Seen in Hardcore Bikes (HCB), a bicycle shop in Edmonton Alberta 🚴‍♀️
@Natasha_Jay The Bill Nye quote still holds "There’s no machine known that is more efficient than a human on a bicycle," ... "Bowl of oatmeal, 30 miles -- you can’t come close to that."
@koen_hufkens @Natasha_Jay I am more used to calculating in metric units, which are kilometers per raisin bun
@hansvschoot @koen_hufkens @Natasha_Jay - Raisin bun is an SI unit? Cool!
@jmax @hansvschoot @koen_hufkens @Natasha_Jay It is only the UK that still uses the Imperial miles per hot-cross-bun unit.
@the_wub
Let's not talk about the ideas they left in former colonies.
(from last weekend's group ride)
@jmax @hansvschoot @koen_hufkens @Natasha_Jay
@hansvschoot
AFAIK it should be km/kJ i.e. kilometer per kilojoule 😜
@koen_hufkens @Natasha_Jay

@koen_hufkens @Natasha_Jay That is such a great coincidence* that us humans are great at endurance and we can build bicycles!

*actually not a coincidence

@koen_hufkens @Natasha_Jay I think that an E-Bike is more efficient than a human, but I'm not quite sure.
@herdsoft @koen_hufkens @Natasha_Jay
Effective, yes. Efficient for mechanical machines even, but not as efficient as biology
@Natasha_Jay oh, but they’ll get their money in pumps, special clothes, helmets, special tools, tubes - you can’t trick ME HCB!!!! I know your addictive game!!!!
@Natasha_Jay I thought it was like $5.00/cup or something for premium...
@Natasha_Jay That reminds me of this great old cartoon by Robert Ariail.

Schild: Fahrradgas — € 0,-

Darunter eine Luftpumpe.

@oliver_schafeld English "gas" ist nicht "Gas" sondern "Treibstoff".

@dasgrueneblatt

Es kann beides sein.

Dass das Gas in den Fahrradreifen nur Gas und kein Treibstoff ist, weil Fahrräder keinen brauchen, wäre der Witz.

@Natasha_Jay

That's DOUBLE what it was last week!!!😉

@Natasha_Jay there’s still going to be that old dude that demands regular because “you’re not getting him with that”.
@Natasha_Jay
"Bike gas prices" would be a brilliant header for the menu at a sidewalk cafe.

@Natasha_Jay I guarantee they got a bunch of overpriced "fuel" in there they'll be happy to sell you.

Usually tastes like ass too.

@Natasha_Jay @pluralistic I worked for Flexcar back in the day, and when they went out of business, I converted my work jacket with these patches...
@Natasha_Jay True, but one must take it easy on the chick peas to pass the emissions test.
@Natasha_Jay My home town. And if you are going to bike year round here you need snow tires and enough energy for long distances and to get up and down a rather steep river valley on a regular basis (it is basically in the middle of town, great parks and bike trails, but not so easy to get up and down).
