Random Variable

My theory is that hybrids will be pretty much a fad thing. For the long term, look to bicycle technology for the state-of-the-art in carbon footprint reduction.

We all need relatively speedy transport these days. I believe we will see average bikes whose average speed for the average cyclist will be in excess of 40mph, and within the decade.

That were my thoughts the other day as I perused the racks outside work and noticed that all the cycles parked there were made of aluminium as opposed to my steel alloy rust bucket.

And here comes the news that mathematicians have finally worked out a model that explains ride stability at speed. That it’s 2007, and we only now know something that seems quite trivial should be some indicator of the growing market for cycles.
