Question for cyclists
I would love to get into cycling. My main concern though is safety on the roads. We live in a rural area with mainly two-lane roads. When I go for my runs most cars will go over in the other lane to give me room or I will also go into the grass to give them room and give them a nice "thank you" wave. I imagine with a bike…

Favorite k-cup
I just got a k10 not to long ago and really enjoy it. I usually only have one cup of coffee in the mornings, then one after lunch so the single serve option works out well for me. I have enjoyed trying the different brands/flavors. So far my favorite is Harris Teeter French vanilla. Anyone else have some favorites?
