You know that the risk of death in case of an accident increases with 40% if you raise your speed from 90 km/h to 100 km/h? And that more people dies in traffic accidents in rural areas rather than urban? So it's probably not a good idea to drive around at 160+ km/h even if it feels comfortable.

Really sad news, I'm sorry Doug.

No, they are studio monitors. But I doubt they will have several hundred watts hitting them very often during office hours.

Nice setup, makes my old Scirocco Spirits look tiny. :-)

Here it's more like $60, $75 and $90. Thank you state monopoly. :)

Highland Park 12... the first whisky I ever bought... The memories. :O) I like it a lot, but it's a small step up in price to the 15 and 18 here, so I usually go with the 18 when I buy Highland Park. (Usually in this case means about one bottle every two years.) A whisky I would like to try is...

I haven't found a use for the Ipad, my life would probably be better without a tablet.

Peugeot are specialists in small and medium sized, efficient, cars so there's probably no market for them in USA. But they make great diesel engines. Volvo got their diesel engines from PSA (Citroën+Peugeot), at least a few years ago.

Today was probably the hardest cycling day I've ever had so far, first a 26.4 km warm up ride and then heading home to grease the chain, then I took a 87 km trip with mostly climbing. Here's a pic from the last ride. Not very good quality, but it's two elks/mooses or whatever you call them that...

I don't know the exact numbers but I think I've used a cadence around 60-80 for the last few years, it just feels most natural for me. I used higher gears before but that made my knees hurt, now those problem are gone.

Another thing that works great is to hang a LED light from a zipper on the jacket and/or rucksack so it swings back and forth. I agree on the invisible thought, many drivers won't even see you in daylight even if you wear "screaming yellow" colored clothes. Apart from that, a "real" bike jacket...

Todays ride wasn't fun 7 m/s wind from NW and 16 m/s in the gusts... And only 923 meters of climbing. http://app.strava.com/activities/67284733

Thanks, the temperatures has mostly stayed around 13-22 C the last weeks, so it's been pretty much perfect for bike rides.

A picture taken with the phone from Frösön over Oviksfjällen from tonights ride, trying to climb some meters in the Rapha Rising challenge. The road was a bit damp and the temperature about 11 C - but no wind, so it was quite nice.

Some post 1950 technology, that is what it really needs.

It's usually the same thing. Better fuel economy=less emissions.

It sounds like a stupid way to reach certain emission levels, why don't they try some good old engineering work instead?

I have continental premium contact 5 in that exact dimension. They are pretty good allround tires with excellent grip in the wet, but the sidewalls are too soft for my taste, so they kill most of the fun. I would probably go with the Pirelli P7 or something from Nokian if I was shopping for new...

Lovely picture, I sometimes miss when my son was that size. :) But every age has its charm.

I just came home from a short ride, I think I had headwind all the way. :) http://app.strava.com/activities/62787241

I think you should go with the 2014 Ultegra Di2. Rohloff Speedhub seems to be more aimed at MTB's, city- and trekking bikes?

It's kind of my regular route, it's pretty scenic. I prefer when it's a bit up and down as it means I can rest now and then.

Here's my Saturday ride, my Vmax was only 42.76 mph. The weather was great, no wind and perfect temperature. :O)

A Roubaix or Tarmac would definitely be nice, Specialized make some beautiful bikes, unfortunately their local dealer is more interested in selling kid bikes than racing bikes so it's pretty difficult to get a test ride. :/ Besides, the Sempre has been on my radar for about a year, so it wasn't...

My new baby ;-) I only rode it home from the shop today. It's already very comfortable, but I'll have a proper bike fit next week. It'll be interesting to see what difference it makes.

Here's my second take. 531 bytes + that it validates without warnings, unlike my first attempt. <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>David Drueding</title> <style> body, a {background:#000;color:#fff;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;} </style> </head>...

OK, I don't know if it's "the most elegant"... but it's something. <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>David Drueding</title> <style type="text/css"> body{ background-color:#000; color:#fff; text-align:center; } a{ text-decoration:none; color:#fff; } </style> </head> <body>...

Congratulations!

Nevermind, I just realised I mixed up, I somehow got confused and got Charles Bronson and Chuck Norris mixed up... but Chuck would surley finish the tunnel in 6 years.

I don't think so, then it would only take 6 years to finish. ;) Very impressive projects, both of them.

I think it's pretty OK here (and in Denmark), with some exceptions. http://translate.google.se/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dn.se%2Fnyheter%2Fsverige%2Fstinkande-bussresenar-i-uppsala-lovar-battring&act=url

Pretty good public transport commercial from Denmark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFBEKt-WCT8

All I know is that I would get bored if I lived for 1000 years. The only upside would be that I could have a realistic chance to save money for an Ferrari F40. :) But look at the sharks, they live for 20-30 years, and they have been around for >400 million years. I think the ideal lifespan...

I'm only 13 mentally, physically I'm almost 40.

The problem with that reasoning is that we, just like any other animal on this planet, only exists to reproduce. Our children are smarter than us and their children will be even more intelligent. The upside with living for 1000 years is that we'd have pretty much experience, but we would...

Most religions should be updated. It's been a while since the Bible and Quran was written and the world has changed a bit in the last 1500-2000 years. I don't think the catholic church is the only place where you find pedophiles, you'll probably find them in situations where they train or work...

Perhaps the catholic church should just let their priests get married? That way they could do their wives instead of the altar boys or the females in the parish.

-40C can be pretty nice and +5C can be a torture, it depends on the circumstances.

Whatever it is, we should probably get ready for more.

Perhaps they'll name the second generation Thunder bowels? It sounds quite powerful.

Perhaps we'll be using DNA as storage in the future? :) http://www.livescience.com/26511-shakespeare-stored-in-dna-files.html

Perhaps it's usable as a phone for a 5 year old kid or something?

I don't know why I came to think of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT3_UCm1A5I

I'm glad to hear that. Congratulations :)

It's no problem with the right clothes, the shoes are supposed to work between +5 and -35C, the rest is just a question of adding layers.

Yes, but it's not any worse than people who does cross country skiing in that temperature. Besides, -15C here doesn't feel as cold as -15 feels by the coast. The biggest problem is that I don't have a proper winter lube so the chain and gears gets stuck when it gets down to about -20. But that...

It's -15C (5F) here today, a bit chilly but I only have a 10-15 minute commute so it's OK. But I wouldn't go on a 32 mile ride, at least not without warmer clothes and ski goggles.
