Mid-Summer Update

*I’m on twitter. Occasional posts, somewhat more personal opinion & comments on matters-of-the-day in nature.
*At the behest of cool bike-dude and all-around great guy, Philip Williamson, a friend and I created an App for calculating the optimum tire pressure for your bike’s tires. A lot of people don’t know about this and pump them up way too hard. The long and short of it is that tires pumped too hard bounce off every little road imperfection wasting energy. It seems to feel good (at first) because people associate the bouncing with the same high frequency buzz that increases with speed. So, hard tires feel faster. But they aren’t faster. The opposite, in fact, on real roads -- nor is all that buzz good for the nerves in one’s hands. Philip worked on all the graphics (plus this one) for the app and they look great. The App isn’t free, but we tested the heck out of it and there aren’t any bugs so far as we know. Moreso, there’s no annoying ad’s! Computes in both kilos and bars for my continental friends and customers.
*Hoping to fit an S24O (that’s sub-24 hour overnight) in with my son in the next couple of days. Wish us luck. We tried to go last month but got rained out.
