collections from a lunch time perusal...
11sp? ya gotta be kidding me... bad enough that I wear out 8 speed chains like kids and toilet paper... and with little tiny guys wearing out 10 speed... There ain't no hope for the Clydes.
Riding home last night in the rain. With arm warmers on. I was reminded of Liz's "Arm Coolers???" entry. Rain + knit DeFeet Armwarmers = arm coolers. Sort of. Warmer than being bare armed, but not by much. Cooler than they would have been if it was dry. it got me thinking about goofy watering devices and stuff to create an evaporative cooling effect... ya know for days when it's just too hot... All the while riding home feeling the strongest I've felt in a while. Maybe it was the rain.
4 tunes for free. Well worth a read. Jacquie phelan (the original JP of the cycling world - no offense Page) talks about quark (good stuff, available at the Farm Store at Hawthorne valley), riding and music...
Big Jonny's mention of some dude who buckled a 30 pack of beer in a seat and made the kid ride on the floor. Australia, go figure.
Gotta watch this:

Oh and I would be lying if I didn't expect this news from the first moment I looked at carbon nanotubes in the microscope... Thanks for the article BikeRadar!
Less or more somber note. Today is the day set for the 6th annual ride of silence. There's one locally here and most places with a strong bike culture. Check it out at ride of silence dot org
got more stuff brewing in the brain...
might get it out before it ferments into bubbles and floats away...

road my bike to work today! holy crap!
BTW, evaporative coolers are well established technology in dry climates. Very cost effective. Not so much in new england with our high summer humidity, but in a forced air situation, like riding a bike, you will see cooling effect of course from wet arm warmers. And your sweat will do the work.
road my bike to work today! holy crap!
how do you "road" a bike?
but even if you did RIDE it. serious holy crap.
That is unless it was from the big house to the garage. LOL
