Park your bike in a tree -- a bicycle tree

bike parking

Jan 29, 2008

While we wrap up our next post in the bike parking series, we thought we'd point out this amazing bicycle parking solution: the bicycle tree! (As seen on Bike Commute Tips Blog.)

To be sure, the bicycle tree does have drawbacks: it likely draws a lot of power; it requires technological (and literal) overhead; and it looks a bit like a futuristic mushroom -- an eyesore to some, no doubt.

Streetsblog today linked to what could be a more sensible solution for most sites: bike lockers. San Francisco's BART is going to install 200 bike lockers at six of its stations this summer. According to the article, bicyclists will be able to rent them by the hour with a pre-paid swipe card.

Let me show you some advantages and disadvantages of iPad in details, and at the same time, I will introduce one useful iPad DVD Video Converter to help you convert DVD and videos to play on your iPad.
The good: In an act of aggressive tech convergence, Apple has consolidated your Net book, e-reader, gaming device, photo frame, and iPod into an elegant, affordable super gadget. Features such as Bluetooth, 802.11n Wi-Fi, movie rentals, 10 hours of battery life, optional 3G wireless, and the most-celebrated App Store on the planet have us pretty worked up.
The bad: The iPad's large size is as much a hindrance as it is an advantage. As a jack-of-all-trades and a master of few, the iPad can't entirely mimic many of the specialized products it seeks to replace. The iPad's limited multitasking capabilities and lack of integrated video camera, Flash support, and HD video output already have us pining for next year's model.
The bottom line: The Apple iPad is the first affordable tablet computer worth owning, but it won't (yet) replace your laptop.
The Apple iPad is an unprecedented device. It doesn't shoot rainbows or make puppies, but this roughly 8x10-inch tablet computer melds your laptop, smart phone, gaming console, and iPod into a single, affordable, unfortunately named thing.
Of course, we come to you with a standard list of complaints. The absence of an integrated video camera puts the kibosh on any hope of using the iPad for video chats, and without Flash video support, many Web pages look like Swiss cheese. But the biggest problem with the device is coming up with bullet-proof reasons to buy one.
Because the iPad is an entirely new class of device, you'll probably need to lie to yourself a little to justify the purchase. But at this point, any CNET readers worth their salt have mastered the art of making excuses to buy new gadgets.
In my opinion, iPad is a nice thing, so when you get DVDs and videos in your PC, but you also want to enjoy them with iPad when you're traveling. How to? This best iPad Converter can be your best choice to rip DVDs and convert videos to iPad. Best iPad Converter is designed for iPad fans to convert all media formats to iPad compatible formats. This best iPad Converter is just for windows users, if you're Mac users, the powerful Mac iPad Converter is your best choice to rip DVDs to iPad on Mac OS X.
