Wind chill

One for the mathematicians here.

It's 26C out there right now so I need to know how fast to ride to stay cool?
Also would turning my jeans up be a good substitute for speed?

I'm a mathematician.

To stay cool riding in this weather I shove ice cube up my bum. I've even made an applicator.

no fucking jean! especially with a leather saddle is a no no! defintely the most uncomfortable 11 miles back wearing those combination.

Buy shades from hipster hater. Then you'll be cool.

it's a false economy
the faster you go the more energy you'll use and the more heat you'll generate
it's like an ever increasing circle
you'll never go fast enough to keep yourself cool at the speed you are going ( if you know what i mean )
you always need to be going faster than the speed you are going
tommy will back me up on this

we did the calculations after a liquid lunch consisting of 6 pints of stella

Each?

each
why of course
a swift liquid lunch !
had to be back at work an hour later !

Just checking.

fixed.

Surely one could cheat with some sort of aerodynamic device?

If you recall WW2 films of earnest sailors standing on the bridge staring at the horizon/a U-Boat/whatever in a gale/high wind did you notice that they are not holding their hats on?

This is because the top of the bridge railing was shaped so that it accelerated the airflow upwards, providing a windbreak.

Renault used the same principle in the windscreen-less Sport Spider to deflect wind flow over the head of the driver.

So I would say that you could in effect focus high speed air on the rider, with the aid of some aerodynamic trickery attached to the handlebars, possibly leading to a speed which would be neutral in terms of energy expanded vs. wind chill received.

i thought the idea of fixed was minimalism / aesthetics
i might as well add a bell panniers and a baby seat to my track bike !

or alternatively just throw a load of ice cubes down your t-shirt before you start your journey
making sure they don't go too far south if you know what i mean

Style was not in the original brief as far as I could make out?

If we're going for minimalism it would be a lot less effort just to remove your clothes. Try it in the winter and witness true minimalism.

go downhill, and only downhill, when it's hot? and you wouldn't go far enough to get too hot anyway..

True story...

Some months after buying my first flat I discovered a previous owner's secret wank mag stash (which included 2 copies of the same stocking fetish monthly publication by the by). Included in the stash I also found a ribbed reusable condom. That was promptly put to good use by filling it up with water and whacking it in the freezer. Shortly afterwards the frozen contents found their way into someone's drink in my local. Happy days!
