From the ad copy: "The innovative design allows you to capture all of

power plant that will sit on your back wheel."

Hmm. Well, I usually want _some_ of the energy from my pedaling to go
into propelling the bike. But OTOH:

"The Atom is your ability to have an infinite amount of power."

Holy cow! Infinite power! More power than a supernova! We can forget
about piddling things like solar energy, wind energy. We can forget all
about burning fossil fuels. Someone should buy just one of these, and
solve all the world's energy problems!

But do remember to throttle it back a bit. We really don't want a local
supernova.

If that is the usual emerge recovery system it won't ever solve the
world's energy crisis as the energy expended to walk/run/pedal up a
hill is more then the energy that can be recovered descending so
unless you have a route with a net downhill quotient you always have a
net energy loss.

Perpetual motion is still a legend and we are safe from super-nova
bicycles

I can see that it would increase conspicuity, until it wore off. But
I'd be surprised if it lasted very long on fabric.

And I note that most of the images shown are head on or side views of
bicyclists directly in headlight beams. I'm not aware of any data
indicating those views matter much. Head on should matter primarily to
wrong-way riders, and side view only if the cyclist is standing in front
of a car; otherwise, he'll move out of the car's path before the car
arrives. The rear view of the cyclist is what usually matters, and ISTM
that's adequately dealt with by a proper taillight plus a few reflective
bits.

I'm pretty skeptical of a car company selling something bicyclists are
supposed to use to protect themselves against cars and their drivers.
How about educating motorists about their responsibility, and enforcing
the same? Already, Estonia mandates reflectors for pedestrians. France
mandates high visibility clothing for cyclists under certain conditions.
One California legislator is calling not only for all-ages mandatory
helmets, but also for high-vis clothing. It's a bad trend.

Will we soon have "The injured cyclist was not wearing day-glow
clothing, his bike was not sprayed with reflective paint, and he was not
using a high-powered daytime strobe light"?


A better idea (not solution) if people wanted to be more conspicuous, is
to not rely on incident light from the car headlights to reflect back to
the drivers eyes, but to generate light from moving parts of the bike
and rider.

Apply some of this to your shoes, maybe as large dots on your rims,
perhaps the cranks even. If you wear a helmet, it might void the
compliance, so best not apply it there.

Supernovae have advantages I suppose. You'll eventually
reduce to a singularity and be better able to slip between
lanes of traffic.

Have a nice day,

I WUZ ADVISED twice in 2 days that a grandfather was a Sooner.

At this time, I do not know Janet Guthrie. I do not know Janet Guthrie. I am impressed by the Guthrie on ramp ....

I watched Janet drive, she was fast.

The land is more subtle than what I'm familiar with, the Rockies/Cortez/Gulf/Chihuahua ecosystems interactions unclear...I'm at Salt Lake with a quake cycle at west and east points. Weather is toward Medicine Lodge, Amarillo 1066 is deserted as is Black Mesa. The dimensions and landforms are unknown known's.

I went thru Covington looking to a recent quake 36.32700°N 97.56400°W
finding an electrical stimulation of skin and skin hair approaching thru the school naborhood

Denver and I spoke abt local EQ. He suggested bird sites coming up with Walmart...and pointed out the crack.

Grackles are the Walmart State Bird.

Fine spring day

A quake quaked while I was speaking to the Ranger and staff inside the HQ. The HQ's hung ceiling light panels rattle when quaked. I did not feel the quake, the staff was caught in motion.

Another failing of soft-shell lids. Composites generally get stronger
with age, and the thermoset matrix and fiber reinforcement are generally
inert to chemical attack (unlike EPS which is attacked by most petroleum
fractions).
