1 marzo 1973 anni - Scientific American publishes Bicycle Technology

Descrizione:

"There was an article in Scientific American, where in the early 70s, compared the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. They measured the amount of energy it would take a bird from point A to point B, and compared with it the energy it took a fish to get the same distance, and they go from persons to all sorts of things. And they ranked them, and it turns out the condor won. Condor was the most efficient, and man in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list, that's somewhat disappointing. But, someone there had the insight to test the efficiency of a man riding a bicycle. And, man riding a bicycle is twice as efficient is twice as good as the condor! All the way off the end of the list! And what it really illustrates is man's ability as a tool maker, to fashion a tool, to amplify and inherit an ability that he has."
