Recent posts: Cycle9: iPhone ebike controlMIT has come up with an interesting take on e-bikes, the Copenhagen wheel. http://ping.fm/gPqzrBenefits:- It's a self-contained electric wheel that replaces your regular bike wheel- ipod/iphone control of the motor- no externally rechargeable battery (= lightweight)- has regen braking, giving a bit of a boost upon taking off from a stopDrawbacks:- Has no externally rechargeable battery, so only helps a bit upon acceleration. Forget help on hills.- probably expensive (though price unknown) Cycle9: 12 Days of12 Days of Christmas Starts Dec 9-Daily specials offered http://ping.fm/pB0Ko Cycle9: Tuesday tweet. 50%Tuesday tweet. 50% off beautiful bicycle art batiks today only! http://www.cycle9.com/c9store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=30&zenid=5679af89014fd6baa8acd9108ae9bdf0 Code TWEETME Cycle9: Tuesday tweet. 50%Tuesday tweet. 50% off beautiful bicycle art batiks today only! http://www.cycle9.com/c9store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=30&zenid=5679af89014fd6baa8acd9108ae9bdf0 Cycle9: It was aIt was a beautiful morning today out on the bike taking my daughter to catch the k-garten bus! Cycle9: Biking Stimulates the SoulToday I had to go into the doctor's office for a diagnostic visit. No food, no drink, and all that. The appointment was mid-morning, located on the other side of town from my home. The car was really, really tempting - it is a cold and cloudy day in Chapel Hill. Last night I stayed up way too late doing some research. And I've caught some kind of cold from my kids. Overall, this combination doesn't exactly lead to an optimistic outlook on life. Cycle9: Interbike wrap-upThe last week of September I had the pleasure to attend the yearly industry show for bike people. It's held, in all places, in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm not sure why an industry that sells products that can be used for sustainable living has its trade show in the most unsustainable city in the US. But then again, a lot of the bike industry is not actually about sustainability. Las Vegas is one of those cities that exemplifies America's extremes in so many ways. Cycle9: Helmet laws are not the answerIt is campaign season again, and there are a number of candidates running for the Board of Aldermen in our sleepy little town of Carrboro, NC (right next to Chapel Hill, NC).  |
