Steve
There was a blurp on the TV news the other night, and I don't know if it was local or out of state,
and it showed a bunch of cyclists that had what appeared,
to be BRIGHT colored pool noodles bungee corded on the rear of their bikes,
the long end was towards the traffic side.
I caught a very little of the information,
but the gist of it was, that that distance was the safe passing distance for a cycle,
the long end distance appeared to be 3-4' etc.

I watch later that night and never see any more info on it.

Tia,
Don

OH yes I saw soemthing about that a while ago!

Yes. But my Artistic assignment is to add additional wire snarls everywhere. Every where. Enough for 12 bikes. It makes a strong artistic statement! On any ride. In an original way. This project has a ecological side benefit, as small rodents will have a place to nest and have something good to eat. I love all the uncut zip ties and conflicting colors of housings. Did you note the double curly ques at the gear sensor? With three colors of zip ties? This Bad is hard to achieve. It takes effort. You got'ta give the guy credit. Actually, my humble job is only to make the bike shift.

HaHa! While your setup is perfectly functional the way it is, you could dress it up a bit by doing this:

Instead of making coils with the cable slack, form it into long loops and fold it parallel to the other cables & chainstay. Then use this orange spiral wrap to encase everything.

Use orange zip ties to hold it in place. The spiral wrap offers some protection by eliminating the coils which could snag on something.

I love the orange color BTW!

You probably didnt know but as luck would have it.. Orange is a vermin deterrent color.. No worries on next as the Halloween color will keep them away...

Weird?

My January activity ( according to Google ) Walking, Biking and Driving.

3 km​

927 km 44 hr​

193 km 7 hr​

This is not bad considering we had over a week of snow and ice but our bikes show higher kms. For example today the bikes showed we did 95 and 97 kms but Google says we did only 85.4 ? Anyways onwards and upwards!

 

[PedalUma]

only 85.4

I will bet that you did the 85.4 on a two dimensional map, not a topographical one. I bet it also did not account for swerving around, only average liner progress.

Maybe you are correct as I have no other explanation. (-:

I have taken pics of these Cars of the Day before but what blows my mind is that the owner seems to have all six of these vintage cars insured at the same time and leaves them parked on the street? Good thing he has a corner lot.

That is just sickening.

You can park six of these in the space of two normal cars but the combined passenger capacity is less than one full size sedan (-:

Hey, @Art Deco! I have a riddle for you: What is yummy and clears canyons of fire hazards while frolicking in the sun?
