Hey Fellas,

It looks like the movie about land speed record bicycles is still under production and on track to eventually being finished. I recently donated to their gofundme, and if you have the money to spare I think this would be a great cause to donate to.

Hey username creature, if you read this post, I think you might find the book "Why Don't Jumbo Jets Flap Their Wings?: Flying Animals, Flying Machines, and How They Are Different" by David Alexander, to be a good read. This book covers how different species of birds and flying insects achieve flight and how various man flying machines have been inspired by the principles of bird flight. I picked this book up because it has a section on human powered aircraft, including human powered ornithopters that flap their wings in a bird like fashion.

Slowly been learning how to idle in one place on a unicycle. This skill is similar in purpose to performing track stands on a bicycle, as being able to idle can be very useful when riding a unicycle in traffic.

Here is a demo of how s and s couplers can allow a bicycle frame to be disassembled and fit into a space it would not have otherwise fit, such as this checked luggage. For context, this checked luggage is the maximum size currently allowed for a checked bag.

This cracked bearing will definitely need to be replaced. I found this issue after I disassembled the unicycle for transport, and this issue probably explains why the bearings felt a little crunchy.
