First of all, checkout this video about the creation of this cargo bike documentary.
I think this is a great way to introduce people to the idea of using an electric cargo bike as a car alternative for their around town errands and commuting.
For some an e-cargo bike could be a car replacement.
I am happy to say that I am a co-director of this film as I have submitted some video about the e-cargo bike scene.
So not only is it a crowdsourced documentary, but it is now a crowdfunded documentary.
Make sure you checkout the LESS CAR, MORE GO Kickstarter project to learn more about this unique film and the cargo bike revolution.
And please share this with your friends!
Here is the trailer to the LESS CAR, MORE GO documentary:
And here is the link to LESS CAR, MORE GO Kickstarter page.
P.S. Don't forget to join the Electric Bike Report community for updates from the electric bike world, plus ebike riding and maintenance tips!
Stores I recommend: Amazon, REI, Jenson USA, Bike Trailer Shop, Bike Bag Shop, and Bike Kid Shop.

I can't wait to see the difference between the 2 dyno's.
I just ordered a Cobb AP for my 2008 535i. I'm taking it in on this Wed. to get the fuel pump replaced and the injectors checked but the SA said they will be reflashing the ecu after all this work is done. I've heard from BMW owners that have had the reflash done, that the car's feel slower than before. I'm still not sure if I want to have this done. The fuel pump was just replaced in January but I don't think they reflashed the computer.
I thought about the Dinan but it's a total pain to have it reflashed every time it needs service ot warranty. That's what made me decide on the Cobb.

The Company's Founder, Algy Cluff, has extensive experience and contacts obtained during 40 years' of successful investing in the natural resource sector. In 1975, Algy was involved in the discovery of the Buchan oil field, the 14th discovery made in the UK North Sea. In the same way, Cluff Natural Resources is now aiming to become a pioneer in the unlocking of stranded coal in the UK.
The Company currently has 100% working interest in eight Deep Underground Coal Gasification ('UCG') Licences in the UK covering a total of 61,274 hectares of Carmarthenshire and the Dee Estuary, the North Wales/Merseyside border, the Firth of Forth near Kincardine, Scotland, North Cumbria, Largo Bay, Durham North, Durham South and Maryport. Cluff Natural Resources intends to carry out a Scoping Study on the licences and identify an area for test production.
Cluff Natural Resources has an experienced Board with proven track records in identifying, operating and developing oil and gas and mining projects globally.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - With Christmas a week from Tuesday, you may still be buying those last minute gifts. But if you're not checking your credit card and bank statements, you'll want it. Some stores are putting a hold on funds.
We know it's been happening with debt cards but now we're seeing it with credit cards as well.
Sometimes these holds on funds look like a double charge on your statement. It's how stores make sure the money is in your account for what you just bought. When the transaction clears, everything evens out. But if you need that money, or credit in the meantime, you could have a problem.
Shopping online is a convenience for many, like Eli Natan.
"What's better than sitting at home in your bed, while you're watching 11 o'clock news, and shopping," said Natan.
While Natan shops online, what he may not realize is stores like Macy's are putting a hold on charges. According to Macy's website, if you use a debt or credit card, they request authorization from your bank for the transaction amount immediately after you click submit. Then your bank places a hold on the funds in anticipation of receiving the actual money from your account.
Macy's says "we do not process the actual charge to your debit card until your order is shipped; however, we will request another authorization from your bank to verify that the funds remain available if there is a delay from your order date to our shipping date."
But WINK News found out, they're also placing holds on funds for credit cards too. WINK News reached out to one credit card company, Capital One, and they told us that holds on credit cards are nothing new.
To make sure a hold doesn't happen to you, suggestions from the experts are:
- Pay with cash. If you're buying something online however, you may not be able to avoid the holds.
- If you do use your debt card, use your pin number. That allows an immediate withdrawal to cover the cost.
Banks say while they do happen, large debit holds aren't very common. A hold can stay on your account until a business puts the sale through. That's when your bank records or credit card statement will show you what you actually spent. But if your account or credit limit is low, a purchase may not go through if you don't have enough money to cover the hold.
The best thing you can do? When shopping online, make sure you know the company's policy when it comes to payments. It should be clearly stated on its website. Also, keep checking your statements and make sure you ask questions if something doesn't look quite right.

