The DIETFITS study published today isn’t super surprising, get 600 people to eat more vegetables and less added sugar for a year and they’ll lose weight. What is interesting in the study are the takeaways regarding what doesn’t matter when dieting. The study, published today in JAMA

These Col Collective videos just keep getting better and better. The incredible visuals are great inspiration to get out and ride. When the summer season lasts only three months (if you’re lucky) then you know you’re in an extreme place. Shrouded in mist and snow drifts for much

Two cars are cruising down the road. One car is going 70mph and the other is going 100mph. Suddenly a tree falls across the road and both drivers start braking at the same time. If the car that had been going 70mph stops just before hitting the tree, how fast
