Look At Those Hills – Should Chase Vehicles In The Tour de France Be Electric?

Recently, Tesla Auto had scored highest on the NHTSA tests, nearly a perfect crash test score. How can that be for an all-electric car you ask? Well, I was somewhat taken aback, I really didn’t expect this because electric cars are generally heavy due to the batteries below, and thus, they have to try to make the rest of the car lighter to maintain performance, so how did they do it? Well, modern day materials certainly help, although they also add cost. Apparently, Tesla not only has that going for it, but also some damn good engineering.

How Can We Save Mountain Bikers From Text Messaging Motorists?

Well, I don’t know about you but something about the Google Self-Driving autonomous car just really turns me on. Why you ask? I guess because I’ve always been deeply involved in the auto industry and I realize how dangerous cars can be and how we need to stop killing 30,000 people per year. Not only do we have people die in cars and trucks, but those cars and trucks also hit pedestrians and bicycles. So, autonomous systems in cars or additional sensors might just prevent huge numbers of motorist deaths and save thousands of bicyclists along the way.

Mountain Bike Riding On The Beach – Big Wheels and Big Egos

The other day, I was talking to an individual about how wonderful graphene coatings and carbon nanotubes will be in the future. In fact, we did a little brainstorming, and believe that carbon nanotubes will be great for transportation. Cars will be lighter, therefore more efficient, and therefore they will get better fuel mileage. Likewise bicycles will be quite a bit lighter and will go quite fast exerting very little energy when you’re peddling. The tires of cars may never go flat again, nor will your bike tires. And speaking of bike tires I came up with an interesting concept.

Mountain Bike Drop-In Strategy Using the New Bikedrome Concept

Have you ever gone to a skate park and noticed that the skateboard riders get to drop-in to the various ramps and jumps which have been designed into the skate park?

Further, in some cities it’s far too dangerous to ride your bike to work, or to the store without getting run over.

He also had all the bells and whistles available for his new bike, and even asked me if I wanted his old frame, which I didn’t need.
