Roundabouts (s111, s119)

At roundabouts:

• drivers who want to turn right at two-lane roundabouts are required to enter the roundabout and complete the turn, from the right hand lane
• cyclists are exempt from this requirement and may enter the roundabout and complete a right hand turn from either the left lane or the right lane
• cyclists, if they choose to make a right turn from the left lane, must give way to any vehicle that is crossing their path to leave the roundabout.

Cyclists may turn right from the right lane of two-lane roundabouts.

Cyclists may also turn right from the left lane of two-lane roundabouts, but must give way to vehicles that cross their path.

Note: Cyclists riding in the far left marked lane of a roundabout with 2 or more marked lanes, or the far left line of traffic in a roundabout with room for 2 or more lines of traffic, must give way to any vehicle leaving the roundabout.

 It's best not to get too far outside the norm or you'll confuse other road users. Lots of white light front, lots of red light rear. I believe that motorists are used to following red lights, and avoiding amber lights. Amber is used for construction/pothole markings as well as on the back side of most ambulance vehicles (along with flashing red lights). Somebody really drunk might just follow your steady red light or reflector - him at 50 mph, you at 15 mph. Not pretty. I run a blinky amber and a bilnky red on the rear. In my rear view mirror I can see cars moving out of my lane an eighth of a mile back. I would never run a steady red light or a red reflector alone. Blinky red alone? Do I really want to ID myself as a bicycle if there is a chance I could look like a BUS? Not really. Be the bus Danny!

ccident/Incident

 How to avoid having a ghost bike at the site of an incident that is called an accident? First read David Brennan's essay post in his blogThe Mind of a Helmet Camera Cyclist   on incident verus accident A culture of Responsibility

In Case of Impact-  witness- record, ask for witnesses  and call 000, (even from a touch from a car, truck or bike, or pedestrian- by Law call 000 Ambulance and Police)

Bicycle built for 2: HydroCarbonJohn & Professor Lucy

July 2013- Le Bike de deux

Thank you Tex Perkins for bringing H.G. Wells into the picture!

While waiting for the Tardis to return ( using atomic  propulsion), we need to build a  hydrocarbon fuel cell powered travel machine for Professor Lucy and her Assistant Dr John.

Scoping Idea: We need to lower the centre of gravity, design from visibility and safety first,  and have some fun with a imaginative frame-builder. ......... Ewen Gellie

Hi John,

"carrying a dog on the front is no problem. There is a frame geometry that has been proven for that. This is the modern rack option. There is a whole renewal of appreciation of the proven practical older style bikes and there were some beautiful examples in a practical-appreciation way.

Arnaud's bike is top of the line! A bike with derailleur gears can't be beaten for cost. I can make one for approx $xplus. Internally geared hubs add the all-weather simplicity europeans love. Belt-drive eliminates the mess and wear of chain-drive. The Rohloff-internally-geared-hub adds another $1000 on top with its 14-speed precision german durability. Those bikes would be $y-plus." 

Cheers, Ewen                                          

          something like this but to look like above Ewen!

Resveratrol study rebuttal 2013

Reasons Explained Why New Study Finds Resveratrol Has No Effect Among Healthy Obese Men

European researchers report high-dose pure synthetic resveratrol produced no measurable benefit among healthy obese males over a 4-week trial. It may be another nail in the coffin for resveratrol, but health journalist and resveratrol-pill formulator Bill Sardi says he thinks he knows why the study was a flop.

Certainly the world has been waiting for resveratrol to live up to its promise as a molecular mimic of a limited calorie diet. In the animal laboratory, 40-50% reduction of calorie intake among warm-blood mammals about doubles their healthy lifespan. Could this happen for humans? The science has been mixed so far. Sardi says he knows why.

For one thing you can't take healthy people and anticipate their pre-disease numbers to improve appreciably. Often the measures modern medicine uses are not linked to improved outcomes or longer life. For example, cholesterol is one measure of health that has never been shown to parallel mortality rates, says Sardi.

You have to measure true markers of aging, such as iron storage (ferritin), accumulation of cellular debris (lipofuscin), mitochondrial function, red blood cell widthand labile iron, none which were measured in the recent study says Sardi.

He says another problem is that mega-dose resveratrol works in a contrary manner to elevate stress hormones, worsen pre-disease states and negate the full benefit achieved when a mild biological stress agent activates internal antioxidants via a phenomenon known as hormesis. Sardi says mega-dose resveratrol runs contrary to what has been learned from wine drinking and laboratory studies.

This negative study, published in the journal DIABETES, cites a similar study where far less resveratrol (150 mg) used in this study (500 mg) was employed among a similar group of subjects over the same time period with successful results. Numerous studies point to lower doses mimicking a calorie restricted diet, not mega-dose resveratrol, says Sardi. "One would think researchers are intentionally trying to put the scientific kibosh on resveratrol," he says.

The biggest oversight in evaluating these studies is that it takes a lifetime for a calorie-restricted diet to fully activate a vast number of longevity genes. This was conclusively shown in a study with calorie restricted mice.

In the short-term (12 weeks), calorie-restricted diet activated 198 genes, but over the animal's lifetime this diet activated 831 genes and took full effect.

In that same experiment, relatively low-dose resveratrol (equal to 100 milligrams in a 160-lb human) activated just 225 genes in the short-term. If this experiment translates to humans, it would take life-long resveratrol supplementation to fully activate all of the longevity genes activated by a long-term limited calorie diet.

But remarkably, when a matrix of small natural molecules (Longevinex®) was combined with resveratrol, 1711 genes were activated over the short-term -- double that of life-long calorie restriction and 7-times that of short-term resveratrol.

More precisely, the combination of natural molecules (Longevinex®) switched 677 of 831 (81.4%) longevity genes in the same direction as a calorie-restricted diet. This is the closest mimic to a limited calorie diet ever demonstrated.

Longevity seekers may have to adhere to life-long use of resveratrol to achieve the same effect as calorie restriction, something that Longevinex® exceeded in just a few weeks. If this is true, most resveratrol pill users are wasting their money.
