That's generally only true on road bikes made for going fast. The rims are deep like that for aerodynamics. Cruisers (like shown in the videos), hybrids and most other transportation bikes tend not to have those deep rims.

Note that a tree farm is not (usually) a forest. A tree farm is usually just trees, all the same type and age, in a relatively uniform grid, with minimal other flora or fauna. A forest is a complex ecosystem that happens to have trees as it

There are automated home brewing systems available on the market already. Seem to be 5-10 times the cost of a non-automated homebrew setup. Here's the first I found with some random googling around: http://brewmation.com/Panels.html

I see 1 lb of honey in both recipes, at the end of the fermentables. Putting the honey in later in the boil (like in the honey ale recipe) would probably preserve more of the honey flavor.

I believe that 10.8M accident figure is an estimate counting all kinds of crashes, even the ones not reported to police. 6M police-reported crashes in 2007. 1.71 million police-reported crashes with an injury. 37,000 traffic fatalities in 2

That's 10.8M crashes. The vast majority aren't really "accidents", since they are caused by human actions. Census needs to fix their reports to be consistent with Department of Transportation terminology...

It's rare to find actual Calorie information for a beer (except mass-produced "light" beers). You can estimate it at about 30 Calories (kcal) per % ABV in a 12 oz beer. About 40 for a 16 oz (american pint), 50 for an imperial pint. Basicall
