Tests have shown that up to 16 mp/h, the small wheel is more efficient that a big wheel. Between 16 and 33 mp/h there is little difference. Over 33 mp/h the gyroscopic effect of the big wheel makes it more effective. Most folks do not go over 33 mp/h.

Randy has got a mountain bike, he has lost weight and he is very competitive, he's got a personal time trial course and is putting some effort into improving his time, he wants to know how well he's doing, or he's just showing off! Either way we give him something to think about. Steve has asked us a very difficult question about tires and rims, he has caught us out on this occasion, but we do give our opinion and hope this is enough to help Steve to decide on new tires.

How fast do you want to go? You're driving! How fast you go depends on you and your abilities, and higher speeds will come with knowledge and experience. While we encourage participants to find their limits, every student is coached at their individual comfort level. We also start with a variety of driving exercises geared to teach you the basics of car control. Only after you've established a solid foundation will you be able to drive to the best of your abilities.

Like learning to climb a hill, you will need to train for a while until you are able to keep up. Don't expect to just hop on and go as fast as you used to, or you'll be disappointed. Rest assured, eventually you'll be able to keep up. And, you'll be a lot more comfortable than they are! It also depends on the type of recumbent you ride. Some models are more comfort-oriented, while others are designed for speed.

This may take some work, but unless your friend is named Lance Armstrong, you'll eventually be able to keep up. It will take a few weeks or months of training to get your muscles in shape, but you can do it. They may pull ahead on uphill climbs, but you will fly past them on the downhill. You'll most likely be able to keep pace with them on flat or rolling land. Also remember that some trikes are better suited for speed than others.

No. Wilderness regulations forbid any wheeled or motorized vehicles from entering the Wilderness Area.

We do not stipulate any brand of bike, and indeed many types of bikes have been used to do this journey, including Harleys, scooters, small enduro bikes etc. However, the bike you use determines the pace of travel and how comfortable you will be. In order to get the most from the expedition, we advise you to use a capable "dual-purpose"-type motorcycle, with sturdy, lockable panniers.

A hard cover travel case costs about $275 from Bike Nashbar or Performance Bicycle mail order companies. Your local bike shop may rent cases, if you prefer to use one, but don’t want to purchase it. For tours that do not begin and end in the same city, there will be a US$30 bike travel case transfer fee. Boxing is inexpensive, but there is some risk of damage to your bike. The most susceptible parts are the front and rear dropouts where the wheel axles attach to the bike.

The Colonix program does not require any fasting. It is designed to work well in conjunction with most diets; the majority of Colonix users do not fast or change their diets while doing the cleanse.

While faster on delivery time depends on how close your are to Pittsfield, MA, your order still needs to be processed, pulled and packed and in some cases made. Your order on rare occasions can take up to two weeks to arrive depending where you are and the speed of the mail service. When shipping out side the USA, orders can longer (we ask that you insure any orders outside the USA).

Like the barbiturates, benzodiazepines differ from one another in how fast they take effect and how long the effects last. Shorter-acting benzodiazepines include alprazolam (Xanax), midazolam (Versed), oxazepam (Serax), triazolam (Halcion). Intermediate-acting benzodiazepines include clonazepam (Klonopin), lorazepam (Ativan), quazepam (Dormalin), temazepam (Restoril), bromazepam (Lexotan), estazolam (ProSom).

Most of our standard jib cranes have a 2-week lead-time. Other time requirements apply to special or modified cranes and our large jib cranes. Please contact us for lead times on specific products. The rated capacity of the jib is the maximum "live load" the jib can pick up. A typical hoist and trolley weight is assumed and added to the rated capacity for design purposes. These assumed weights are 15% of the rated capacity and are not considered part of the "live load".

It's not how fast you go, it's how fast you stop. Head loads are created by the "G" force of deceleration in the driver's compartment. The crash test is run at only 35mph, but the steel sled, with no "crumple zone", stops in about 12 inches (30cm). The next time you are driving on the street at that speed, imagine stopping that fast. That's you stopping that fast, not your front bumper. This impact creates a load on the upper neck that is twice the lethal limit. (Go to top)
