Bike lanes were created so that bicyclists could safely ride without getting hit or falling into a huge pit full of spikes. They are there to make everything more safe. This bike lane, however, is not acting upon that principal. Don't get me wrong. I've been riding a bike for my entire life. I'm pretty good at it, but I'd rather just walk the bike in this case. I trust my balance. Just not that much.
The photo is absolutely incredible though. Imagine if it was shot the other way and no one ever knew the death-defying act these bicyclists went through. It just looked like two guys biking against a wall. I'd kill that camera guy. If I'm going to do something bad ass, you better take a picture that represents that. If I do something wimpy, please destroy all evidence.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
