Spencer Ivy to Provide Electric Biking Breaks with Holiday Firms

Spencer Ivy, providers of high quality electric bikes, are pleased to announce their partnership with holiday companies in England and Wales to offer couples and families from around the world the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful British landscape.

2011-05-10
LONDON, ENGLAND, May 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) Spencer Ivy launched their electric bikes in October 2010, with the aim to make cycling more accessible to people who are usually deterred due to the terrain or distance they need to cycle - whether it be for work or leisure. Expanding into the tourism industry was therefore a natural progression. Now, in addition to offering high quality and efficient electric bikes through its network of dealers in the UK and Spain, Spencer Ivy will also provide tourists with premier electric bike holidays through its partners in Wales and across the South of England.

Drover Holidays based by the Brecon Beacons National Park and Capital Sport with routes running from Devon, right through to Kent, are among the first to open up cycling holidays to a wider audience. The electric bicycle holidays range from short 2 day breaks to longer 10 day tours. The companies have already taken bookings from couples and families as far afield as Australia, America, and Canada.

Speaking to the couple from Canada at London Paddington station on their way to Devon, they said they had "always wanted to visit Devon by bike but were put off by the hills as the route has been graded by Capital Sport as 5/5 for difficulty. But with such beautiful scenery, it would have been unfortunate to miss out, so we hired the electric bikes".

"In addition to offering our customers the high level of reliability and performance of our electric bikes, holiday companies will benefit in the same way as it opens up the market for the same audience" stated Joy Barber, Marketing Director for Spencer Ivy. "The low maintenance nature of our bikes and its superior ability for climbing the steepest hills means the tour operators can happily leave even novice cyclists to their own accord and simply enjoy the ride."

Spencer Ivy will soon be launching an interactive map on their website (http://www.spencerivy.com/) to make it easier for people to find out about the holiday companies providing electric assisted bikes.

Holidaymakers interested in learning more about electric cycling holidays can visit http://www.droverholidays.co.uk and http://www.capital-sport.co.uk. Holiday companies and resorts interested in joining Spencer Ivy's network of electric cycling destinations should contact Va Hua on 020 3021 3388 for more information.

Oncolytic viruses effectively target and kill pancreatic cancer stem cells

The findings are especially important since pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis and is difficult to detect and treat at early stages. Investigators led by Joyce Wong, MD, surgical researcher with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, investigated whether they could use oncolytic viruses, ...

UT Southwestern scientists unmask mysterious cells as key 'border patrol agents' in the intestine

2011-05-10

Heart medication best at bedtime, study reveals

2011-05-10
When doctors give heart drugs to patients, the time of day can make a big difference, according to new research by University of Guelph scientists. Many doctors prefer to give heart drugs to patients in the morning. But the study revealed that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors – commonly given to patients with high blood pressure or after a heart attack or during heart failure – improve heart structure and function when given at sleep time. In fact, when administered during wake time, ACE inhibitors are no more effective than a placebo, the study found. The ...

New York, N.Y. (May 9, 2011) – In the first comprehensive study of autism prevalence using a total population sample, an international team of investigators from the U.S., South Korea, and Canada estimated the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in South Korea to be 2.64%, or approximately 1 in 38 children, and concluded that autism prevalence estimates worldwide may increase when this approach is used to identify children with ASD. "Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder in a Total Population Sample," published today online in the American Journal of Psychiatry ...

Vanderbilt biologists discover a new class of insect repellent

2011-05-10
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Imagine an insect repellant that not only is thousands of times more effective than DEET – the active ingredient in most commercial mosquito repellants – but also works against all types of insects, including flies, moths and ants. That possibility has been created by the discovery of a new class of insect repellant made in the laboratory of Vanderbilt Professor of Biological Sciences and Pharmacology Laurence Zwiebel and reported this week in the online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "It wasn't something we ...

Zombie ants have fungus on the brain, new research reveals
2011-05-10
New research has revealed how infection by a parasitic fungus dramatically changes the behavior of tropical of carpenter ants (species Camponotus leonardi), causing them to become zombie-like and to die at a spot that has optimal reproduction conditions for the fungus. The multinational research team studied ants living high up in the rainforest canopy in Thailand. A paper describing the research will be published in the BioMed Central open-access journal BMC Ecology on 9 May 2011. "The behavior of these infected zombie ants essentially causes their bodies to become an ...

2011-05-10
Researchers from the Basque nanoscience research center CIC nanoGUNE and Neaspec GmbH (Germany) have developed an instrument that allows for recording infrared spectra with a thermal source at a resolution that is 100 times better than in conventional infrared spectroscopy. In future, the technique could be applied for analyzing the local chemical composition and structure of nanoscale materials in polymer composites, semiconductor devices, minerals or biological tissue. The work is published in Nature Materials. The absorption of infrared radiation is characteristic ...
