Don Walker Bike- Best bike in North America.

Don Walker cycles is a one-man shop with a solid reputation for building high performance bicycle frames. Each frame is handcrafted from start to finish using only the highest quality materials available today. I currently offer road, track, tandem, cross, mountain, and single speed frames and complete bicycles. I stay up-to-date on the latest advances in technology and that carries over to my philosophy of building frames. From my selection of dropouts to tubing, you have a variety of options to create a one-of-a kind, efficient, comfortable, beautiful machine that blends with your body type and size.

My design experience comes from 10 years as a competitive cyclist with an emphasis on track racing. Riders who trust Don Walker Cycles to give them the ultimate in cycling performance have won numerous District, State, National and International competitions, including the Olympics and Union Cycliste Internationale Track World Championships.

My manufacturing experience starts with me being an aircraft mechanic my entire adult life. I have worked on some of the most advanced technological aircraft in the world including the United States Air Force’s B1-b, B-2 and even Navy P3 aircraft. My resume also includes the Learjet model 45 and Challenger 300 series, the most technologically advanced corporate business jets. In addition to my aircraft experience, I became a certified welder in 1992. And have also mastered the art of fillet brazing, a technique that makes the tubes look seamlessly connected.

Cycling – a doctor for specific health issues

1. Cardiovascular disease and cycling:- Cardiovascular diseases include stroke, high blood pressure and heart attack. Regular cycling stimulates and improves your heart, lungs and circulation, reducing your risk of cardiovascular diseases.
   Cycling strengthens your heart muscles, lowers resting pulse and reduces blood fat levels. Research also shows that people who cycle to work have two to three times less exposure to pollution than car commuters, so their lung function is improved. A Danish study conducted over 14 years with 30,000 people aged 20 to 93 years found that regular cycling protected people from heart disease.
2. Cancer and cycling:- Many researchers have studied the relationship between exercise and cancer, especially colon and breast cancer. Research has shown that if you cycle, the chance of bowel cancer is reduced. Some evidence suggests that regular cycling reduces the risk of breast cancer.
3. Diabetes and cycling:- The rate of type 2 diabetes is increasing and is a serious public health concern. Lack of physical activity is thought to be a major reason why people develop this condition. Large-scale research in Finland found that people who cycled for more than 30 minutes per day had a 40 per cent lower risk of developing diabetes.
4. Bone injuries, arthritis and cycling:- Cycling improves strength, balance and coordination. It may also help to prevent falls and fractures. Riding a bike is an ideal form of exercise if you have osteoarthritis, because it is a low-impact exercise that places little stress on joints.Cycling does not specifically help osteoporosis (bone-thinning disease) because it is not a weight-bearing exercise.
5. Mental illness and cycling:-  Mental health conditions such as depression, stress and anxiety can be reduced by regular bike riding. This is due to the effects of the exercise itself and because of the enjoyment that riding a bike can bring.

Morning Cycling keeps you Healthy:

To be fit and healthy you need to be physically active. Regular physical activity can help protect you from serious diseases such as obesity, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, diabetes and arthritis. Riding your bicycle regularly is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of health problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle.

Cycling is a healthy, low-impact exercise that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from young children to older adults. It is also fun, cheap and good for the environment.

Riding to work or the shops is one of the most time-efficient ways to combine regular exercise with your everyday routine. An estimated one billion people ride bicycles every day – for transport, recreation and sport.

Cycling is mainly an aerobic activity, which means that your heart, blood vessels and lungs all get a workout. You will breathe deeper, perspire and experience increased body temperature, which will improve your overall fitness level.

• increased cardiovascular fitness
• increased muscle strength and flexibility
• improved joint mobility
• decreased stress levels
• improved posture and coordination
• strengthened bones
• decreased body fat levels
