Biking Across America with WE ADD UP - Day 36: Talcum Powder

by Carson Poe and Eric Plosky, Boston, MA on 09. 6.08

This post is one in a series of video blogs about biking across America with WE ADD UP to raise awareness about how to stop global warming. Check out more posts in this series here.

In January 2005, Carson and a few friends climbed Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Day 36 of the bike trip, 2008 brought Carson and Eric to Mount Washington, Oregon. As Carson points out, both versions of the Mount Washington bring all sorts of interesting challenges. Seeking to alleviate one of the bike trip's major pains, Carson puts some talcum powder to good use before tackling the last day of the bike trip across America.

I would strongly advise against the use of talcum powder because it is contaminated with asbestos, which is carcinogenic. Use it at your own risk.

Yes it is true Talcum powder is bad for you but I think they are using Johnson and Johnson which is cornstarch based.
