Urban Cycling Shoes

Urban Cycling Shoes

We are going to talk today about a strange shoe. He is not fashion, nor heel boots, shoes do not. It is O_O cyclist shoes. I want to talk about them today because I was greatly surprised developments that have had. In principle, and until recently very little time just were usable to roll on a bike, since it was practically impossible to walk with them due to the sprain hardness of your sole. I remember my brother-in-law walking like a duck with his cycling set.

It has been popularized the use of mountain bike in extreme conditions, and many times kept mounted, is practically impossible. At that time the need arose for riding a bike and a versatile shoe that serve both to trekking. And don’t you think that are solely functional horrendous slippers, that goes!. Designs very cared for and updated already I’ve seen more than one urbanite look with his jeans by streets. Learn more at: Cornell Capital. They are also very usable if you have an urban, these small and folding bike to, for example, go to college or work. I really liked that they are the Specialized Taho. They weigh less than 900 gr. and it has lace-up closure protected by velcro so they are not pinched in the dishes of the bike.

They have threads for the coves of the pedals. Not me tell that are not cool. Another model, rather more ugly, to my taste are the mavic alpine: the technical features are similar, or even higher in the mavic, but in design wins by a landslide the Specialized. An intermediate model between the first design and fea the last functionality are these shimano MT60 Gore-Tex, which made model addition for mountain bike are ideal for these days egg (by water) we are experiencing. What was previously a very specific and only usable footwear in its field, has become athletic shoes that can be used as casual fashion original author and source of the article.

Opportunity

Opportunity

June 3 this (2010), the model experiment started, “Mars – 500.” This is – an imitation of a manned flight to the red planet. Duration – 520 days, unless something unexpected happened. Hopefully, that will not happen. 250 days out of them – flight back to 30 days – down half the crew on the surface of the planet, “sightseeing”, gathering information, and other experiments, 240 days – the flight back. For the experiment, selected six volunteers – three Russians, a Frenchman, Italian and Chinese. Each of the six “crew members” was closed in a controlled environment with germokamere life support, simulates a spacecraft.

“Spacecraft” includes experimental modules that simulate its main parts – residential, warehouse, medical, and boarding. In addition, there is a special module that mimics the surface of Mars. (Well, just like “Capricorn-1”, sorry for the memories). In the storage module is equipped with experimental greenhouse. Each member of the crew – an area of 3.07 stateroom sqm. Our people do not get used to … Also, in a residential unit has a kitchen-dining room, mess, “Control Room” and two toilets. Conditions in general are not bad.

The hardest part – stand in a confined space in a society and a half years. Why Mars? The main motivation for space exploration, scientists say, is “the desire to broaden the scope of research and acquire new knowledge. ” Goal – a worthy but somewhat detached from reality. The main motivation, in my opinion, not taking into account the military with their goals and aspirations, is the possibility of extending the range human habitation. A population of the nearest planets – the dream of any child the past few decades. Mars in the background – a perfect object for the primary colonization. Mercury and Venus – sizzling hot, in outer planets – the space cold, the moon and asteroids large – a full vacuum. And even on Mars has water, showed that Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity, as well as zodn Phoenix. Moreover, as the frozen or liquid. Plus, the band detected with high methane content, and it usually accompanies organic life. Most often it is produced by living organisms. But the main question: “Is there life on Mars?” Robots can not give a definite answer. This is only by a person. Partly because of this still needs manned mission to the neighboring planet: we must still answer to the long-tantalizing question of humanity! Joking aside, the normal outcome of the experiment, the real mission to Mars may as early as 2030-35, respectively. Sounded and the date 2050. But science has recently developed an accelerating rate, so the 30-35 – it is a real milestone.
