Today I did experiments involving friction.
First involved the coefficient of friction of tyre rubber on
wet tarmac. At 71kph on a slight left hander there isnn't
enough friction to keep a tandem where it should oughter be.
Second involved lycra on wet tarmac. When sliding down the
road on yer raes, lycra wears through _very_ quickly.
Which leads us quickly to the third experiment, involving
skin and tarmac. This lasts about the same time as lycra,
but hurts more.
And I got a hole in my brand new Altura jacket. Can they
be patched?
