It seems to me the perfect solution. Sure commuting by bike has numerous positive effects on the environment, but even more selfishly, commuting by bike 2-3 days per week can provide most people with all the exercise they need on a regular basis - without making extra time to join a gym, signup for classes, arrange daycare, and shower with strangers.</p> <p>As a business owner, I can tell you that healthy workers are happier, more dedicated to their jobs, better with customers, and have fewer sick days. In fact, in 4 years we have been in business, we have never had an employee quit, we have never had an employee out for more than 2 consecutive days due to illness, and we have high ratings for customer satisfaction because we enjoy what we do and this shows in our interaction with our customers.</p> <p>At Dynamic, every employee gets a new bike every year. Sure this is easy for us as a bike company. But the cost is easy to justify even if it weren&#39;t our business. For many comanies who offer perks to employees, bikes are cheaper than health club memberships, cheaper than car allowances, and cheaper than many parking spots.</p><br/><br/><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bike commuting">bike commuting</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bike commuting"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bike commuting.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling">bicycling</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bicycling"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/healthy workers">healthy workers</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/healthy workers"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/healthy workers.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/worker productivity">worker productivity</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/worker productivity"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/worker productivity.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Wed, 12 Mar 2008 10:08:09 -0500</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/rss-read/a-little-help-from-our-work</guid></item><item><title>Get Off Your Gas, Get on Your Bike</title><link>http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/rss-read/get-off-your-gas-get-on-your-bike</link><category>Health</category><description>Oil prices are nearing US$110 per barrel.

Adjusted for inflation, this blows away any previous record prices for oil. Gas at the pump is now nationally above $3.20 per gallon. Pretty soon it might be cheaper to run our cars on Starbucks coffee. With current worldwide demand for oil soaring, supply&nbsp;declining,&nbsp;and our continuously weakening dollar, gas prices may hit $4.00 a gallon this year. What does this mean for the average commuter with an 8-mile commute? With spring just around the corner for most of the US, now is the time to make the commitment to ride - even if its only 2-3 days per week. This will cut your fuel costs in half, make you look and feel great, keep your doctor off your back about getting more exercise, and maybe give you that new passion in life you&#39;ve been searching for.</p><br/><br/><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bike commuting">bike commuting</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bike commuting"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bike commuting.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling">bicycling</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bicycling"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/gas prices">gas prices</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/gas prices"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/gas prices.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:45:32 -0500</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/rss-read/get-off-your-gas-get-on-your-bike</guid></item><item><title>Welcome to the Chainless Revolution Blog</title><link>http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/rss-read/welcome-to-the-chainless-revolution-blog</link><category>Health</category><description>I&#39;m so happy to be posting the first entry into our highly anticipated Chainless Revolution Blog!

At Dynamic Bicycles we are committed to the lifestyle of biking. What other activity allows you to commute while saving money, bettering your health and protecting the environment? Not many that are as fun, that&#39;s for sure!</p> <p>We hope to fill this blog with everything bicycle - we believe bicycles are the best form of recreation and transportation on the planet. Our chainless bikes in particular are reliable, efficient, fun, versatile, take up very little space, and have zero emissions. They can also be ridden by people of virtually every age. Bicycling offers a great cardiovascular workout with very little impact on your bones and joints. Bike rides are also as great for socializing as they are for getting away from it all for a while. So what are you waiting for? Let&#39;s ride...</p><br/><br/><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/commuting">commuting</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/commuting"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/commuting.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling">bicycling</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bicycling"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/chainless bikes">chainless bikes</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/chainless bikes"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/chainless bikes.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/biking">biking</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/biking"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/biking.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a>  <a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bike riding">bike riding</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/bike riding"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/technorati.gif" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bike riding.rss"><img src="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/postzinger/template/dynamic/images/tiny-rss.gif" border="0"/></a> ]]></content:encoded><pubDate>Fri, 22 Feb 2008 15:39:09 -0600</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/rss-read/welcome-to-the-chainless-revolution-blog</guid></item><atom:link href="http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/blog/tag/bicycling.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" /></channel></rss>
