My 6th-grader is interested in developing a science project (6 week duration) which involves the bicycle. The Rivendell content requirement is satisfied, I believe, by acknowledging (and appreciating) the legacy of thinkings, writings, and musings accumulated and evolved by Grant and the rest of the team at RBWH which have accumulated on the web site, in the Reader, and now on the Internets over the years.
The foundational question to be defined and ultimately answered is "What is the effect of_________on________? The first blank is a manipulated variable (perhaps tire pressure, clipless pedals, steel, other), with the second blank defining what is to be measured (speed, power, durability, etc.). Since multiple trials will be involved with controls, and the output will be an audio-visual presentation, sign boards, and quantitative data results, he'd like to do something interesting and less obvious than "flat tires roll poorly". The folks on this forum always impress me with their interest and insistence on getting to "why", so if any of you have an idea for a bicycle related (the more directly related to Rivendell and their ethos, the better), project, or a question that might be answered by an eager kid with time, tools, enthusiasm, and a love for his bike, I'd appreciate hearing your ideas. And thank you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
