| | Oiling the Bicycle | | 2008-06-07 14:00:41 | | In the basic economic theory of supply and demand, prices rise when there are more people wanting to buy than there is capacity for sellers to sell. Likewise, when there is a glut of product available prices fall to entice more buyers. So much for theory. How does this apply to oil? The world's demand for oil is not subject to such simple laws. Despite the USA's dominance in world consumption, growth in demand in China and India particularly over the last decade has surged. It must be said that much of this increased consumption is simply from the displacement of industry from the west to the east; as factories close in Birmingham and open in Guangzhou, the requirement for oil to fuel production and transport moves too. But the increased opulence and rapid move to a more capitalist culture in the Indian subcontinent and the Far East have also accelerated local demand for oil too. Meanwhile, the West remains largely reliant on its familiar fuel sources and, while prices ha | | By: NoBollocksPolitics | | |

| | Tuscany on a bicycle | | 2008-05-14 04:18:00 | | It is just over 40 miles from Siena to Florence by the direct route, but who wants direct when you’re in Chianti? We divided it into four stages – three nights, three hotels, three dinners – a slow progress northward on the skinniest roads, some paved, others dirt tracks.How much cycling we tackled was a matter of debate over breakfast each morning. There was always a choice of routes – on day one they varied between 11 and 28 miles. And the one we chose was invariably a little longer than planned, thanks to wrong turns and detours. But distances were not the point. We were cycling through some of Europe’s most delectable countryside, crossing steep hills and blessed valleys, sloping vineyards and rocky scarps – and passing some of the most coveted real estate in the world. It is easy, with all that has been said and written about Tuscany, to forget just how seductive the place can be. It was a delight to be reminded.

| | Mr. Claude Marthalir traveled by bicycle across Africa | | 2008-03-19 15:19:00 | | The nice aspects of African customs and traditions we are familiar with to one degree or another. In fact state media often speak about the good aspects to the point of overdoing it. So my highlights here tend towards the critical aspects.Smuggling goes everywhere. Fuels are one, for instance. They come in all sorts of containers: Jerry cans, soda bottles. The author describes the phenomenon as "shortage compensated by excesses everywhere. Quality and reason are luxury when these stomach cries." What he meant was that there is fuel in excess in the major cities and towns, with shortages in peripheral areas prompting smuggling.

| | More problems with the bicycle contract in Luxembourg City | | 2008-03-10 17:18:15 | | The free bicycle system - and the contract with JC Decaux - is still fuelling the political debate in Luxembourg City. Some of the MUPIs (Mobilier Urban pour l'information) were removed, and it seems that others will follow, because their location was said to be dangerous for traffic visibility. A written approval from the Ministry of Culture is also missing, according to the opposition. "This fairy tale comes from people who have no clue about public tenders", says the City Council.The result of all this is obvious: the City will have to loose a lot of money to honor the contract with JC Decaux, and the opposition will have a very good argument for the coming election, although they don't seem to have any solutions or a positive attitude towards pollution or traffic increase (the bicycles are not to supposed to solve any traffic or pollution problems, they're just a very good way to start changing, to say "we care, we are aware of the problem, we are doing something").

| | JCDecaux in Luxembourg and the bicycle contract | | 2008-02-28 05:01:36 | | The bicycle agreement with JCDecaux has started a political discussion in Luxembourg City. The ten-year contract for the self-service bicycles signed by the City government is being questioned by the biggest opposition party (CSV). In exchange for the 250 self-service bicycles and 25 docking stations, the French company sold the city 80 new advertising panels (or MUPI, Mobilier Urbain Pour l’Information). A previous contract had already granted JC Decaux the instalation of 200 bus shelters. This deal is said to be economically disadvantageous for the City, and the number of MUPI too high and visually polluting, even dangerous for traffic visibility in some places.

The Garmin 205 is great. It's way better than any other cyclocomputer I've used, and I've been riding for 10+ years. No magnets needed, no calibration. Move it from bike to bike in 2 seconds and go. I own 4 different bikes, and this one Garmin unit goes on them all. You can even use it for running. Just stick it in a pouch or MP3 player armband thingy and go.

