Hybrid Road Bike

AK-47 concept bike?

A young Russian designer has decided to combine the Izhevsk Mechanical Works factory’s most famous products: The AK-47 assault rifle and the Izh-1 bike.

The AK-47 assault rifle is undoubtedly the Izhevsk Mechanical Works most famous (and notorious) creation. But back in 1928 the company also produced a formidable range of motorcycles which included Izh-1, a 1200cc V-twin.

Extreme weather frequency a key test in climate change

A huge and complex weather system covered much of Ontario last Thursday. Low pressure, centred over Lake Superior near Sault Ste. Marie, directed warm and humid air into southern Ontario. Conditions triggered intense lightning, major downpours with local flooding and a number of tornadoes.

An 11-year-old boy was killed by flying objects during the storm near Owen Sound.

In Vaughan, part of the urban sprawl north of Toronto, at least 200 houses had structural damage related to one tornado. Other tornadoes caused spotty damage in other locations. It is remarkable that no loss of life happened in this situation and tornadoes in other communities.

Meanwhile, in our region, the same low was responsible for unseasonably cool temperatures, brisk winds and in many locations, about 24 hours of continuous rain. In other words, a great day to stay indoors.


Where to buy an affordable hybrid/road bike and what brands?

I'll have a shuttle 4 mile at work and I am eager to road-style bikes with straight handlebars. I'm looking to spend about $ 500.

I think Bianchi has some good road bike commuter / for about $ 500. Salsa sells some good bikes, but they could be a little above your price range.

How much faster would I ride with the same effort by switching from a hybrid bike to a road bike.?

Currently I have a child 5 years or so Marin hybrid bike that I use to get to work once a week. My ride is about 17 miles and it takes me about an hour and fifteen minutes or more.

The difference is mainly the reduction of wind resistance and the resistance of tires.
