I hate reading the comments sections when a cyclist is hit by a driver clearly at fault. Too many tools out there who somehow feel the cyclist is at fault. This would have been even more deadly if a compact car had entered the intersection at speed and been T-boned by that SUV. You wouldn't...

Ouch. Saw this article in the news this morning. Looks like the cyclist had timed the light perfectly and had a decent speed entering the intersection. The light had clearly changed as the bus starts moving before the cyclist enters the intersection. Fortunately, the injuries are described...

Noticed this doozy in the linked article...

The comments on the hackaday site are typical to the site, they aren't a stab at Justin. For instance: the arduino and linux comments are running in-jokes on the site, someone later gives him his props for using a microcontroller to run the logic of his controller.

The URL in your link is malformed for me. A ... series replaces what must be the majority of the file path.

Is it here? Same energy required, heat flow is faster due to increased temperature differential to ambient. Right?

That's the speedometer. The mini has an eccentric instrument layout; so this peculiarity isn't due to the electric drive train.

I might be seeing it wrong, but that looks to me like a parking lane, with a bicycle lane outside of the parking lane. We have those on a few residential collectors here. You have about 12' striped off as the 'bike lane', but parking is allowed at the curb. Cyclists suggesting a 500W power...

It's all about the timing. If he had unloaded 6 rounds into the kid all at once it's self-defense; there would be no questions. From the security video, it appears the pharmacist hit the kid with one of his first shots, then pursued the armed robber out of the pharmacy, returned, retrieved a...

Hannu's Boatyard is a list of experiments in minimalist plywood stitch-&-glue boat construction (as little as one-sheet of plywood for some of his designs). One of his recommended links is to Carlson's Hull Designer, which will take a simple hard chine hull and translate it to cutting patterns...

That's a standard government website disclaimer/notice. If it is on the accessible side of the web it is alright to access. Every once in a while someone puts something in the publicly accessible space that didn't belong there, but generally by the time it is posted it has been reviewed for...

Hypothetically they are. Their latest victim >er, investor/licencee< is a light electric vehicle company planning to produce 2-wheel and 3-wheel electric vehicles. I think someone posted it here a couple of weeks ago. Found it: EEStor Rides Again, This Time on a Bike!

We discussed the problem very briefly on the Goldenmotor forums, but bernix is much more comfortable speaking in French, and I don't remember anything from high school, so I recommended he ask around in here so some of our Francophones could respond in kind. I may have understood wrong, but...

I'm not sure I follow what you are trying to ask or state here. I think it is more of a non-sequitor than an argument. That would be like saying an AMA Superbike is the perfect argument for limiting mopeds to 30mph. They are in completely different classes and do not compare. A motorcycle...

No reliable contact. sales@goldenmotor.com is their sole face to the world, and often goes unanswered if the guy on the other end doesn't feel interested that day. More than the delivery time frame was the reliability issues and lack of response. They seemed to have a worse initial no-go rate...
