Bike links

From Shadow:

  • Bike to Beard ratio, although frankly this can be applied to pretty much anything.
  • this picture of an Audi e-bike concept bicycle. This The Verge article on Audi's concept bike makes a few claims that are difficult to believe: "lightweight 3.53-pound carbon fiber construction" must be missing at least the tires, batteries and motors, it claims speeds of up to 51MPH with a combination of pedaling and motor, but 30MPH with motor alone, which seems to be ignoring that pesky squared relationship with wind resistance. I do like the notion of a programmable wheelie mode, with user-adjustable wheelie angles.
