Private Practice Conference – Chelan

I am attending the Private Practice Spring Conference in Chelan. Awesome blue skies, too bad I am mostly sitting in lectures and meetings. The conference has been great! Lake Chelan is beautiful as always.

Calfee Sizer Cycle Has Arrived!

I am excited to announce the arrival of our Calfee Sizer Cycle! We have patiently awaited it’s arrival and are pleased that it is now in our office. Our Calfee Sizer Cycle will allow us to help you best design and understand the geometry of your new/proposed bicycle prior to a purchase of your new, best bicycle. This type of service is especially important for those in need of a custom bicycle or those who need to best understand the implications of projected frame size differences and their individual musculoskeletal differences. We will be finalizing the parts acquisition to make our Sizer Cycle functional in the next two weeks.

Seattle Sounders!

The season is on! MLS has avoided a strike and the season will go on without interuption (other than the World Cup). I will be attending the Sounders Luncheon to benefit the King County Boys and Girls Club tomorrow as a kick off to the season. First game of the season is Thursday versus the Philadelphia Union.
Come catch a Sounder game this season!

Greater Seattle Bicycle Expo Setup!

Upstairs in the Smith Cove Terminal

Seattle Bike Expo is this weekend at the Smith Cove Terminal in the Magnolia area. Cascade has done a good job of marking your way into the show. I had the good fortune of taking my material in early to set up. Made the set up process much easier! I would imagine the scene/this space will look much different with all the other vendors. I have some great neighbors, such as Tiger Tail, NUUN, Recycled Cycles and the show main sponsor,….Raleigh. The new location for the Seattle Bike Expo is beautiful,….and warm! :) Great views of Seattle. Wonderful place to hang out and obscess over all things “bicycle”!
Hope to see you this weekend!

Tuesday Noon Bicycle Rides

Yet,…another banner day for our Tuesday, noon rides leaving Corpore Sano PT in Kenmore.
Three of us toured the hills of Lake Forest Park today and meandered the north-40 of Kenmore on our way back to Corpore Sano PT. All said, one hour of hills and head winds. We learned a little bit about counter steering, descending and a little bit of the eschelon.
Come join us next Tuesday!

Busy Weekends

Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010
The completion of Chilly Hilly heralds my “busy season”. These current three weeks have been no exception.

First there was Bike Swap. People were in the buying mood this year and we were able to effectively clean out our garage. We then went up to Vancouver to be with the “people” in the streets during the USA vs Canada hockey showdown. Large-loud-crowd 101 for our children. :)

Last Friday I was honored to give a presentation at Pacific Lutheran University’s Symposium on Sport and Recreation (www.PLU.edu). The next two days I hosted the Bronze-level course for my BikePT cirriculum. BikePT is a continuing education program that teaches Physical Therapists how to work effectively with the injured or painful bicyclist. www.BikePT.com

This coming weekend is the Greater Seattle Bicycle Expo as hosted by Cascade Bicycle Club. Cascade has moved the Expo this year to the Magnolia area. Please be advised. We will be there again this year! Please plan to stop by and say “Hi”. I will be doing a Bike Fit lecture on Sunday afternoon.

Medical Night at Everyday Athlete

I will be at Everyday Athlete as a featured sports medicine professional consultant on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month. These evenings run from 6:30-7:30pm. I will be providing complimentary 10-15 minute discussions with individuals about their activity related aches and pains. It is a great place to start with the discovery process of activity related aches and pains. “Should I really be worried about this hurt?” “Where do I start to help make the bad pain go away and get me back to my activity?”

Kirkland is lucky to have Lance, Len and Wade at Everyday Athlete!
