10 Things Bikers Know To Be True
Tarah Moleski

Biking is the best.


1. Biking is fucking awesome, and you're awesome for burning fat and not burning gas.

Heck yeah, you know it.

2. When you can bike without using your hands, it feels like you're flying.

At least, that's how I feel anyway...

3. Biking in the rain is mostly crappy but can be sort of fun.

If you have nowhere to be, and you can easily go home and dry off, that's what makes it doable. Oh also if you aren't riding in a storm.

4. It feels good to get in exercise daily.

If you bike to and from school or more-BAM there's some nice exercise for the day.

5. Biking is therapeutic.

Put in some headphones day or night, hit the road and you're outta sight. So nice.

6. Passing cars makes you feel cool.

You may or may not get to your destination faster than someone in a car, but when there's traffic it sure does make ya feel good.

7. You hate when the car in front of you doesn't use their blinker.

Everyone should just really use their blinker.... or hand signals.

8. When you pass by another biker, you get that inclusive nod, wave or smile.

Makes it all worth it.

9. It's really rad to use your body to propel yourself forward.

You are literally getting yourself from point A to B! How cool!

10. Night bike rides are the best, hands down.

If you haven't done this yet, this is something that's needed. I live in small, college town where the kids leave for breaks and that's the best time to do it. When no one else is out. With front and back lights too of course.


Thanks for reading!! Get on your bike and ride!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
