• Bicycles and Power Stations Part 2

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  There’s a definite link between bikes and power stations. First of all there was that programme on BBC with its bicycle power station and an unwitting bloke undressing on national TV.Then there are these pictures from the Maslauf blog (a Slovenian fixed gear site) , that I found via Urban Velo . Basically these guys ...

  If you’re in the UK (and pay your electromagnetic radiation tax that gives you exclusive rights to the airwaves over mere tax-dodging radio users), you might have seen Bang Goes The Theory on BBC1 last night. The plot of last night’s programme was to try generating the power required for a family home from [...]

• Dutchess, You’re Freaking Me Out

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  First off, let me say that I like the Dutchess. Cannondale’s take on the classic ladies’ bike is full of the sort of design features that would normally not make it past the eyeball grabbing concept bike stage.I love the structural rear-mudguard, the fact that it comes with a rack as standard, and that feature ...

  Bike Commuting in Columbus — Authority: 113
  Last night, the Hilltop Commission, a neighborhood semi-governmental group in Columbus, voted to recommend against installing bike lanes on its section of West Broad as well as removing the parking lane on the south side of the road . As you probably all know, Im a vehicular cycling advocate. I agree with the ...

  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  Yes indeed, green IS the new black.Whether you’re painting your nails with Chanel (or fake Chanel - the real stuff is rumoured to be going for around £80 a bottle), trying to put some clear green water between your political party and the next, or just trying to ease your conscience after a career of [...]

• Too Painful

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  I’m seeing more and more of these strange little cartoon video things from Xtranormal .For me (seeing as I work in a Kafka novel set on the fringes of local government), the TV series The Office was just too painful - too full of the sort of power-deranged, delusional madness that I saw every day.

• I’m Moving To Portland

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  For some time now, I’ve hankered after building bikes from scratch. I mean, building the whole frame from lengths of steel tubing, and hand-cast lugs. Actually, not from lengths of steel tubing, but from iron ore that I smelted myself, and then converted to steel in a Bessemer converter in my shed, and then rolled ...

• Wet Weather Braking (or not)

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  One of the things about living on the East side of the country is that we’re in the rain shadow of the Pennines. Over the other side is the Lake District - lots of lakes made by lots of rain filling up the valleys. But over here, it hardly ever rains.When it does, however, you [...]

• Sensible Biking Clothes

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  It seems that there’s a gulf between floaty dresses of Copenhagen cycle chic and Lycra road cyborgs. Not that I wear floaty dresses terribly often. And that picture isn’t particularly floaty in the skirt department, but I’m pretty sure that the rider considers it just everyday clothing.Anyway, [...]

• This Christmas, What To Get For The Cyclist Who Has Everything?

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  . . other than a nice new bike, of course. Remember, you can never have too many bikes . . . but these can be a little obvious when wrapped up, and take up a whole bunch of room under the tree.Unless you get a nice foldie-up Brompton of course: There are all sorts of [...]

• Whats the Best Riding Clothing?

  
  Bike Commuting in Columbus — Authority: 113
  One of the questions I get a lot from people who are just beginning on their bike commuting adventure is "what should I wear to ride on my commute?" The question comes from numerous sources: experienced recreational cyclists who are just deciding to start commuting and want to know how I manage with all my spandex ...

• French For Beginners & Cyclists

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  No, not the kind of French lesson that’s of questionable use . . .No, I’m assuming that you’ve got yourself off the quayside and on the ferry to France (or for that matter Quebec) and that you now want to hire a bike.But zut alors ! You don’t speak French.Fear not - the BBC has [...]

• What’s A Bike Cost*

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  I was reading this post over on World Wide Cycles’ blog about the very reasonable prices you can pay for a second hand bike that’s been ridden by Lance Arstrong.At the moment, I’m thinking about building up a tri-bike for next year. I’ve identified a carbon frame in clear lacquer, and I’m starting to sniff ...

• Bike Assembly Errors

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  A bike is an amazingly simple machine. Yet it’s also amazingly easy to put it together wrong - as the folks at ASDA can testify . There was a lot of general sniggering in the press about this at the time, but even apparently ‘professional’ mechanics can make mistakes in putting bikes together.I’m NOT a [...]

• Flying Blind - Spatial Disorientation

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  How about that for a snappy title to grab your attention?No? OK, here’s what I’m talking about. Spatial disorientation can occur in pilots who’ve not been trained to fly-by-the-instruments. On entering dense cloud, they lose visual cues as to which direction is "up", and in just a few minutes end up in the ...

• Number of Bikes Required?

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  If you’re my kind of age, the chances are that you might have spent many a happy Saturday afternoon playing with computers on display in shops. I had hours of fun with this simple BASIC programme:10 Print "This shop really sucks"20 Goto 10The computer screen would fill up with the words "This shop really sucks" [...]

• The Frustration Of Teaching Kids To Ride A Bike

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  Teaching Daughter to ride a few years ago was almost a complete disaster. It became A Thing That I Had To Succeed At - more about me than her, tied up with my ego rather than her enjoyment.Tempers got frayed and we nearly didn’t succeed at all.Apart from the idiot holding the saddle, there was [...]

• Running Out of Excuses

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  I’ve got lapse. Very very lapse.These posts by Andy In Germany and Imagine No Cars reminded me that principals are actually important. More important than convenience.[Whining voice] Somehow that ride to work (15-18 miles) is just too far. Then there are all those local trips - just a few miles, but always in a ...

• The Case For Copulsory Helmets

  
  Do The Right Thing Sweat365 Fitness Community — Authority: 428
  This video via Imagine No Cars :Bicycles For Kids And Those Who Haven’t Grow Up The trouble would be trying to frame the legislation to take account of these sorts of antics. It would have to be something like…All cyclists must wear an approved helmet if attempting crazy manoeuvres / jumps / stunts. This is [...]
