Dodging the Roadkill: The Haters
Clarksville, TN – I know it’s hard to believe, but not everybody loves motorcycles and or bikers.
Most people feel intimidated by them, or in some cases, they just flat out HATE them. For whatever reason, they go out of their way to show their displeasure, and in some cases, can be dangerous.
These are the ones I want to address.
I can’t say I’ve had a lot of encounters like the one I had the other day, but I know it happens fairly regularly and it could be a life threatening situation.

Dodging the Roadkill: Lane Splitting
Clarksville, TN – Lane splitting is a relatively new concept to me. Since I’ve only been riding for 18 months, it’s not something I’ve ever done, but the concept is picking up steam across the country.
Lane splitting is riding a motorcycle between lanes or rows of slow moving or stopped traffic that’s moving in the same direction. Sometimes called lane sharing, whitelining, filtering or stripe-riding, it allows bikers to save time and bypass traffic congestion. It may also be safer for the biker than being stopped in congested traffic.
Now, I’ve avoided some traffic by passing on the shoulder, but at the moment, I haven’t had the “balls” to drive between cars and trucks that are backed up on the interstate. It just never occurred to me to do that. I don’t feel safe doing that.

American Heart Association reports Children Score Low on Cardiovascular Health Measures
American Heart Association Scientific Statement
Dallas, TX – Proactive strategies for promoting good heart health should begin at birth, yet most American children do not meet the American Heart Association’s definition of ideal childhood cardiovascular health, according to a new scientific statement published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation.
“Instead of taking a wait-and-see approach by treating disease later in adulthood, we should help children maintain the standards of ideal cardiovascular health that most children are born with,” said Julia Steinberger, M.D., M.S., lead author of the new statement, professor in pediatrics and director of pediatric cardiology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

American Heart Association says Electronic Vaping Use by Teens Extremely Disturbing
Washington, D.C. – American Heart Association CEO Nancy Brown issued the following comments today on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which is conducted every two years.
The 2015 data show the rate of cigarette smoking among American high school students has continued to drop since the last survey.
Unlike tobacco products, e-cigarettes are not age-restricted. Use among youth approximately doubled between 2011 and 2012, by which time an estimated 1.78 million students in grades 6–12 had tried the devices, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
