Calling him out on #1, he asked "what is this Object (in the cylinder)?". Honey and ping pong balls are not a single object.

Also the bicycle question, you need a rear sprocket about twice the size (or larger) of the front one to negate the wheel/crank ratio. Only custom bikes made for this question would have that gearing...so technically he's right but no one will have those results. (Edit:with the possible exception of Krusty, because his crank may be larger than his tiny wheel)

3) it moves backwards because the force is applied to the entire system/bicycle. The wheel going backwards turns the gears and chain, rotating the pedal 'forwards' (rotating it in reverse). Because the wheel is much larger it travels much farther back than the pedal rotates forwards, even with 1:1 gearing the pedal actually travels backwards slightly compared to the ground, but in higher gears it gets much easier.
It's because the tire is so much larger than the crank, that makes it easier to rotate the tire than the crank even at 1:1, so it goes backwards.
It's counter intuitive, but I actually checked my work and yep, my bike went backwards in all gears....no sliding needed. Try it.

Rema Tip Top. Wonder if it's the same formulation as I use on my bicycle.

I'd just set up an inertial surge brake.

That way, you can concentrate on emergency stopping rather than spanking yourself...

I was laughing at the shitty camouflage job of the bicycle.

Then they admit it's camouflage and I think, ok, I guess it's OK then. I only noticed because of the jump cut so ya, I guess it would work.

Recumbent bicycles in general seem to have that problem, and this one does look pretty nice.

That thing seems to be pretty expensive...
on https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/podride-a-practical-and-fun-bicycle-car-bike-bicycle#/ even $1000 doesn't buy you one, but only qualifies for 20% discount.

I'm pretty sure Kohaku the cat enjoys watching him cook, too. He even goes shopping with Jun by bicycle:

I commute by bicycle - 10 minutes each way - although the Norwegian Winter at times makes the ride interesting.

In other good news, bicycling, wind power, and solar power continue to go up in the US and worldwide, while birth rates continue to go down.

Well, I guess if it's your primary hobby/activity, putting a few thousand into it isn't all that ridiculous. I've got friends that don't make much more than minimum wage but own a $1500 bicycle. On the other hand, I don't see how you could start cheap. Step one is buy a suit of plate armor.

I'm probably all wrong about what goes on at the events near me. Comparing it to paintball, for instance, there's the local level where you rent guns and nobody takes it super seriously, and then there's the competitive international level that's sponsored by Red Bull or whoever and is broadcast on TV (granted, probably on ESPN17 at 3 in the morning).
