Pretty sure they both change, its what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance." Believe it peeved him because it implied travel of something at faster than the speed of light. I could be wrong but that's how I remember it...
Good question. In an effort to keep it really simple I'm going with amount of force expended to cycle for ten seconds; uphill with optimum gearing vs level with 1:1 gear ratio.
Ok, well let me say this about that.
Fewer people read the rules on a forum when signing up than read the terms and conditions of their visa card and in this regard, mea culpa.
Fast forward to a parallel universe in which I did read the rules... Just kidding! Said rules do effectively...
Is this an official policy of this board? Can you please post a link to this rule?
Were not all generally accepted principles of physics at one time merely someone's personal speculation? How will science move forward if people are discouraged from speculating? I'm amused when people get...
I am a lay person trying to solve a bet. I contend that pedalling a bike uphill can easier than pedalling on a level plane at a 1:1 gear ratio, if:
[a] The bike is put in a higher gear ratio such as 10:1
[b] The rider accepts travel at a reduced speed and therefore a longer duration ride, if...
