Fairfield, Iowa - 2nd best place to bike?

Featuring the diversity of our group, as reported by our local Danish bike ambassador to Fairfield regarding health, food and exercise;

"You should know that most Danes do NOT EVER use their cars if we can bike the distance, hence we grow up biking at least 15-30 miles/day from the time we begin school. No self respecting Dane would EVER give his/her kid a ride to school. From the time we turn 7, we're just handed our rain gear and off we pedal in the sun, the rain and the snow. We're Vikings, after all."

"By the way, the current Danish Prime Minister is a keen competitive biker who aims to bike at least 50 km/day (with his body guards, naturally). It creates quite the stir among foreign heads of state when the Danish contingent arrive in cities like Brussels for a NATO meeting and then take off on their fancy racing bikes after the meetings.

No wonder the Danes are such happy people with all the biking we do....

Oh, and I should add that the daily biking is not the only thing that keep the Danes so happy. With all the biking we do, as well as the yummy chocolate and pastries we consume on a daily basis, you will rarely see a fat Dane as we're always out there burning calories on our bikes."

Bike On,
