Haha, did not realize I cranked it up so high on the smug thermostat!
Perhaps I should fart in a wineglass and savor the delicate notes?
But, Thomas Friedman is still a tool.

Ye speak the truth and I suppose the durability of concrete also
depends on the climate and vegetation to some degree not to mention
the quality of concrete. Speaking of lighter modes of transit, I've
always thought it would be cool to have a velomobile with and electric

Being a little picky here, but fossil fuels will never totally run

This is part of where I was coming from in that road maintenance can't
be done without petroleum, at least not good asphalt. And boy do we

I agree, the drag on my SON is non-noticeable and even that on the

Absolutely true. I bought from Riv in part because Riv is my LBS.
Peter's recommendation was not specifically to buy from Riv, it was
specifically to buy from the shop I want to patronize. The

anything from Peter White, we

I should point out that Peter White is THE wholesaler for many of the German
lighting products, and Rivendell is not the only outfit that sells these
items at the retail level. We at Hiawatha Cyclery have been selling Schmidt

I had been waiting for review on this 'game changer' but got tired of
waiting and went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Schmidt. Taking
this strongly back to a Rivendell Bicycle Works topic, I did my
research on Peter White's copious pages of webinfo. I asked Peter

IMO, the clutch mechanism dynohub is a solution looking for a

Personally I think a dyno hub is always a good idea, regardless of
season. In the summer (even with long days) it simply extends your
riding and removes daylight limitations... As far as the idea of a
"clutch" mechanism, I haven't been able to noticeably detect drag on

Right, because we all know humans went straight from the stone-age to