Fla. students drinking less soda, watching less TV
Updated On: Mar 02 2014 02:48:16 PM EST
Florida high schoolers are getting healthier, according to state health officials.
A survey of 6,089 students in 73 high schools found the number of students who drank soda one or more times daily dropped from 31 percent in 2007 to 22 percent in 2013.
At the same time, the number of students who exercised for an hour during five of the past seven days increased from 38 to nearly 44 percent. And the number of students who watched three or more hours of television on an average school day went from 40 percent to 31 percent.
RELATED: HealthiestWeightFL.com
The Florida Department of Health and the Florida Department of Education are working to create school environments that help students make healthier choices, such as drinking more water and staying active.

A little higher than your average suit..funny enough my gray Napoli has armholes as high as my Zegna Milano's but my Blue Napoli is a lower..from what I can discern, they have three factories in Italy, China and somewhere else.. so when you buy online it depends where your suit comes from that determines armhole height I believe..
So I will just keep returning it until I get the correct one then
Thanks for that bit of info btw chososa :Dpost #1205 of 736712/13/12 at 2:00am

copped the double breasted suit from park and bond for 300. in size 34(talked to suitsupply and they say its the 35) since that's their lowest size. I haven't bought a new suit in a long time. after losing alot of weight tried on 36 from on of their slim ones at nordstroms and that ran slightly big. hopefully the 35 fits!

So I have the opportunity to get a free Suit Supply suit. I was thinking of going for the Jort (or now La Spalla as they're calling it), but I'm not sure I like the look of the shoulder. I need a grey suit, and the grey birdseye Sienna just seems to look better - I prefer a darker grey and the texture of the cloth seems a bit nicer. As an added bonus the fabric should be a bit more hard wearing on the Sienna.
I know the Jort is supposed to be more luxurious. The description of the Sienna in the video says it is a canvas construction. Does anyone know if it is half or full canvassed. Which of these do you guys prefer?

Last summer, I ordered a grey birdseye Jort and a plain blue Sienna with the intention to keep only one and return the other. The decision was quite easy. The Sienna fits me like a tent, while the Jort is much, much slimmer. Also, I prefer the Jort's very soft spalla camicia shoulder with almost no padding, wich makes the coat much lighter than the Sienna. So my vote goes for the Jort.
But I suggest you to order both, so that you can decide based on the fit. If you don't like one of the items, you can return it without any shipping costs via UPS.
PS: I think Sienna is half canvassed and Jort is full canvassedpost #1214 of 736712/17/12 at 1:22pm

Natalie Whipple, sadly, does not have any cool mutations or magical powers like her characters. Unless you count the ability to watch anime and Korean dramas for hours on end. Or her uncanny knack for sushi consumption.
She grew up in the Bay Area and relocated to Utah for high school, which was quite the culture shock for her anime-loving teen self. But the Rocky Mountains eventually won her over, and she stuck around to earn her degree in English linguistics at BYU, with a minor in editing. Natalie still lives in Utah with her husband and three kids, and keeps the local Asian market in business with all her attempts to cook Thai curry, pho, and bulgogi.
She is the author of Transparent, Blindsided (sequel to Transparent), House of Ivy & Sorrow and Relax, I'm a Ninja. In addition to that, she is on the writing team for the cRPG Torment: Tides of Numenera that should be out sometime in 2015.

Long Ago Lyrics - Hawk Nelson
Can we get back to the basics?
Back where we came from?
When we didn't have no worries
We were basking in the sun
Sometimes the least of my problems feel like the biggest ones
When you said that you were leaving, felt like we had just begun
It would be so easy
Oh, if it was that easy
I can't sleep tonight
So tell me one more time
When I dream, it will be you that's on my mind
It's my heart you hold, so never let it go
I still love you like I loved you long ago
Saw you out on the freeway, and later at the show
It could be my imagination, but I know I'm not alone
All the lights in the city are burning out with time
But there's a light that hangs above, and it's keeping us in line
All this time that's running by won't stop until we stand still
'Cause we are incomplete until we finally breathe
Let's take a look at the future
See where we left off
I'm so grateful that I found you
Cause, without you, I am lost

