Wow. The New York Times has dropped any pretense of objectivity in this article on the bicycling habits of Bush and Kerry that's mostly just a "Bush is really studly on his mountain bike and Kerry's one of those Spandextm wearing road bike weanies" piece, and that uses the Drudge Report as a source for Kerry quotes. That's really freakin' sad.

I wonder if this is not an instance of the reader seeing what they want. The NYT is well known for not![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
being objective, in fact. Here they seem to simply state facts and that is seen as biased?
I also wonder about bicycles with names like 'Fuel' - seems backwards it does.
I was wondering if a bicycle with a gyroscope, which got its motion from the peddleing, would keep the bicycle upright without a kick stand? And if said gyroscope had a mechanism to 'tilt' it, would allow for easier/more responsive turning?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
