WILL BE EXECUTED BY CAREFUL MEANS AND IN THE
SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME.

DJAKARTA, 17 AUGUST 1945

IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE OF INDONESIA
SOEKARNO—HATTA

Cycling and Recreation
Most families enjoy cycling together for recreational purposes because it is very relaxing and gives them a good chance to become closer. In the past, families only allowed children to ride their bikes in their own neighborhood but the areas where children ride has expanded far from home. The children had very few choices over where they could ride to enjoy nature because the streets were often paved in asphalt and were deep within the city limits.

recreation in Bali CyclingThe chance to go cycling in the woods was very limited because the homes that children who could afford bicycles were often located in the middle of suburbia and construction crews had cut most of the trees down when they built the neighborhoods. Families turned to public recreation areas to give their children a chance to enjoy fresh air and sunshine and the opportunity to spend a little time together.

Bike paths are plentiful throughout all national parks, and children only have to consider what type of biking that they want to do. They can go cycling on nature paths if they have a bicycle equipped with tires that are suitable for all terrains, and some are lucky enough to get a mountain bike as a gift from family or friends. Boys would generally prefer to own a mountain bike because their recreational interests lean more toward doing stunts and driving bikes through dirt than riding one on an asphalt surface that could do serious damage to their body if they fell off.

Little girls loved riding along bike paths that were far from busy traffic areas because that is where they felt the safest. The bicycles that they would bring with them to these parks would be one that only one person could ride, but they might bring along a tricycle if they had a small sister that wanted to ride with them.

When families visited a State Park, they could all enjoy riding various types of bikes for recreational purposes and parents would know that the children were getting good exercise while having a good time too. Some of the children might race against each other in parking lots, or they could take their cycling to the streets where they could pedal for hours without any obstacles getting in their way. There were many people who practiced their cycling team challenges at the park, and children loved to sit and watch them race.

Most children were satisfied that they were outdoors and rarely came when called the first time because they would not be ready to inside. When using a bicycle for recreation purposes, most children would find things to put in the spokes just so they could hear the puttering sounds as the pieces of cardboard went round and round. Cycling is still fun for these children and they probably will take their own children biking one day. Cycling in state parks will be around for a long time to come and most children know this and have the presence of mind and patience to wait for the next opportunity.

Cycling and Human Power

The bicycle is a tremendously efficient means of transportation. In fact cycling is more efficient than any other method of travel--including walking! The one billion bicycles in the world are a testament to its effectiveness. The engine for this efficient mode of transport is the human body. Because bodies are fueled by food, diet plays an important role in how the body performs. Different muscle groups and types provide the power. Genetic inheritance, intensive training, and a competitive drive help top athletes push the boundaries of endurance and speed on the bicycle.

How Far Do You Want To Go?

cyclingIt takes less energy to bicycle one mile than it takes to walk a mile. In fact, a bicycle can be up to 5 times more efficient than walking. If we compare the amount of calories burned in bicycling to the number of calories an automobile burns, the difference is astounding. One hundred calories can power a cyclist for three miles, but it would only power a car 280 feet (85 meters)!

Bike Culture

In the United States many people still consider cycling only a recreation or professional sport. But millions of Americans have found that cycling is a great way to get work or get around town. Some cyclists are banding together and forming organizations and events advocating issues important to cyclists.

The bicycle has had a great impact on popular culture as well. In fashion, the bicycle was largely responsible for changing women's clothing in the late 1800s. Restrictive corsets and long dresses made way for bloomers and later trousers.
In the art world, the bicycle has made its way into painting and sculpture. Most notably in Marcel Duchamp's Roue de Bicyclette or Bicycle Wheel which is considered the first 'readymade' sculpture.

Nieuwenkamp, a Dutch artist who was the first person to bring a bicycle to the island in 1904. A complete description of a man riding a bicycle with flower petals for wheels was carved on the wall of Pura _ Temple Maduwe _ Karang.

What else….

Cycling in BaliOur cycling _ adventure team is developing for any tour in Bali with more best partner selections too. Cycling is an interesting activity weather for solo adventurer or big group adventurers. Cycling in Bali  takes a wonderful two, three or even more than four hour downhill  _ ride through villages and rice fields. Typically Kintamani  cycling tour starts with a walk through a spice plantation and morning coffee, then on to Kintamini for breakfast overlooking the lake at Mount Batur. The cycling tour will be concluded with a unique Balinese meal at a traditional Balinese compound or house.

When the cycling trip passes one village to the other Balinese villages, we will find the real life of the villagers. Some Balinese farmers do their activities on rice fields or sometimes walk on the road with something on their shoulder or something on the head _ carrying a basket of grass  on her head _ for Balinese woman. Local children approach us wave their hands, call out and are eager to slap hands as they are cheer us on the road. Cycling in Bali just completely observe many original Bali life and unique nature. It is about nature when it is combined with Balinese people  treat their environment in harmonious way. The cycling trip will give us direct explanation along the way for the rice growing in Bali with their well known irrigation system _ Subak, the village temple and Balinese meeting hall. Frequently stops will be more chances to get  more pictures to shoot. Half of the journey passed, we take a rest for refreshments and a detailed discussion for clear description of village life.

Then cycling tour takes the next road,  a number of guides are always riding  with us and a van always near by to transport anyone unable to ride the full distance.
