The greatest myth told to children is “you can be anything when you grow up” as a profitable job. No you are not going to be a cowboy, artist, rockstar, zookeeper, and astronaut as most people have learned. You go where the money is or you suffer.

Epic Bike Raid Day – Today was raid day for my video game group that meets in the park. In addition I just got my folding mountain bike fixed, my transition lens sunglasses on, and my Bauhaus band shirt washed. Since I am single and have not had a date in months I have no choice but to get so fit from bike riding men from other towns find me attractive. I have not been to DC or Maryland since the VNV show in April, but I have future plans to go. I am now super sore from a full day of many miles of bike riding. It is no longer National Bike Month, but bike riding remains my daily hobby. In addition I hit a new record on Jacfit Fitness App for miles biked in one month, and I started in April and hit 200 miles this week. I wish-listed an electric bike yet never bought it, and so I had to do all the miles with natural human power.

No life has no problems as when we fall we get back up again yearly. Many thanks to my out of state friends in Texas, Louisiana, Washington, and Maryland that showered me with phone and Internet messages of help and support when I was going through a rough time last month. I was not wanting June to have bad budget problems. Interviews, jobs, and returned calls have been the welcomed activity for this month. Sometimes change has to happen to bring improvements, and a better job that uses my University degree is in the works.

Life may be rough right now but at least I have a good bike to ride. Life was easy when going outside to play was the only goal. #Nationalbikemonth #Bikelife

May is National Bike Month so I am trying to focus on bike related information. Jbike is a movement tracker for bikes. My review of the Jacfit game’s Jbike device is there is no better video game on Amazon. I started using a Fitbit around the time I played World of Warcraft and other MMO games as long video games make you ache for fitness activities. Nintendo is the one video game company that was addressing this with Poke-walkers, Pokemon Go, and Fitness Boxing games. Most MMOs should have an app that syncs with step counters giving you in-game gold and healing potions in my opinion. I longed for a World of Fitness-craft step counter game. Many other people had this idea as I have seen many online versions emerge. Jackfit on Amazon is doing it the best to date with clear rip-off style segments of wolf pets, wendigo, yeti boxing bosses, and mummies that look rather like World of Warcraft game levels. The Yeti boxing boss looks like it was ripped completely from WoW games.
An eternal problem of repetitive activity is boredom. Without a group and feeling social it is hard to stick with it. My childhood asthma kept me from sports as a kid. Jackfit lets you be active with teams and clubs at your own pace at whatever time you are free. This is a great improvement from other old world methods.
Technically I review books and video games relating to books on my website. This game is not a change as many Jacfit levels mirror Pokemon Go as movements hatch eggs, train up pets, and gain food with healing. Pokemon has a long book and graphic novel line like “Pokemon Black and White” by Hidenoai Kusaka a favorite story of mine. Jacfit has a unique plot separate from Pokemon, yet has trainers, farms, eggs, and many quest battles in a similar style to Pokemon. To hatch eggs you must walk with eggs daily. Then with gold coins you win in game for movement you must buy seeds then plant them on the farm. Feed the grown seeds to pets to hatch them to adults. Exploration quests evolve pets to greater power.
One issue is Jacfit was made overseas by people who clearly speak English as a second language. It does not make the game unplayable. Yet when you win “You Has Win Day” may pop up on the screen in hilariously broken English. Man Google translate was not the friend of these guys. This only makes it more fun in my opinion. Peloton makes users pay thousands of dollars for a full team bike user experience, (I don’t have one and use a road bike but I have heard stories) and Jacfit does the same thing for around 30 dollars in price. I now have brand loyalty to this super fun game, and will keep using it daily. May is National Bike Month and this game is a great way to celebrate using my bike more. #Bike, #BikeFitnessTracker #BikeGame, #NationalBikeMonth, #Hatch Jbike Jacfit Egg
Yeti boxing boss looks just like World of Warcraft.
Heated bike tires win winter land gold.

I just biked to win my first Conqueror Challenge Metal. It was a virtual race of DC over 30 miles long I logged online, and also it was a fun history tour. I will always keep it on my wall. Another fun was to celebrate National Bike Month.

If I seem to be posting more about bikes and bike products it is because it is National Bike Month.
National Bike Month

Zizzo Magnetic Trainer is the best fitness product on Amazon in my opinion as a reviewer. I tried more than a few, and they did NOT get my heart rate up. For real fitness to happen you have to get the target heart rate of a person in range over 115. Many things are calling themselves fitness products that do NOT do this at all, but thankfully Zizzo Bike Trainer is the real deal.
In addition I have tried many cheap bike trainers that were huge and loud. The small folding Zizzo bike when used with the Zizzo trainer is small and quiet. On a pretty day when you feel like using a bike the small Zizzo bike can go to the park without even needing a bike rack for your car. On weeks with lots of rain the Zizzo can still be used at the house for a good workout at target heart rate range mixed with plenty of sweat. The Jacfit fitness game has a good heart rate monitor on it, and that fits perfectly on the Zizzo bike with a trainer. It takes up less space than bikes with trainers I used in my room in the past, and is a joy to use in comparison. Peloton charges a thousand dollars a bike for a good home group workout experience, and Jacfit mixed with Zizzo do it for a $30 installment payment price tag. I am glad I found a quality product and experience that does not break the bank as every gym I have tried in Virginia has been a horrifying money pit rip off. #Nationalbikemonth, #bike, #bikelife
