Proportionate response is a concept lost on local emergency services sometimes, pretty funny fiasco watching an entire local fire department & 3 police cars respond to a fallen rider on the bike path, he was fu***ng fine, I talked to him and tried to convince him to walk out, his womanfolk was not trusting my assessment that worrying after his rather nice bike was proof enough no real damage to his dome was done by the TKO....expensive mistake that, solved a bunch of people boredom watching reruns though. Heard all the commotion from my driveway and rode back down to see how he was doing, pretty funny, dude looked as embarrassed as a kitten getting pulled down from a tree.

Speed kills....

L’immagine mostra i risultati di un esperimento in cui una piccola sfera di alluminio del diametro di 12 mm (più o meno le dimensioni di un’unghia) e del peso di 1,7 grammi è stata scagliata contro un blocco di alluminio spesso 18 centimetri. Per sparare quella sferetta si è impiegato un dispositivo particolare, in grado di farla viaggiare a circa 6,8 km al secondo (più o meno 24500 km orari).
Il test serviva a verificare cosa succede quando un piccolo frammento di “spazzatura spaziale” colpisce un’astronave. Il risultato è impressionante: la sferetta non solo riesce a scavare un cratere profondo 5,3 centimetri e largo 9, ma lascia una pesante impronta anche negli strati più profondi del bersaglio. Non ci si deve meravigliare per i bordi rialzati; in un simile impatto, infatti, si raggiungono temperature di 6000 gradi e pressioni superiori ai 365 GigaPascal, condizioni più estreme di quelle presenti nel centro del nostro pianeta.

...what are the economic "disruptors" to do now that no one wants to share? Hope they save the bikes, have to admit, the frame design was kind of cool.

UPDATE 5/26: It doesn’t get more real than this. Heard the decision may lie with instead of . Maybe someone has a contact that can see value in a better outcome? Keep the message going! 👧👦 pic.twitter.com/TeMIpQ1hi3 — Cris Mo...

The world depicted in 40 years of car advertisements I've seen is now a reality and it is terrifying....with cheap gas and empty roads packs of sports cars terrorize the blacktop on the beautiful back roads I am lucky to live aroun in PA on the weekends, would be fun to ride pavement for a change but I don't dare so sticking to the muddy trails.

Traffic has dropped by 50% on average in Massachusetts amid the coronavirus pandemic, but the rate of fatalities on the state's roads doubled in April, according to MassDOT. Officials say there are likely two reasons for the troubling trend: Speed and distracted driving.
