I have an idea for a new thread...

[Hairy]

What speeds are you guys riding that you are worried about your bike melting!?

this is not the Chinese carbon thread

[DJR]

Terminal velocity?

All this tensile strength of woods vs steels talk, reminds me of a conversation I once overheard about the airspeed velocity of an African vs European swallow.

Laden or unladen?

The density of Finnish pine is 370 – 550 kg/m3, spruce 300 – 470 kg/m3 and birch 590 – 740 kg/m3.

 

Those are pretty soft woods. Bear in mind wood's tensile strength increases as it's density increases.

 

Wood is also 20 times stronger along the grain than across it, so that needs to be taken onto account too.

 

Still not as hard as my morning wood.

You should rather be asking “Salbutamoled or unSalbutamoled”

Can't catch cyclists, but we can catch pigeons:

 

"Traces of the drug Mobistix, a medicine used by humans as a pain-killer, to combat fever and which also prevents inflammation, were found in five of the Belgian birds tested by a South African drugs laboratory, while cocaine was found in the blood of another bird."

 

So I'm going with unSalbutamoled unSalbutamolled unSalbutamolified undoped. The bird world seems well policed.

And the only reason they caught the bird for cocaine is that his route back always seemed to go through Colombia.

And the druglords in Columbia all go "Now why did we not thing of that ....?"

No, it was caught because it was higher than the others!
