The guys at Old Town Bike Shop in Colorado Springs have built up a lot of bikes for me over the years, most of them fairly utilitarian, loaded touring machines, the pickup trucks of the cycling world. Many have had a certain je ne sais quoi, and a few have been downright handsome. But “cool?” That’s not a word that leaps to mind when you’re evaluating the dubious charms of an Ford F-150.

  • Making a Pedal Pitch - Possible Research Topics the Following Are Some Ideas for Guiding a Brainstorming Session
    Intel® Teach Program Designing Effective Projects Making a Pedal Pitch - Possible Research Topics The following are some ideas for guiding a brainstorming session. Numbering corresponds to exercise numbers. 1. Wheel diameter: Is it possible to fill front panniers so full that the bags limit the turning radius of the bicycle? What is the turning radius needed for streets that intersect at various angles? Does the size of the wheel affect the turning radius (compare a BMX bicycle with a mountain bicycle)? Is there a relationship between wheel diameter and coasting distance? 2. Banking of race courses: Calculate the speeds for which a particular bicycle racecourse or velodrome is designed. 3. Reading and making graphs: Create a time and distance graph to describe a summer biathlon competition (cross-country cycling and marksmanship). Create a time and distance graph to describe an Ironman Triathlon (running, swimming, cycling) 4. Bicycle falling over: Has a bicycle or tricycle falling over been used in comedy? Do they fall over at fast or slow speeds? Why are bicycle helmets needed? Who wears them … in your community, in your state, nationally? For a child, teen, or adult, what is the sitting height on a typical tricycle or bicycle for each age group (hot wheels, small bicycle, BMX, trail bicycle, touring bicycle, racing bicycle, an old fashioned bicycle with large front wheel and small back wheel, unicycle)? What are safe ways to transport a child using a bicycle? Is a child safer seated behind the rider, in front of the rider (using a specialized seat and pedals), in a towed cart?

  • Transmission (Mechanics) - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 119 PM
    Transmission (mechanics) - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 119 PM Transmission (mechanics) A transmission is a machine in a power transmission system, which provides controlled application of the power. Often the term 5 speed transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.[1][2] In British English, the term transmission refers to the whole drivetrain, including clutch, gearbox, prop shaft (for rear-wheel drive), differential, and final drive shafts. In American English, however, the term refers more specifically to the gearbox alone, and detailed Single stage gear reducer usage differs.[note 1] The most common use is in motor vehicles, where the transmission adapts the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. Such engines need to operate at a relatively high rotational speed, which is inappropriate for starting, stopping, and slower travel. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process. Transmissions are also used on pedal bicycles, fixed machines, and where different rotational speeds and torques are adapted. Often, a transmission has multiple gear ratios (or simply "gears") with the ability to switch between them as speed varies. This switching may be done manually (by the operator) or automatically. Directional (forward and reverse) control may also be provided. Single-ratio transmissions also exist, which simply change the speed and torque (and sometimes direction) of motor output. In motor vehicles, the transmission generally is connected to the engine crankshaft via a flywheel or clutch or fluid coupling, partly because internal combustion engines cannot run below a particular speed.
