Taking Hikes With Beach Bikes

Opt for a pair of beach bikes and cruise with your honey down to the ocean side or navigate through winding neighborhood streets. The beach bike itself conjures images of leisurely exercise and sightseeing, and it's the perfect vehicle for a multitude of reasons. Take hikes with beach bikes, and discover all an area has to offer without the slow pace of traditional on-foot hiking.

Beach bikes are popular transportation vehicles for the following pursuits:

- Beachside traveling – Find yourself a boardwalk and start pedaling. Rain or shine, this is one of the places where you will likely see many beach bikes. The large comfortable seats that beach bikes feature make it easy to sit in the saddle for hours at a time. This means that beach explorers can enjoy whole days worth of fun without undue soreness. Hop from bar to bar or surf shop to surf shop much quicker than your pedestrian cohorts.

- Suburban exploration – Learn the ins and outs of your place of residence. Know your suburb from north to south and east to west. On beach bikes, adventure is truly found in your backyard. Ride through all of those side streets that you zip by each day in your car. Take your time, and you'll realize that you don't need to hop on a jet plane to find a good time.

- Campus transportation – College students often arrive on campus the first day of classes equipped with laptop, dorm key and beach cruiser. On smaller campuses, it is much easier to find a place to park the beach cruiser than it is to find a parking spot for a motor vehicle. Many colleges are so spread out that it is nearly impossible for a co-ed to make it from class to class in time. Use the pedestrian-friendly beach cruiser, which will not travel at speeds high enough to become uncontrollable even in hilly terrain.

Real couple time – Purchase tandem beach bikes, and you and your beloved will literally be stuck together. Share the pedaling duties as you effortlessly travel the miles together and try to shake the song “A Bicycle Built for Two†out of your heads. Good luck! These bikes are also wonderful bonding mechanisms for a parent and a child. Have those heart-to-heart talks while you're out on the road. It's so much easier to speak seriously when the wind is rushing through your hair, and the wide open road beckons with its endless possibility

Ankle/foot pain after jumping from low heights?

Hi, I would like to understand why do both of my ankles and the rest of the feet hurt after I jump from a low heights (e.g. after being seating in a place for which my hands were enough to lift myself and get there, ~7 in higher than my waist) It has happened three times already: I jump, land on both of my feet and they feel weird, not as if I had a bruise but probably a dull sensation that takes a few seconds to leave before I can walk conforatably. (I made some small feet movements afterwards)
I sprained my left ankle ~6 months ago, wore a cast for about 5 days, did some PT; however I have twisted it two or three times since (last time ~2 months ago). It wasn't too bad when I twisted the ankle. I do not recall twisting my right ankle recently but even if i did (went hiking a few times during the summer) it must have not been too bad for I do not really remember it. Why is this happening? Why do BOTH feet feel like that after jumping. thank you.

The only thing that I can think of would be stress fractures or maybe even a bone spur. Try this though ..... put one foot across the opposite knee and pull your toes backwards for a few seconds ... gently. This might help to work out the tendons or muscles in your feet.
