Okay, but you’re still talking like tying power to people’s body energy output is a good thing. Speed, power, whatever, limiting our machine capability just because our body is limited (preventing working around disability) is an asshole move.
Not what I meant:
I’m tying power to the power that the bicyclist can naturally produce.
I’m tying speed to licensing-level, because crash-energy goes up with the square of the speed.
Physically-weak? THEN small-motor.
Linebacker? THEN huge-motor.
Speeds are tied to licensing.
I’m not tying speed to body-force, I’m tying it to licensing-level/competence-carefulness.
Don’t know how I fucked-up the communication so bad, but sorry.