Happy Thanksgiving
23 hours ago
Managed to muster up the energy for one here, though. This one is unofficially dedicated to my buddy Cary, a great writer you haven't heard of yet but will soon enough. Recorded this by accident, listened, liked, refined, and the end result is the longest single piece I've ever done. For me, at least, it's a little bit of audio bliss. Enjoy.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A dangerous mass of arctic air is marching toward the South and East after leaving much of the Midwest miserable with wind chills as low as minus 55. National forecasters say more than 187 million people could be affected by the weather system before it departs by week's end. Texas has seen the worst of the latest arctic blast, with temperatures dropping into the teens for the second night in a row in much of the state. The National Weather Service predicts a slow warming trend today, with temperatures climbing into the 40s statewide.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) San Antonio public works crews have drained the San Antonio River channel to allow cleaning and maintenance of the downtown section of the iconic waterway. Transportation and Capital Improvements department officials say the river was drained before dawn yesterday through downtown. Water was left in the downtown loop lined by the River Walk shops and restaurants. Crews are scheduled to finish their work Friday, and water will return to the channel next Tuesday.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Jury selection has started in the capital murder trial of a 26-year-old former software engineer charged with fatally shooting an Austin police officer in 2012. Hundreds of potential jurors have been filling out questionnaires today. The American Statesman reports the pool will be narrowed and then potential jurors will be questioned individually before a panel is picked to hear the case of Brandon Daniel. The process is likely to take weeks.
KILLEEN, Texas (AP) Police in Central Texas say a man has shot and killed his brother after mistaking him for a burglar attempting to enter his home via a window late at night. Killeen police said today that 32-year-old Terry Lee Moon Junior was found in the back yard of the home early Sunday morning with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital where he died.

