This is a fan page created for Cozy Beehive, a relatively new technical blog about everything bicycling. If you follow CB and like my articles, or know how I could improve, this could be a possible communication channel to express what you feel.

"I'm at the Speedplay Booth. Their leg mannequin has the biggest ass I've ever seen." - someone at Interbike this year. While I appreciate bike technology in all forms, I can't stand the inglorious ways by which people try to sell it to you......

Hey friends, thought I'd share some humor with you. Monty Python's "Picasso on a bicycle". Brilliant I thought. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeIVlsHpd

Don't take it too seriously, it's just a list based on my personal choices, and obviously as subjective as it can be. Don't whine if your rider isn't on it or if he's not rated very high. #10 Roger ...

"It is noteworthy in table 4.3 that worthwhile drag reductions were given by partial fairings such as those shown in figures 4.6 and 4.7. (In some cases these were simply curved sheets mounted on the handlebars.) The principal reason for this kind of drag reduction appears to be the reduction of the effective area. Wit......hout any fairing, the air billows out around the rider's bluff body, disturbing air over an area much greater than that of the body alone. An upstream streamlined shape (such as a partial fairing) can reduce this disturbance. A partial fairing can also have a favorable distribution of pressure. The effective drag coefficient for a front fairing, such as the lowest one in figure 4.8, can actually be negative (ref. 2, p.312)."
--"Bicycling Science," 2nd edition, p.97
Reference 2 is Hoerner's "Fluid Dynamic Drag."
I came across an unsurprising insight into the role that engineering plays in the cycling world hour record......

How much of the the cycling hour record is due to better engineering? This graph made by Richard Neptune et.al at the University of Texas at Austin shows the role of aerodynamic bikes and seating positions. One study's estimation is that as much as 60% of the hour records in past years have come due to engineering alon......e. See my post on this topic : http://cozybeehive.blogspot.com/2009/11/

So I've formed a Twitter account by popular demand. Could use this to network with other greats and pollinate further cycling. Swimming into total information overload... :) Follow me if you wish.

I'm a popular cycling blogger on the interwebs. Also a mechanical enginer cum electro optician by skill. Friends know I just love to ride my bike.
I appreciate projects that are simple, can actually be made using novel technologies and which really work well for the task at hand. Among them are those that try and see if pedal power can be applied in any fashion to solving practical problems, however outrageous they maybe......

Hey peeps. Hows it going? The competition is looking tough out on Weblog Awards for me. Take a minute or two to slamdunk in a vote for me for "best sports blog" (very subjective term by the way, whats best afterall?). All you have to do is hit the green "+" sign against the existing nominations people have already put ......in for me at the bottom of the page Here's the link : http://2009.weblogawards.org/nominations

To nominate a blog you need to leave a comment on this entry. Your comment should contain the name of the blog, the main URL for the blog, and (if possible) the URL for a RSS/Atom feed. For example:
The humble bicycle reflector works on the principle of corner cube retro-reflection. Incident light bounces off the orthogonally placed, reflective plastic surfaces and emerges in the opposite direction, parallel to the incident ray. Its totally and internally reflected......
