How much *vigorous* physical activity is enough for health? Just less than 20 minutes goes a long way, less than 60 minutes may be optimal…

What happens when one of the sport's most innovative engineers colloborates with an equally innovative former pro triathlete? Wheels unlike anything you've ever seen before!

It's extraordinarily disheartening that someone so interested (and indeed powerful) in urban transportation is apparently blissfully unaware of the Fundamental Law of Road Congestion. More roads simply means more traffic unless you price road congestion.
Red Bull Top 8! Congrats to @anna_dopico for your multi-award winning book ToMakeRidersFaster.com. Great Christmas present!

Congestion cost each & every LosAngelino $2,828 last year [INRIX study]. Commuting alone, in 20 ft long, 4400 lb vehicles doesn't work.

Everyone loves a graph, right? Top 4 progression in the IP at Worlds and major events (Olympics, Commonwealths, conti champs, major world cups etc). @jjzarchibald and Ashton Lambie's data thrown in there to see their progression. Arms race since ~2013? And it's only accelerating!
The average NA commuter vehicle carries 1.1 people and weighs 4400 lbs. This narrow track vehicle carries 2 and weighs 550lbs.
Lightweight narrow-track vehicles makes a lot of sense in the city (although probably not on the sidewalk).

Congrats to @PurdueEngineers @PurdueME and Director Jan-Anders Mansson for the launch of the Ray Ewry Sports Engineering Center. Excited to be part of the advisory board with @wimsweldens & Dr. Kim Blair in this partnership with the @IOCmedia and @Olympics.
This is Ray Ewry, @PurdueME graduate. After overcoming polio, he set a world record by high-jumping 1.65m (5' 5") from a standing start! We're honoring his accomplishments by teaming up with @PurdueSports to create the Ray Ewry Sports Engineering Center: purdue.edu/newsroom/releases…

2/ It's time for @Facebook to wake up. They might have started as a tech company, but they're a media company now. They acquire stories and publish them- the same as any other news organization.
Foreign interference in US elections is a big issue. Hey, its an issue up here too!
