Antud koordinaatidelt leiad tänapäevaste Kondiraputaja järglastele tarviliku koha kus igasugu raputuste tagajärgi ennetada ja likvideerida. Kui oled oma seesmise leiutaja valla päästnud ning kõik soovimatud värinad eemaldanud, pakub lähiümbrus sulle muidki väljakutseid. Aga enne seda tee väike kohaloleku kontroll logiraamatu täitmise näol :D
BYOP!
* Jalgratta sünnilugu seostatakse enamasti saksa paruni Karl von Draisiga, kes ühendas 19. sajandi alguses kaks vankriratast puitraamiga ja lisas raamistikule sadula. Sõitmine toimus jalgadega lükates. Ka varem oli loodud jalgratast meenutavaid jooniseid, Draisi tuntakse pigem dresiini leiutajana.
* Esimesi jalgrattaid nimetati velosipeedideks (ladina k. velox+ pes (kiirus+jalg))
* Igal aastal toodetakse üle 100 miljoni jalgratta.
* Esimene müüki tulnud jalgratas, mille nimeks oli ,,Kondiraputaja,, kaalus 80 kg ning see ilmus müüki 1868. aastal Pariisis. Ratas oli algselt valmistatud üleni puidust, hiljem tehti rattad metallist. Kui nüüd sellega tolleagsetele munakivisillutisega tänavatele sõitma mindi, sai erakordselt ebamugava ja raputava sõidu osaliseks :D
* Kaheksast hollandlasest seitsmel, kellel on vanust enam kui 15 aastat, on vähemalt 1 jalgratas.
* Maksimaalne tasasel pinnal saavutatud jalgrattasõidu kiirus on 133,75 km/h.
* 2011. aastal sõitis austria sõitja Markus Stöckl alla vulkaanilise mäe tipust ning saavutas kiiruseks 164.95 km/h.
* Suurim kiirus sirgel ja tasasel pinnal saavutati 1995. aastal Fred Rompelbergi poolt ja selleks oli 268 km/h. Tal oli küll saatjaks kaasas saateauto, mille tuules sõites see peadpööritav kiirus saavutatud on.
* Jalgratta hooldus on 20x vähem kulukas kui ühe auto hoolduskulud kasutusaja lõikes.
* Rattasõit on vahva meelelahutus, kuid ühtlasi lihtne moodus kuidas vähendada südamehaiguste riske.
* Levinuim tandemratas on 2 istmega, kuid pikim teadaolev tandemratas on mahutanud 35 istet ja olnud 20.4 m pikk.
* 90% kõikidest rattasõitudest, mida tehakse, on lühemad kui 15 km.
* Sama energiakuluga, mida kulutatakse mingi vahemaa läbimiseks kõndimisega, saab jalgrattaga läbida 3 korda kiiremini.
* Sama energia- ja materjalikulu, mis kulub 1 auto valmistamisele, saab toota 100 jalgratast.
* Esimene mägijalgratas pärineb aastast 1977.
* Kuigi laia rehviga fat-bike on ideena ja piiratud koguses valmistatuna olnud olemas juba 1900. aastate algusest, siis esimesed moodsad müügile tulnud versioonid pärinevad alles 1980. aastast.
* Fat-bike üheks loomepõhjuseks oli vajadus ratta järele, mis võimaldaks näiteks Alaskas, lumistes ning vahelduvates maastikutingimustes ning erinevatel aastaaegaadel mugavalt ringi liikuda. Laiad rehvid on kohased, et liikuda nii lumes, liivas, poris, kiviklibus ning veel loetamatul hulgal pinnasekatetel.
At given coordinates you will find a station where your can prevent or remove undesired shakes from your modern Boneshaker. After you have unleashed your inner inventor and fixed everything you wished to fix you may enjoy the smooth ride or rest a leg. But before that you can log your name in logbook :D
BYOP!
* First bicycle-like transportation device was created in 1817 by German baron Karl von Drais. His design became known as draisine or dandy horse, but it was quickly replaced with more advanced velocipede designs that had pedal-driven transmission.
* The world bicycle started being used several years after first bicycles appeared for sale. Those first models were called velocipedes (Latin velox, veloc- 'swift' + pes, ped- 'foot').
* Over 100 million bicycles are manufactured each year.
* First commercially sold bicycle “Boneshaker” weighed 80 kg when it appeared for sale in 1868 in Paris. It was made entirely of wood, then later with metal tires. That in combination with the cobblestone roads of the day made for an extremely uncomfortable ride :D
* Seven out of eight people in Netherlands that is older than 15 year old has a bicycle.
* Fastest measured speed of driving bicycle on a flat surface is 133.75 km/h.
* In 2011, Austrian racing cyclist Markus Stöckl drove an ordinary bicycle down the hill of a volcano. He attained the speed of 164.95 km/h.
* Fastest speed attained on bicycle that was driven on flat terrain with the help of pace car that removed wind turbulence was 268 km/h. This was achieved by Fred Rompelberg in 1995.
* 1 year maintenance cost for bicycle is over times 20 cheaper than for a single car.
* Cycling is one of the best pastimes for people who want to reduce risk of having heart disease and stroke.
* Bicycles can have more than one seat. Most popular configuration is two-seater tandem bike, but record holder is 67 feet long bicycle that was driven by 35 people.
* Over 90% of all bicycle trips are shorter than 15 kilometers.
* Same energy that is expended for walking can be used with bicycle for x3 increase of speed.
* Energy and resources that are used for creation of one single car can be used for creation of up to 100 bicycles.
* Fist Mountain Bikes were made in 1977.
* Although early versions of fat-tired bikes were probably built on a limited basis as long ago as the early 1900s, the first modern versions were not developed until the 1980s.
* Fat bikes were originally designed for the snowy weather in Alaska to enable people to ride their bikes during harsh seasons. However, they eventually evolved to suit all weather conditions. The fat tires allow people to ride on snow, sand, dirt, rocks, and more.
