The Subaru hill holder uses the regular brakes, not the parking brake.

Using your turn signals should be a habit. You should do it without thinking about it at all. If you're consciously making a decision whether or not to use them based on the current conditions, you're doing it wrong. All you have to do is move you pinkie finger a few inches from the wheel. It's not that hard.

Edit: Oops, not a video.

This is considerably less stupid than having an engine in the football.

Model T: Good driver's car, in the sense that only a true enthusiast would drive one in this day and age. Not a great handling car, as far as I'm aware.

I'm aware of that. My response was solely concerning the power aspect, not fuel economy.

You forgot the part where they also planned on kidnapping congressmen and the president.

Transmissions don't affect the power measurements. They'll affect power at the wheels, but that's not where the manufacturers measure it.

I doubt that anyone's currently very amped up about this new Cadillac. Their customers will have a lot of resistance to paying that much for this car. Watt were they thinking?

Thanks for your informative response. Even if the officer's only assigned to a couple of square miles, they're still driving/riding/walking around those few square miles all day, right? It doesn't matter if I'm driving across the state or driving around the block over and over, if I drive for 8 hours I'll be getting…

I am aware that a decent new bike will be an improvement over a cheap old bike in ways other than weight. My point was that getting a new bike solely for the purpose of saving weight isn't entirely rational if you're not competing.

yes, what's your point?

Ohhhhh, I get it now...

Glad you like it. I worked at a Fuji dealer. Sounds like you got a good deal on your bike, I don't think I ever saw the Newest 3.0's get much under $500 at my shop.

One of your responses is for just the frame, the other is for the whole bike. There is a wide range of weights of carbon frames, depending on just how much you want to spend. 1 kilo is pretty typical though.

If you're riding solely for fitness, there's no reason to spend tons of money on a lighter bike. After all, the heavier your bike is, the better your workout!

There are aerodynamic restrictions as well.

A lot of it is carbon. The wheels have carbon rims, the cranks are carbon, the handlebars and seatpost are probably carbon, the brakes/shifters are carbon, and some structural bits of the rear derailleur are carbon. You still need a lot of metal for the moving parts, though.

It's impressive that a bike frame can be made under 2 pounds, but that's not terribly much less than most decent racing frames these days. All the weight is in the wheels, drivetrain, controls, etc. The full bike is probably around 14 pounds, though I couldn't find it listed in the specs.

My best guess: The scooter got sandwiched between the two cars, and got pushed up by them. Makes at least as much sense as any other explanation I can think of.
