While riding my bike yesterday, the front derailleur suddenly snapped off and fell on the chain. (I learned that this can happen to older bikes and there is wear and tear on the derailleur.) This bike is almost 10 years old, but in excellent condition!
Luckily, I was not hurt! I managed to walk the bike to my destination because I couldn’t ride it. At the nearby bike store they told my politely that they couldn’t service it, because it isn’t a brand that they carry. They needed a specific part from the manufacturer, which they couldn’t get.
They were gracious and quickly removed the derailleur and cable without charge. I rode home safely in the height of traffic! I felt like I was riding my old Raleigh 3-speed or a fixed gear bike! It’s now in the shop and hopefully I’ll pick it up tomorrow. I plan on commuting to my clients as much as possible.

What do you think of when the word fitness comes to mind? What images and thoughts appear? What are you doing in that moment? Is it enjoyable or are you just going through the motions?
Beth's philosophy is that fitness should be fun, goal-oriented, realistic and integrated into daily life, regardless of age, gender, health and level. Attitude is everything when it comes to health and fitness.
She inspires and motivates every individual to utilize their greatest gifts: their body, heart and mind, by creating a dynamic and functional program that incorporates fitness into everyday life. The days of tedious and monotonous workouts are over! Instead, you get an exhilarating program that suits you. Variety is the spice of life!
Participating in a lifelong fitness program that excites you, empowers you, and reflects you and your goals is your ultimate health and fitness success story.
The real question is: What do you imagine for yourself now — at whatever stage you may be in your life?
