Vehicle for a Small Planet
“A cyclist can ride three-and-a-half miles on the calories found in an ear of corn. Bicycles consume less energy per passenger mile than any other form of transport, including walking. A ten-mile commute by bicycle requires 350 calories of energy, the amount in one bowl of rice. The same trip in the average American carContinue reading “Vehicle for a Small Planet”

>World’s Most Fuel Efficient Engine
> http://www.youtube.com/get_player The only fuel this engine burns are a few calories…its only emission is a little sweat now and again. Not a hybrid…nothing to plug in…100% human powered. For short, urban distances, if you are a healthy adult, I see no reason why this is not only an option, but the first choice. ToContinue reading “>World’s Most Fuel Efficient Engine”

Urban (Un)Simplicity: Don’t Try This at Home
Yup…this is a short clip of me on my morning commute…uh huh, sure. If you’re interested in watching a bicycle stunt dude in an urban environment you’ll find this 5 minute video entertaining…I certainly did. All I can think to say is: holy shite!

Crazy Vertical Indoor Racetrack Thing
Is it just me or does this look insane? No helmets or padding. Fixed gears; no brakes (click the image for a larger view). Imagine if one would fall (they probably all would). Look at the guy in the rear riding high on the rim. How, I wonder, did they begin (to get enough centrifugalContinue reading “Crazy Vertical Indoor Racetrack Thing”

The Practical Pedal (pickup locations)
I dropped off the Practical Pedal in a few locations around town this evening. All the shop owners were more than glad to accept them, and people were picking them up right away…it’s a nice addition to our local bicycle community. (If you’d like to read my original post about this magazine and how IContinue reading “The Practical Pedal (pickup locations)”

NYS DMV
I was at the website of the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles today looking for a current city location (I have to renew my driver’s license…what a racket that is…almost seventy bucks, more if you request an “enhanced” license). Anyhow, I spotted a section on bicycles and thought I’d check out what theyContinue reading “NYS DMV”

Practical Pedal in Buffalo
In the event that you haven’t come across it yet, there’s an interesting and quirky little quarterly paper called The Practical Pedal, which as you may have guessed is about practical bicycling (Click here for their website). There’s another paper devoted to urban cycling called Momentum (which is a little larger and has more content,Continue reading “Practical Pedal in Buffalo”
