Here’s a fantastic video of Chris Bliss in concert juggling three balls in sync with a Beatles song. He’s a fantastic juggler! Then there was another juggler who copied his routine. See both videos below.

I love watching old shows or reading old books about how our life will be so different in the future. Many predictions in the 60s showed us flying around in personal spaceships by the year 2000. This video was made in 1967 as part of a movie, 1999 A.D., where the future household can shop from home, pay bills from home, etc… If this is the way we saw the future in 1967, imagine how different the year 2047 will look to us!

Here’s some cool tricks to try out the next time you are commuting to work. If you could do this, I’m sure you’ll get some amazed looks. Just remember, wear your helmet! This video was taped in 2000 or 2001 in Wuerzburg, Germany. This makes me want a fixed gear bike even more.

My kids love this video and have probably watched it 20-30 times. It’s a very short video where a moma bear is relaxing with its cub in front. The cub sneezes and the moma bear jumps. (sorry to ruin the plot for you)

Vancouver’s bike to work week is just around the corner. Starting on May 28 everyone is encouraged to leave the car at home and try biking to work. I suggest trying it out once or twice before then just to get yourself ready. Hopefully you will find that not only will you be saving money in gas, maintenance and parking you will enjoy your commute more and get some healthy exercise at the same time.

The Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition has done a great job in promoting this event. They even offer a tracking system that you can sign up for. It will provide you with stats on your commuting benefits as well as put you into competition with co-workers as well as other companies for the most faithful bicycle commuters. If you haven’t already done so, head on over to their site to register:
