The answer comes down to a number of improvements, with the biggest actually being the battery and the electrics that allow for the pedal assist to do its job.<br style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />"It is really the integration of the electronics to build a higher performance oriented product than what was available in the past," said Adela Wang , which makes the Frey brand of electric bicycles. "It has been a gradual and slow progression, sort of like pedaling uphill."</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Exactly how slow this innovation has been in coming is notable in that electric bikes have been around almost as long as the bicycle itself. In fact, the motorcycle -- the big sibling of the bicycle -- came out of developments to put a motor on a bike.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
What wasnt around back then was the modern rechargeable battery, a true game changer for those looking to get some help when pedaling. The size of the battery has gotten smaller, making it a far more viable technology for riders.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"Electric bicycles were invented more than a hundred years ago, but modern lithium ion battery technology has made them at least 20 pounds lighter," said Beth Black of Frey Electric Bikes.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"When we started a few years ago, the battery packs still weighed 30 pounds. Today, a battery weighs six pounds and lasts 10 times longer. Recent investments in improving battery technology for other applications, such as cars, are helping to develop even better batteries for electric bikes," she explained.<br />more:http://www.freyebikes.com/news/Better-Battery-Means-Better-E-Bike.htm</div>

They’ve got something like eight or nine local <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>reweries in a relatively small town. It’s kind of a point of pride for us that we’ve got this very tight-knit neigh<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>orhood [which isn’t unlike a scaled-down version of Asheville], and we love the idea of a local community and craft <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er.It feels like one of those win-win things: we’ll get a <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>unch of <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er that we can’t normally get here,and have it <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>asically delivered to our doorstep. And on top of that, you get to meet a <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>unch of really cool <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>rewers like Ivan Chester from Yazoo, the folks from Lazy Magnolia, and Schlafly is sending some of their <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>rewers down here. So you get to hang out with these guys, drink their <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er, and raise money for the [Cooper-Young] all at the same time.What was attendance and the general reaction like last year?Last year, we sold around 400 tickets, plus all of the volunteers and designated drivers plus comp tickets, so we pro<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>a<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ly had around 500 people...and we sold out on festival day even though we were <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>rand new and kind of an unknown commodity. It really worked out well...most attendees were from Memphis, and a good portion of those were from Cooper-Young. So we decided to offer more tickets this year.It seems like just a<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>out everything revolving around the festival is a cele<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ration of all things regional.Exactly. We’ll have food from local restaurants: Sweet Grass will <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ringing homemade <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>rats which will <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> made Friday, and freshly-made mustard as well as <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ar<span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>cue from Central. WEVL will <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> there, and Goner Records will <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> DJing and selling some of their merchandise. We really wanted to focus on promoting Cooper-Young as a community.Can you talk a <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>it a<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>out the <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er education tent?The <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er education tent, which we’re calling <span style="font-size:+0;">Be</span>er Tent Revival, gives <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>rewers and the <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>luff City <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>rewers & Connoisseurs the opportunity to talk a<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>out whatever they want: their products, the <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>rewing process, the industry. It was a huge success last year. The tent was almost overflowing, so we’ve provided more room for it this year. We want people to come away excited a<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>out craft <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er in the same way we’re excited. You usually can’t really get that access to the people who really know <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er...I mean they’re the ones who <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>rew it.Which <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>reweries should we expect to see this year?Ghost River, <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>oscos, Yazoo, Schlafly, Lazy Magnolia, Red <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>rick from Atlanta (who just recently introduced their <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>ers to the Memphis market)..a lot of stuff that’s within a day’s driving distance. And that includes some stuff from some <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>reweries from Asheville like Green Man, French <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>road, and the Asheville <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>rewing Company. Plus the <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>luff City <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>rewers & Connoisseurs are <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ringing some pretty exciting <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>ers [Check out a few of themhere.] It should all <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> pretty fantastic.We want people to discover some new <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>ers that, next time they’re at a <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ar or restaurant, they’ll ask a<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>out. It’s a way of showing <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>reweries that don’t currently distri<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ute here that there is in fact demand for their product in Memphis.Keep an eye out for pt. 2, in which Ash<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>y talks a<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>out the local craft <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er scene.Cooper-Young Regional <span style="font-size:+0;">Be</span>erfest————<a href="http://www.chinabeerbrewing.com/">Beer Brewing</a><br />I know I mentioned this in the last post, <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ut Raffe’s Deli will <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> hosting a <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>er tasting this evening featuring Yazoo and <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>rew-master, Ivan Chester, starting at 7 p.m., and Young Avenue Deli will <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> hosting keep-the-glass cask night (also with Ivan) at 6 p.m. tomorrow evening...I <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span>lieve he’ll <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> <span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>ringing a cask of Yazoo’s Sly Rye Porter instilled with Olive & Sinclair cocoa ni<span style="font-size:+0;">b</span>s. <span style="font-size:+0;">B</span>oth events should <span style="font-size:+0;">be</span> pretty stellar, so check ‘em out!Edited: An earlier version of this story read that tickets for the <a href="http://www.chinabeerbrewing.com/">http://www.chinabeerbrewing.com/</a> <span style="font-size:+0;">Be</span>erfest had sold out.

September, U.S. troops have been operating together with Iraqi police out of a heavily guarded Joint Security Station on the southern border of Sadr City. In the last two weeks they have started moving north.<br />About a thousand U.S. and Iraqi soldiers are moving house to house, street by street northward into Sadr City in some of the toughest urban fighting U.S. troops have seen in Iraq.<br />"In this area there are some real knuckleheads that just want to shoot at Americans," Command Sgt.-Maj. Michael Boom said.<br />Despite the fierce resistance and the tough conditions they are facing, U.S. troops are giving no ground.<br />As U.S. troops make progress, Boom said, "they are living in abandoned buildings."<br />The 50-year-old officer from Sacramento, Calif., admitted he might be too old for this sort of fighting.随心所遇http://www.blogger.com/profile/18424751334961734236noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308745961964984061.post-49414063017978573662008-03-23T19:43:00.001-07:002008-03-23T19:44:45.424-07:00Flow control valves and level gauges from Hydraulics DirectHydraulics Direct supplies various types of hydraulic products such as control valves, flow control valves and level gauges.
