Expresso bikes have become the rage in fitness centers and gyms across the country because they feature 19-inch color display screens and 30-plus virtual courses and video games you can play as you ride. The Bob Burger Recreation Center in Lafayette recently added five Expresso bikes that let cyclists connect to the Internet and track their statistics, ride with friends, access leader boards and listen to music. The center is at 111 W. Baseline Road, Lafayette. 303-665-0469.
Here comes the sun
Coloradans boast about their average of 300 days of sun exposure each year, but we all know too much exposure has its ill effects as well. Those looking for protection will find it in Lands’ End new Sun.Life clothing collection for men, women and children, $12.50 to $49.50. The garments and accessories have an ultraviolet protection factor of 30 to 50 and include hats, shirts, shorts and pants in cotton blend fabrics. Some of the garments have special features, such as zip-off pant legs and adjustable shorts lengths. See the line at
