“ That doesn’t mean they’re inherently slow bikes (which is a silly concept anyway), it just means you won’t feel like you’re blowing it by taking it easy out there, when you might on a NukeProof Mega.”

From the latest riv newsletter about the Gus/Susie restock, ngl, this is how I feel when I’m in zone2 on a spaceship bike

well yeah if you stir a fluid, it will heat in direct proportion to the work you do on the stirrer. The unit of mechanical energy is called a Joule after the guy who demonstrated that with this setup:


(There’s a really great book called Inventing Termperature by Hasok Chang that goes through this history)

I think the point is just that the heat is a form of energy that doesn’t make the bike go, and that it comes out of your total energy budget. The crayon lines are completely made up, but the “vibrating flesh uses energy” part isn’t wrong