So in 1994 I joined Breaking Away Bicycle Tours to see my first Giro. They've been doin' it right for almost 25 years, so I talked with founder Greg Hogan about what makes them so good.

| | Bicycle Canteens of Hyderabad | | 2008-01-18 07:48:00 | | Bicycle canteens are the cheapest source of food in Hyderabad serving a specific segment of customers comprising of daily wage workers and other low income group population.2 idlies (1 plate) costs Rs 25 inside Prasad's iMax while few meters away, on tank bund road, these bicycle canteens sell as much as 5 idlies for just five rupees. That's an idly a rupee. I do not intend to make any positive or negative remarks about the hygiene factor or quality of ingredients used because I haven’t cross checked the same. But it appears there’s no such compromise on these parameters and these vendors operate on wafer this margin. I did eat once at such a shop and taste was decent. The same food will cost 10 times more inside iMax (or other posh malls/hotels) mainly because of overheads (rent, electricity, advertising, tax, salaries etc besides higher profit margins). They are quite self sustained and eco friendly. They do collect all waste papers and leftovers and take them back home to dispose at proper place. I haven’t found them spoiling the environment except customers washing their hands..Haven’t found such canteens (operated on cycles) in other cities like Chennai or Bangalore, though we get to see canteens on four wheeled carts in all cities.Each cycle is fully loaded-with two containers carrying chutney in front, one big drum in the back (on luggage carrier) containing idlies, dosas and vadas, a big plastic bag hooked to left side which is to be used as dust bin, a plastic can hung to the seat carrying water (a mineral water bottle will be refilled from water in this can-and water is all purpose- for drinking, for washing hands and to dilute the chutney if required :) ) There can be additional bags and facilities to keep paper sheets (which serve as plates) and other accessories.Not sure how much profit they make. With very low inventory carrying capacity, I think they can serve around 100-150 customers max with the food they can carry at once. Assuming a 10% | | By: eNidhi - A professional amateur | | |

Bell's Smart Fit system helps to ensure a comfortable fit, while the PinchGuard buckle is specially designed to prevent you from pinching your neck as you secure the helmet. It comes with a detachable visor. Bicycles Shop Affordable bike helmet offers stylish protectionTen top vents and three rear vents for a cool rideSmart Fit system helps to ensure a comfortable fitPinchGuard buckle specially designed to prevent from pinching your neckHelmet doesn't adjust properly!Although this item is indicated to a range of sizes (and I picked a size with a similar range to my current bike helmet), this helmet just could not adjust to fit properly. There is no "band" around the head to adjust fit. So, although one could adjust the neckstrap to make the helmet more snug-seeming, it will never fit around your head properly (unless your head is the EXACT size).With the fit of this helmet, frankly it isn't safe! This helmet I'm promptly returning.Excellent value So much less than the other helmets i looked at, and it's perfect. Fit's great and looks good, except for aesthetics, I don't see any reason to spend more.helmetI have enjoyed this helmet. It fits on my head very well. I like the little visor that came with it. It helps with blocking out the sun's rays. Technorati tags: Bicycles, Bicycle, Helmet. | | By: Bicycle Reviews | | |

Just the right size for my 3yr old son! Actually, all of my 3 kids have just loved it. My oldest is six and she can ride it as well. Only downfall is that it only lasted a year. The chain keeps coming off and it would be much more expensive to fix than to replace. My two year old has figured it out and I may buy another one for him this Christmas. PS...Of course it has no breaks! These bikes are only meant to train babies!!! Whoever leaves their two year olds unattended while riding is an unresponsible parent anyways!Great Bike I would recommend this bike to anyone. We bought this bike for my daughter on her 2nd birthday in August. My daughter is more petite than children her age and this bike was just right for her at this age now and will be perfect next summer when we take her out riding. She LOVES the bell (as does all the children around) and can easily maneuver the bike around corners. It looks like a classy bike. Both parents and children have complimented the bikes appearance and quality.Love to ride My son got this bike for his 3rd birthday...it is great!

MURATA BOY is a self balancing robot that is packed with electronics to allow it to have extraordinary balancing capabilities. The specs are impressive especially considering the small size of the unit however watch the videos, they are something else!
Videos and more pictures after the jump.
“The little guy does not fall down, even when he comes to a complete stop. And, it’s not training wheels keeping him up, but a gyro sensor located underneath his seat that detects tiny movements to calculate the slanting angle of the body. Once the angle is figured out, a large rotating disc in the robot’s chest generates force to correct the slant.”
