speed records for bicycles
alocispepraluger102 replied to alocispepraluger102's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
the strength, fitness, reflexes, equipment, and balls to go 55 mph on a bike are beyond my comprehension. hitting a pebble could be fatal. their heart rates must have been stupendous, as well. -

at 25 mph i feel like i'm flying. from wilkipedia--- Speed record on a bicycle The record for the fastest speed on a bicycle is the fastest that a person could go on a two wheeled bicycle. The table below shows the records that people have attained while riding bicycles. Name Year Speed Type of record Sam Whittingham 2009 133 km/h (83 mph) Flat surface, unpaced[1] Barbara Buatois 2010 121 km/h (75 mph) Flat surface, unpaced (woman)[1] Fred Rompelberg 1995 268 km/h (167 mph) Flat surface, motor-paced[2] Bruce Bursford 1996 334 km/h (208 mph) Riding on a roller[3] Markus Stöckl 2011 164.95 km/h (102.50 mph) Downhill on a volcano, on a serial production bicycle.[4] Eric Barone 2002 172 km/h (107 mph) Downhill on a volcano, on a prototype bicycle[5] Markus Stöckl 2007 210.4 km/h (130.7 mph) Downhill on snow, on a serial production bicycle[6] Eric Barone 2000 222 km/h (138 mph) Downhill on snow, on a prototype bicycle[7] [edit]History of unpaced records The International Human Powered Vehicle Association (IHPVA) acts as the sanctioning body for new records in human-powered land, water and air vehicles. It registers non motor paced records (also called unpaced) which means that the bicycle directly faces the wind, without any motor paced vehicle in front. On land, the speed record registered by a rider on a 200 meter flying start speed trial is 133.28 km/h (82.82 mph) by the Canadian Sam Whittingham riding the Varna Tempest, a streamliner recumbent bicycle in year 2009[1] at Battle Mountain, Nevada. The woman record holder for this same category was Lisa Vetterlein who reached 107.16 km/h (66.59 mph) in 2005. This record was beaten by the French woman Barbara Buatois when she reached 121.44 km/h (75.46 mph) at Battle Mountain, Nevada in 2009.

albums where the rhythm-section is the real draw
alocispepraluger102 replied to Rooster_Ties's topic in Miscellaneous Music
motian and peacock have recorded a number of trio albums over a long time span with literally dozens of pianists. the main attraction, to me, was almost always the 2. -
which musical instruments could best be paired with wind turbines to make a nice free jazz recording? i'm sure we'll get a miles and wind turbine recording with some old 6th grade tapes found in the janitor's room at his schoolhouse. but then, frank lowe was so breathy; i would have loved to have heard him tackle the whine of windmills, or whatever they are called. let's hope rova tackles this task.

He'll be 28 in May. How old is that in fat guy years? Years? Still 28. Knees? That remains to be seen... i've been asserting the 'fatman' issue, with absolutely no success, concerning cc for 7 years. -
show us your creativity and imagination. i use a very simple rca pearl TH 1702 and carry with me a 500 gig ext. toshiba drive of my home recordings and thousands of hours of jazz shows and several current recordings of financial and electronics shows. i wouldn't recognize or need an ipod if i found one.

i heard distressing news today that the ny giants targetted kick returner kyle williams because he had had 4 previous concussions and would be easy to knock out of the game. this quote, of course, will be 'misquoted' and 'inaccurate.' this comment came from the giants fumble recovery man devon thomas.

i enjoy watching football most in solitude, with the redundant sound, commercials, and captions mute. that way, i can soak in the beauty, irony, joy, and tragedy of the games, the magnificent athletes, and the fallibility of split second decisions made by very competitive young men in the heat of battle. i disdain crowds and the noise of athletic events.

plus the place kicker ran really late out onto the field. he couldn't get his pants off or something. i wonder whar the raveies were saving their timeouts for? what don't you like about the g-men?