Why 1K?
The lust for literbikes
Riders in our sport are always trying to decide what would constitute the perfect racetrack motorcycle. Opinions vary, with only one constant. Whatever the best machine is, it's not the one currently owned! In this "grass is always greener" scenario, bigger is usually better and eventually, most wind up stating that their ultimate object of desire displaces 1000cc. Literbikes are on the top of everyone's wish list but does the reality of owning one as a trackday bike live up to the bench racing hype?
TrackdayMag.com set out to explore this question two years ago, when we picked up a crashed 2008 GSXR 1000 from CrankyApe.com, a company which auctions off wrecked and repossessed vehicles at sites across the country. We drove to their branch in Valdosta, Georgia and rebuilt the machine right there in the parking lot, then headed a few miles down the road to JenningsGP racetrack for a test weekend. Against long odds, our ambitious plan worked perfectly and that first weekend was amazing. The 07/08 Gixxer 1K was all-dominating in the AMA, wining virtually every race for Yoshimura Suzuki riders Matt Mladen and Ben Spies. Even on that first tentative weekend, we could feel what a capable machine we'd acquired.
Last season, our project bike was a 2011 Kawasaki ZX10R, a motorcycle which represents the next generation of literbike technology. Kawasaki came within a few points of winning the World Superbike title with this design in 2012. Its main advantage is lighter weight than previous designs. Kawasaki has worked hard to eliminate unnecessary fat wherever possible. The packaging of this machine leaves no wasted space and results in a 1000cc bike that seems 600 small. This new-age beast actually makes our old Gixxer 1K feel heavy and slow by comparison!
Shock and Awe
Two seasons and two fine motorcycles later, we're ready to comment on the experience of being a 1000cc racetrack rider. First and foremost, we should probably mention the POWER! Oh heaping, hellacious, head-spinning, holeshot-winning, heavy duty horsepower on high! You've been threatened at every rider's meeting you've ever attended that you'll be kicked out if you intentionally pull wheelies but what if they're unintentional? We've tried numerous times to explain to event organizers that we were the innocent victims of an overly-powerful motorcycle and haven't won that argument yet. The problem is that compared to smaller bikes, a 1000 seems to overreact to every twitch of the throttle. Until you're used to it, this can lead to unintentional hooliganism. If you fantasize about being shot from a cannon, we'd recommend riding a literbike as a marginally safer alternative. Hey, at least it has brakes, right?
If you're coming from a 600, 750 or a V-twin, the 1000cc experience is nothing short of terrifying. That thing in your right hand is controlling a process more akin to fission than internal combustion. Almost everything you've learned about riding a motorcycle goes straight out the window when you've got a runaway nuclear reactor between your knees. If you're a corner speed rider, a 1000 will turn every bit of throttle-control confidence that you've ever acquired into an all-consuming fear of highsiding yourself to the moon. If your style is to go deep, brake like a demon, then turn and burn, you're equally screwed. Both braking and corner exit acceleration are radically different on a machine this powerful.
When you step up from a smaller motorcycle to literbike power, everything happens much faster. You're now riding something that will accelerate more rapidly and, in the process, achieve a greater ultimate speed between corners. Because the rest of the machine must be of robust construction to harness its huge engine, a literbike is heavier than its puny brethren. The result is that you'll be arriving at each corner with more speed to burn off and a greater amount of mass to slow. Physics dictates that you'll need to brake earlier. There's a serious mental aspect to consider here as well. A 40mph corner looks far more terrifying at 130 than it does at 100 and aside from the speed difference, there's also velocity to consider. On a slower bike which has pretty much run out of steam by the end of the straight, you wait for your brake marker, then begin to execute your corner sequence when you reach it. When arriving at the end of any straight on a 1000, at the moment of throttle roll-off, your machine is accelerating much harder than a smaller bike would be at that point. This additional thrust has the psychological effect of making the rider feel as if he is being propelled into the corner by forces bent on destroying him. Riders of smaller machines laugh about having literbikes blow past them on a straight and then throw on the brakes pathetically early. Having experienced both sides of that coin, we'll state with absolute confidence that it's far easier to late-brake aboard a slower motorcycle. Saving your braking for the last possible moment aboard a 1000 requires serious courage.
Acceleration and Shifting
As was previously mentioned, literbikes have the tendency to wheelie of their own free will. Since flipping over backwards is not conducive to lower lap times, you'll be spending much of each lap on wheelie prevention duty and yes, that means giving the bike something less than full throttle. Oh, how you'll grow to miss those carefree days when all you had to do was tuck under the bubble and pin it! Being in the correct gear is critical when riding a 600, since if you let the RPMs drop, you'll be waiting all day for some power. On a 1000, you often find yourself loafing around a corner at 5000rpm, just because the motor is much more easily controlled when it's not on the boil. You'll be surprised how much less you shift on a literbike. Second and third gears will be enough for many circuits, with an occasional visit to fourth on longer straights. You'll need a track like Brainerd, Daytona, Road Atlanta or Road America to use all the cogs in a 1K's box.
Horsepower versus Torque
There is a massive difference in personality between 600cc and 1000cc motorcycles. We've often said that a 600cc bike is "the tip of the whip." Its small engine makes horsepower by flowing a great rush of air/fuel mixture through it at high rpm. Slow that mechanical process and forward thrust trails off immediately. As a result, your job as a 600 rider is to maximize the machine's every resource. Revs are your lifeblood and you do what it take to preserve every last one of them. You tap dance on the shifter, charge into every corner with as much momentum as possible and try to slingshot out onto the next straight with as little loss of forward progress as you can manage. You measure your progress on a 600 by how much sooner you can reach full throttle leaving a corner and then how much longer you can stay wide open before you brake. Every extra thousandth of a second at WFO is a victory aboard a 600.
