Two air pumps were recently installed. So “moronic state legislator of the day” is a cheap and easy excuse for a post, but this is a new-to-me innovation in the increasingly fantastical world of Republican Science. There are a lot of opinions about why cramping occurs and everyone has their own advice when the topic comes up. David Gordon Wilson is British born Professor of Mechanical Engineering Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My general tendency is to blame cars for everything, including this—and science validates that too. Well, it's my brain on bicycling science, anyway. KQED did a piece about the science of riding a bicycle which featured our work here at Davis and the Hall of Fame museum exhibits. Surely someone was keeping track of whether bike helmets were keeping up with medical science. For more on their trip, visit Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation Blog. Bicycle-helmet standards were first developed in the 1950s by the Snell Memorial Foundation in Sacramento, California. After doing a little investigation I found out that the City of Vancouver spent $6,000 on two European bicycle pumps. You know what else validates these feelings? The Science and Politics of Bicycle Driving. This is a very technical story with a surprising ending. For the second leg of their trip, they are bicycling through Europe and recording roadkill observations for theASC Roadkill Survey for Road Bikers. A well designed bicycle traveling at the right speed will steer itself--no rider required. Feel free to skip the mundane part. Here's the mundane technical part. Bicycles are human-powered vehicles capable of significant speed.
