This new venture is not intended to replace the site Industrialized Cyclist, but to add to it, a digital notebook of sorts, to capture intriguing bits of information as they fly past, or to just blast out some crazy BS. (I can post to this from my mobile device, for instance.) Please feel free to comment on anything you see here. I will feel free to moderate the comments.

And please continue to visit Industrialized Cyclist for detailed and updated information, on the Bicycling Research Page and the Energy and Transport Page.

Thanks for reading, and have a good one.