A 1000 is a completely different animal. Here, torque is king. You might be able to plow a field with a literbike. (Lord knows, we've left furrows in more than one runoff area with ours....) Sure, it will make high rpm horsepower like a 600 does but if you're leaned over at that point, the rush of acceleration will overwhelm your rear tire in an instant, leaving the fates to decide whether you'll be sliding, tumbling or soaring to your next destination. Instead, you lug the machine through corners on a fat wave of midrange torque, only allowing the high rpm feeding frenzy to begin once the machine is off-apex and nearing straight up and down. Between trying not to highside and preventing the machine from going over backwards, you'll spend remarkably few seconds of each lap at full throttle. Mastering a 1000's ability to terrify you on approach to your braking zone is no easy task, either. In short, riding a 600 is about maximizing momentum within the limits of traction, while herding a 1000cc monster is about trying to use as much of the available power as possible without allowing the machine to gain the upper hand and pulverize you.
Maintenance and Crash Survivability
It probably won't surprise you to learn that 1000cc motorcycles consume tires, chains, gears, brake pads and gasoline at a rate that makes 600 bikes look downright economical. Through expensive experience, we've learned that you don't want to do a 520 chain conversion or use aluminum sprockets on a racetrack-ridden literbike. Yes, the pros do this in an effort to save weight but they also replace these parts after EVERY session. The rest of us need to buy steel gears in the factory recommended pitch and wrap them in the highest tensile-strength chain available. While it's not recommended for any racetrack-ridden machine, don't even think about using a clip-style master link on a 1K. A riveted link is the way to go every time. Soft, sprint-compound brake pads will disappear at a phenomenal rate when stopping a heavy literbike from racetrack speeds. Trackday participants will find that pads recommended for endurance racing will suit their needs well and for most riders, will offer equal performance. As for gasoline, we've always gone by the rule of thumb that a full tank in the bike plus a five gallon can will get us through a day at most venues. Add a second can to that equation when you make the switch to a 1000.
We've been surprised to observe that on the whole, properly equipped literbikes are quite crashworthy, regardless of manufacturer. Yes, you'll want the usual compliment of armored engine case covers, sliders, clip-ons and rearsets but with these parts installed, your core motorcycle stands a much better chance of surviving drama if it's a 1000cc model. Our speculation is that while motorcycle manufacturers shave every gram from their 600cc machines in order to make them as light as possible, literbikes need to be designed a bit stronger to survive the massive power of their huge engines. This serves the larger bikes well when they begin to tumble. As an example, our 08 GSXR 1K came to us with evidence that its street owner had wheelied it over backwards. Since then, we've slid it down the asphalt three times, with two of those incidents resulting in end-over-end summersaults. While virtually every part that bolts on has been destroyed and replaced at least once during the bike's service life, our machine's frame, swingarm and engine have survived each crash unscathed. The cost savings of being able to rebuild your machine instead of having to replace it can determine when, or perhaps even if, you'll be able to return to the sport.
"Whattaya mean I was in your way? My bike is a THOUSAND!"
We've noticed that some 1000cc riders can become pretty good at accelerating like crazy, braking fiercely to a near-stop, pointing the bike in a new direction and repeating the process. These guys are normally referred to as "Corner Campers" and they pretty much piss off everybody who shares the track with them. When a faster rider on a smaller bike catches someone like this, a war of egos usually ensues. The camper doesn't like being passed on the brakes or in the turn, so he'll use his superior horsepower to retake the other rider down the following straight. To the defense of these individuals, they are at least capitalizing on their literbike's strengths while avoiding the more difficult aspects of maintaining corner speed on a powerful bike. That said, it is our belief that if you want to drag race, you should go to a drag strip. The trackday sport is about cornering and it is there that you should concentrate your efforts. In almost every case, Corner Campers started their racetrack careers aboard a 1000 and have never ridden anything else. Often, they've avoided any form of instruction as well, believing that they are of superior talent already and couldn't possibly learn much from some annoying dude in a silly vest. Are all literbike riders like this? Absolutely not! Can you learn how to ride a racetrack well if you begin on a 1K? Of course that's possible and we've seen many people successfully take this route. It's worth keeping in mind though that a 1000cc machine is not a starter bike. Just like a street rider shouldn't buy one for his first-ever ride, a racetrack rookie would be better served by and likely would make faster progress with a smaller motorcycle, even if he has many years of road riding under his belt.
Indisputable Indecision
So is riding a literbike at the racetrack all it's, um.... cracked up to be? That depends. How experienced a rider are you? Make no mistake, a 1000cc motorcycle is quite a bit harder to go fast on than something smaller. Riding one can be exhausting, both mentally and physically. If the circuits in your area offer room for a big bike to stretch its legs, then a 1K will make you very happy but if you normally ride at tight circuits, you'll have more fun at lower cost and burn less energy by wringing every last drop of speed out of something with less power. It is our opinion that a literbike can make a slow rider faster (the corner camping scenario) and a fast rider slower. As an example of the latter, two of our editors were having a spirited ride together at Putnam Park, in Greencastle, Indiana. This course offers a variety of corners from fast to slow and one long straight that really lets a big bike get spooled up. The editor on the 750 was giving his pal on the 1000 fits! They swapped machines and something totally unexpected happened. The 1000 rider went faster on the 750, while the 750 rider did just a few laps on the literbike and came in, commenting, "That thing's way too much work and way too scary for me. It's not my idea of fun." So did the 1000cc editor see the light and renounce his big-motored bruiser? Nope. His take on the situation was, "Man, it's a beast to ride and I know I went faster on the 750 but that big old Thou just puts a smile on my face!" Our conclusion? Life is short. Go with what makes you happy.
