We found that almost 40% of 12-21 year old females are iron deficient.

I’ve been asked how this is possible evolutionarily.

Dans la lignée des parcs d’éducation cycliste, nous saluons Rimouski ville cyclable, qui propose un parcours hivernal aux enfants dans le cadre de leur programme Mini-Cyclone. Nous apprécions beaucoup les pneus avant cloutés (à la main) des draisiennes! 😍

The Cambridge Street “woonerf” in Ottawa dates back to the 1990s (I believe). It’s designed to slow down car traffic on this residential street. It’s a shame Ottawa and other cities haven’t experimented with designs like this more over the past few decades!

The Dutch have a saying: 'You are not made of sugar, you won't melt in the rain!'.
When you use a bicycle for practical purposes, the weather becomes less significant. Whether you commute to work on a bicycle, you do so both on sunny days and when it's raining.

But did you know that in addition to many physical symptoms, iron deficiency is associated with multiple mental health issues?

Many absolute neutrophil count thresholds in cancer care do not account for normal levels in people with the Duffy null phenotype— the majority of whom are Black or Middle Eastern.
