RyDoze, a new resource https://www.adkcyclingadvocates.org/resources/ for our readers & riders!

Meet our new friend, Daniel Atlas, editor of http://rydoze.com/ – an in-depth guide and blog posts on biking.

As The Bike to Work Day is approaching (Friday, May 17th, 2019 – https://www.bikeleague.org/content/bike-month-dates-events-0 , these two links will be useful for encouraging the new bike commuter.

Don’t be the Hare, confusing his acceleration, his “speed”, as superior to that of the Tortoise.  Mr. Tortoise KNOWS that the reality of the situation is Miles per Hour = Distance OVER Time.  See formulae below if you’re into the math!*

On a personal note:  The most difficult barrier to such daily riding is Psychological, NOT Physical!  I know this, from my past commute of twenty-five miles (one-way) to work from home in Northern New Jersey!  Through many jobs in many locations, I did not drive to work for 35 years.

* Graphic Distance / Speed / Time relationship

*Acceleration Formula

Acceleration is a measure of how quickly the velocity of an object changes. So, the acceleration is the change in the velocity, divided by the time. Acceleration has a magnitude (a value) and a direction. The direction of the acceleration does not have to be the same as the direction of the velocity. The units for acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s2).

a = acceleration (m/s2)

vf = the final velocity (m/s)

vi = the initial velocity (m/s)

t = the time in which the change occurs (s)

Δv = short form for “the change in” velocity (m/s)
