New bikes, er...bike and trike.

K-dizzle's Castro Valley:








We're gittin' some training in on the Hawthorne Trail. It's Gainesville's best paved cycling path. Here's the link:
Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail State Park
The trail has good views of Paynes Prairie Preserve, so be sure to go to the overlooks.

Thundercat HOOOOOOOO!

Fast Electric Car

• 0-60 in 3 seconds (faster than a supercar (shown in this race)). • 1/3 the energy consumption of a hybrid (170 Miles Per Gallon equivalent). • Everything you see is in first gear. • The fast stops are regenerative braking (returning energy to the batteries). Hopefully cars like this from Wrightspeed and Tesla will add a bit of consumer cachet to the electric car category… and accelerate the industry to the future. http://flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/82768989

Secret Weapon in the works...

I just watched Chris Paine's "Who Killed the Electric Car." The movie made me mad that big business interests can control my tax dollars in such a wasteful way. I want to drive an electric car...or at least have the best battery technology available to the market.


Electric car conversions at home.

Not electric, but exciting human powered vehicles...

Impressive Dimensions

Eli has long been making do with undersized frames, but finally got a custom titanium road machine built by XI'AN CHANGDA TITANIUM PRODUCTS CO. I particularly like the throwback Triple-Triangle design from GT, and the GIANT top tube---though he shoulda had a secret compartment put in there for the rocket fuel. Nice work Eli!
