22 bits of love


“Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experience.”

“Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.”
Aldous Huxley



“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” – Albert Einstein
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.” – Albert Ellis
“The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.” – Bill Copeland
“If what you’re doing is not your passion, you have nothing to lose.”
“The person who says something is impossible should not interrupt the person who is doing it.”
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” – George Eliot


“All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.” – Walt Disney
“What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.” – Napoleon Hill

 “It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.” – Seneca 
“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
“Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.” -Albert Einstein.
“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” -Milton Berle
“The sky has never been the limit. We are our own limits. It’s then about breaking our personal limits and outgrowing ourselves to live our best lives.”

 “First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.” – Mahatma Gandhi
“When you can’t change the direction of the wind — adjust your sails.” ~ H. Jackson Brown

“Everything you want should be yours: the type of work you want; the relationships you need; the social, mental, and aesthetic stimulation that will make you happy and fulfilled; the money you require for the lifestyle that is appropriate to you; and any requirement that you may (or may not) have for achievement or service to others. If you don’t aim for it all, you’ll never get it all. To aim for it requires that you know what you want” ~ Richard Koch
“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.” – Albert Ellis
“Confidence comes not from always being right but not fearing to be wrong”
“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

Cycle Dog


My pup is in need of a new collar and I decided to pop online and see what kind of goodies I could get him considering I order so many bike parts a day why not something for him too. 
I have heard of people making wallets and little knick knacks out of old tubes but I was unaware there was a whole company dedicated to making products out of old tubes. 


Cycle Dog makes dog collars, leashes, and now belts for humans, out of recycled bike tubes. Snazzy feature of these products for you dog lover out there,the collars and belts come with a bottle opener. Just another reason for you to take your pup along to the park to hang with you and your friends. Cycle Dog is making a difference by helping us and our pets reduce our carbon prints.
There are over 60 million bike riders in the US. Just because they lost their training wheels doesn’t mean they don’t get flat tires. I  have had many flats in my time as a cyclist, sadly my tubes probably wound up in a landfill, but maybe not...Lanette Fidrych, founder of Cycle Dog, is collecting these tubes so they don’t harm the earth more than it already is. 
Find your local Bike shop and ask them what they do with their left over tubes. 

Cute products for a great cause.
