Read MoreClimate change is something I've been studying for a while now. Although there is a lot of climate information out there, the actual science of climate change is far from exact. In fact, many of the catastrophic climate deadlines experts warned us about decades ago have come and gone. Yet fear-based apocalyptic predictions keep on…

Read MoreIf a book has the word cycling in its title or a bicycle on its cover, you can bet it’s on my reading list. I’ve heard of Jeff Mapes's book from many different people over the years and decided to get a copy. Somehow my excitement wained and it ended up sitting on my bookshelf waiting for the right time.
