Spare a thought for the hard-pressed Germans:
Compelled to purchase lowly bicycles as an alternative of vehicles:
Oh, the humanity!
In the meantime within the Netherlands they’ve perfected biking for people so now they’re shifting on to canines:
“If a canine might design a motorbike seat, that is what it could seem like,” claims the narrator:
That is fully unfaithful, and I’ve a schematic for a motorbike seat drawn by an precise canine to show it:
[It just clamps onto the handlebars if you’re wondering.]
Canine prioritize meals, consolation, and waging everlasting warfare towards their sworn enemy the cat, in that order. Sadly this product by no means made it into manufacturing, although it did get the canine a job as an engineer at Lockheed Martin.
As for the USA, a.ok.a. Canada’s furry canine mattress, in contrast to these hard-pressed Germans we soft-middled Individuals all the time discover cash within the couch cushions to spend on vehicles:
And in contrast to the Dutch we’re probably not snug biking with our pets as a result of we’re too preoccupied with helmets–for them:
Canine entry to high quality bicycle helmets has lengthy been one of many greatest issues dealing with our society, if not the whole world, however our greatest and brightest are laborious at work on fixing the issue:
Within the meantime, happily cat helmets are available:
The everlasting warfare between canines and cats has taken an unlimited toll in lives however has additionally yielded some large technological developments.
Talking of bicycle equipment, when the hell was somebody going to inform me the Rev-X is again?!?
And it even has an ACTIVE TURBULATOR!!!
“What the hell is an lively tuburlator?,” you’re in all probability questioning.
Effectively, it’s this:
So mainly some bumps. This will or is probably not the identical idea as these Zipp wheels that used “biomimicry” and had been modeled after a humpback whale’s pectoral fins:
Biking could also be a terrestrial exercise, however greater than some other factor–even gravel–cyclists are obsessive about air. Both we’re making an attempt to get our bikes to go by means of it as easily as doable, or else we’re fretting over how a lot of it we have now in our tires. So we journey round on whale fin wheels with self-inflation techniques:
The machine is named the GRAVAA:
And I’m positive I’m not the one one who thinks it’s about time somebody invented a pair of wheels you must cost:
Between this and your energy meter and your electrical drivetrain and your electrical dropper put up you’ll want to hold a listing of all of the batteries and charging ports in your bike as a result of there’s no method you’ll bear in mind all of them. It’s like making an attempt to recollect the place you place all of the roach baits in your kitchen.
If we might work out a approach to channel the air move across the rim immediately into the valve then we’d actually be onto one thing.
Lastly, I’m a agency believer in free speech, however I’m now not positive it ought to apply to bike opinions:
There actually must be a legislation, as a result of no language deserves this kind of abuse, not even English:
Oh, the humanity.
