7 Super Snacks That Heal If some doctors had their way today, Americans would be more medicated than industrial feedlot cattle. But what most people don’t realize is that the first line of defense against stress, fatigue, depression, and so many other maladies is found in supermarket aisles, not in the drug store.

Oversimplified: Steel Vs. Aluminum Most city bikes are built on either steel or aluminum frames, and which one you pick will impact the life of your bike, even the quality of the ride. Read on for the how and why, and we'll help you navigate the materials market. Aluminum frames are generally stiffer than steel, resulting in a harsher ride. When fractions of a second count, track racers prefer that rigidity. But for getting to the store over city streets, steel is a softer metal and offers a more forgiving ride. No frame material is more durable than steel. The same isn't true for aluminum. Think about it like this: glass will break before it bends. There's a misconception that steel frames are heavy, and aluminum frames are light. See, to make aluminum frames strong enough to ride, builders have to make the tubes larger, using more material. How can you tell? Our bikes are made from a very strong and very light steel alloy called 4130 chromoly. Cheap bikes often use straight gauge HiTensil steel.
