Geek on a Bicycle (Statistics)

http://www.geekonabicycle.co.uk/statistics

I'm a data geek! These are mostly statistics I've been collecting since the beginning of 2012 about things that I am particularly interested in. There are some more cool numbers from the Tour D'AFrique here. Dislocation of right shoulder (putting a hoody on). Dislocation of right shoulder (worst physio ever). Concussion and fractured left patella (collision with a car). Dislocation of right shoulder (stretching at desk). Dislocation of right shoulder (rolled over in bed).

Pareto Optimality as a Decision Making Aid. 10:22 pm on Tuesday 13th January 15. One of the concepts I've been somewhat enamoured with lately is that of Pareto optimality. I first heard of the idea of Pareto optimality in my secondary school economics class and recently realised it makes a rather good aid to decision making - on the road, and elsewhere. So how does Pareto optimality fit in with this system of rules on the road? Any city cyclist will bemoan the irrationality of traffic lights, particularl...

5:59 am on Tuesday 10th March 15. Yesterday's (and my first) triathlon was also my first Treeathlon, having been organised by the Stanford Triathlon Club (Stanford has a tree as their mascot, so you know, Treeathlon, get it? England", "yah, but where in England? Conversation with him and his carbon fibre Specialized road bike painted in a colour scheme that I could only imagine was inspired by a Cadbury's Creme Egg. On the count of 4 I hit the start button and got ready to thrash. It took me about 4....

7:34 am on Wednesday 10th June 15. As I mentioned way back in November. I had committed to the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon, a historic triathlon that involves jumping off a boat into the San Francisco Bay, swimming to the city, biking around a bit and then running around a bit. Where Peter's porta-toilet falls over. Euch. At 4:50am, the line for the bike pump was about 50 athletes deep. Meanwhile, outside, the line to get into the transition area had a couple of hundred athletes in it. While I...15 ho...

Ice Cream, Pizza and Graffiti. 7:05 pm on Wednesday 14th July 10. My brief visit to Bologna was spurred by both growing boredom and restlessness at home (four years of summer jobs have rendered my ability to enjoy largely vacant periods of time null) and a desire to meet up with a TDA rider who I became good friends with before he unfortunately crashed out of the Tour on our second day in Ethiopia. The gelato is also a favourite of mine and, in the baking summer temperatures nearing 40 C, was the perfect...

http://www.geekonabicycle.co.uk/tech

As an individualist and Computer Scientist, I couldn't bear to simply use Wordpress and adapt it to my purpose, especially since I already have a perfectly good (and very colourful) pre-existing web journal, Hype Dark. The website is a simple PHP, MySQL and CSS site. All posts are read from the Hype Dark database but filtered for the Geek On a Bicycle tag. The CSS used to provide the theme for this website is an adapted version of the K2 theme. I used the Slimbox2 script. In order to determine my locatio...
