About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

Ha! This is really funny. I am not German, but I have discovered that socks and sandals are the most comfortable and practical footwear for bike touring. The socks wick away the sweat which can then dry, so your feet don't get all gross in the sandals. Also I hate putting sunscreen on my feet, thats a pain in the ass.

This kind of inspired me to do something I have thought of doing but didn't know if the bike would be ride-able: MY IDEA: well it is similar to this in that it would be a tall bike. But my design would be a bike with 42 inch wheels. These are the tallest UNICYCLE wheels made. I don't know of any 42 inch bicycles in existence. I know for sure you cannot buy one. This would have to be completely custom made.

When I bought my first motorcycle I got one of the world's fastest bikes and haven't looked back and I've had it for over two years.

Silly analogy with the broom and longer stick. The broom's center of gravity is at the top, whilst the stick is at the middle. Of course it's going to be more stable. Lots of his luggage is at the bottom of the bike, so he's more stable.
@sparkimoto
@sparkimoto 6 лет назад
At first his point seems counter-intuitive. It then reminded me of the fact that the tallest sky scrapers often are the ones that remain standing during a strong earth quake which causes the shorter ones to topple over. So some of the stability is due to the extra height. But as I think of it, it seems to me that it is the height of [ center of gravity ] that is the [ reference height ] and not the actual height of the bike. With that said, the positioning of all of that gear plays a factor it all of this. There are several variables that come into play here. I'm probably gonna lose some sleep over this 2nite.

@alantaylor6691
@alantaylor6691 7 лет назад
Stopping in a hurry wouldn't be a problem as you're going slow. You'd stop a lot more quickly than a light racing bike travelling at 30 mph. As for crosswinds, I think you have somewhat of a point. I'm sure it would be more of an issue than an ordinary bike, although the heavy weight may offset the wind a little. However not entirely. I think in strong crosswinds you might have to stop and wait for it to pass. But you wouldn't get those kind of winds very often, just sometimes.

This person is very well trained in bike repair. Please do not think that you can grab any old bike and ride across the country. Do your homework. You will not make it out of your own state. Plenty of people have tried getting a department store bike and going for long rides and become seriously injured and stranded.
@dfgfddafsdfas
@dfgfddafsdfas 5 лет назад
I don't know if I was "well trained"... I hacked this bike together from old parts lying around in bike co-ops. I agree that a department store bike isn't the best choice, but it is possible to tour long distances on cheap bikes! Once you know how to fix a flat and do basic adjustments you are good to go! And unless you are riding on trails in the wilderness it is pretty difficult to get truly "stranded" while bike touring...

Boy, this guy does a tour on this bike and I am thinking do i need to replace my touring bike with a better one with disc brakes? I have done some distance rides but not toured yet. Did you just use maps or GPS? Never mind seems like was done a longtime ago . congrats on your accomplishments.

Nah you don't need disc brakes! Just brakes that work! On this tour I had a small laptop with me, I would stop in towns and look at maps on the internet, write them down in my journal and use that to navigate. Also just asking people a lot. You should go bike touring its really fun!!!!

@@dfgfddafsdfas thanks I have an older bianchi volpe I bought used over a year ago and seems pretty good. Not as fast as my road bikes but comfy.. It looks like never used however and I upgraded wheels, brake pads etc .. I am gonna try a couple day tour and see how it goes.

he must damage his handlebars and headset bearings each time he lets it fall to the ground.

You would think so, but it survived dozens, maybe hundreds of falls! my friends still ride it sometimes! (i don't, its too tall)

Maybe a long bike would be cool.

How interesting! In 1950 my older brother flipped the forks over on his tricycle and built the first upside down [big wheel]tricycle! (In 1969 Louis Marx and Company began manufacturing Big Wheels'] In the mid 50's I flipped the forks on my bicycle, extended the saddle post & goose neck and built the first upside down bicycle, my design had no cross bar to inhibit bailing off. I enjoyed viewing [over fences] the ladies' sun bathing, [au natural]! Question: If it took 19 years for someone to co-invent my brother's idea & 63 years for someone to co-invent my idea does that make me smarter than him?

Basically, you mount and dismount it like you would a Horse. If you've ridden a Horse before you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

How about the dogs, do they come close as typical or they fear this? :)

@dfgfddafsdfas 7 лет назад
Dogs will definitely still chase you on a tall bike, but at least they can't reach you!

One of the better TEDx talks, usually TEDx is absolutely awful to watch, but this guy oozes personality with his socks and sandals and rich moustache...
