At 7pm, while most of the nation had inhaled a calorie intake that would run Hertfordshire for a week, I was burning off more calories than I’d eaten, throwing some questionable dance moves to music from Vanilla Ice to Guns N’ Roses.

Seat width has an immediate effect on comfort, but is less of a safety issue than seat pitch. This is the space between one seat row and another, measured from the top of one seatback to the next. Pitch is far more critical in the way it affects how fast passengers can get out of a cabin in an emergency because it restricts the initial movement out of a row of seats into the aisle. And yet airlines wanting to cram in more rows of coach seats are intent on reducing pitch to a degree never seen before.

Another useful product is the DMI Deluxe Swivel Seat Cushion ($22), which is a round portable cushion that turns 360 degrees to help drivers and passengers rotate their body into and out of a vehicle.

People with a short stature have difficulties driving because their feet can barely touch the pedals. Nonetheless, adjusting your car seat and steering wheel will help ease driving. COURTESY PHOTO. 

Enhanced cushion comfort, for example. And adjustable headrests. There’s "contoured seatback design at knee level creates additional living space for every customer."

Mountain PiePizza Pedal’r2907 Huron Street 720-328-8742 Nine years ago, the first Pizza Pedal’r opened at 125 Parry Way in Winter Park. The idea, says owner Rick Marion, was to pay homage to the mountain-biking community while making a stick-to-your-ribs mountain pizza that could keep outdoor enthusiasts going all day. "It’s a hearty pizza for sports and before you go skiing or mountain biking," says Marion. A braided crust is the first step to making a mountain pie. But while the edge of the pizza is bready and toothsome, the bottom is rolled thin, though still sturdy enough enough to hold the pile of toppings Pizza Pedal’r is known for. Order the Yard Sale (which gets its name from when you wreck while mountain biking or skiing and your gear goes everywhere) with Buffalo chicken, onions, bacon, sweet potato fries and a homemade ranch-based dressing, which is used instead of the classic red sauce. That’s just one example of the mountain pies available, which can also be found in downtown Denver’s Prospect neighborhood.

There’s more: these “shell” seats weigh even less if the backs don’t recline. Fixed seatbacks are more and more common – one manufacturer even uses the euphemism “prereclined” in promoting its version. Even if you don’t get stuck with one of these, the so-called recline on many long-haul coach seats is so minimal that it offers no real relief to the spine.

But wood-fired ovens also demand more knowledge and expertise than a modern model, from painstaking dough production to fine-tuned finishing flourishes. Here, top wood-fired experts share their tips for ensuring the perfect fire-fueled bake.

Catching up for a quick lunch with a friend, I found myself back at the Little Italy Food Hall, scanning its several restaurant counters for something we can agree on. As often happens in such a situation, we settled on pizza.

It would join the ranks of other non-traditional Christmas Days I’ve enjoyed this century – the one in the Channel Islands, the one eating fish pie in London and the one eating steak sandwiches on a campsite in New Zealand.

In addition, there is a storage issue. Without a commissary commercial kitchen in town Josh has no where to pre-make and store dough, so he’s forced to make only as much as he can keep on the truck. That’s about 150 pizzas.

The Barhaug’s soon discovered getting a food truck going isn’t necessarily easier than opening up a traditional restaurant. There are taxes, manufacturing costs since each rig is a custom-build, and strict food safety standards. In spite of the fact that the oven design has been safely used world-wide for generations, they had so much trouble getting the final fire inspection approval on the oven that they eventually hired a lawyer.
