I'm not talking about a warning system. I'm talking about a system that actually applies the vehicle's brakes to avoid a collision.

It is nearly impossible to get 4 GB cards where i am.

I have noticed a disturbing, to me, trend with the answers to most of the questions in this section. roughly 80% of the time the answers given fall into two categories. Derisive or so couched in technical statistics as to be meaningless.

So I asked a questioned intended to elicit such a response. I received 7 answers in a little over an hour.

Five or them were either belittling or demeaning, and did not contain an answer to the question. This told me that the person writing the answer did not know the answer but was too foolish or arrogant to admit that.

One answer was so full of technical terms that it was obvious to me that he really didn't know the answer either, but was trying to impress me with how much jargon he knew.

The last answerer, apparently didn't know the exact answer either, but he was smart enough to realize that insulting or confusing me wasn't the way to go. He got the ten points.

If you can't answer the person's question without degrading or confusing them, you aren't answering the question you are just stroking your ego.

THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS, JUST SOME THAT ARE EASIER TO ANSWER THAN OTHERS. If you know that, then you are qualified to answer.

Answer the question that is being asked, there are blogs and forums for you to express your opinions

I pedal to maintain a specific speed, not to follow some fool around who has no idea where, when, or how I am riding. A big part of the attraction for me in cycling is that I can do it my way. By the way, I've been doing it for nearly 13 years on a daily basis at least 10 miles per day in snow, sleet, rain, fog, sun, with a temperature range of 0 to 105 degrees F in the foothills of the Colorado Rockies. Do not even think about telling me that I am doing it wrong. I know better and you would to, if you had the grit to stay with me.

Less dogma more riding, I ain't interested in staying with the pack.

I regularly ride my bicycle in temperatures ranging from the single digits F to the mid 20s. I know from previous medical training that exercise in cold temperatures results in increased calorie burn. I am hoping to find a formula that will allow me to accurately track my calorie expenditure on those days. I am 56, 5' 10', 200 lbs, ride at 12 to fourteen miles per hour over uneven ground for 65 to 90 minutes daily.

I bicycle in single digit temperatures regularly and want to get an accurate feel for my calorie consumption at those times. None of the calculators that I have been able to find even consider ambient temperature as part of the formula, even though I know it has to figure in some how.
