Headlight Camping
Most bicyclists know without a doubt when we are climbing or descending hills, especially the steeper ones. Not only can we tell by sight, but we can feel the differing peddling pressures in our legs. Yet, under certain weather, wind, or physical conditions, the gradual inclines can be more difficult to detect and adjust to on distance rides. Here are two inexpensive ways to estimate or keep track of the lesser inclines on lengthy bike rides.
1. Floating sphere/ball compass (1 to 1-1/16" diameter).
- Purchase a bike-ready floating-in-fluid-ball compass set within an insulated metal ping-ringer. This model has a built-on handlebar mount. Mount it directly to the handlebars if desired, which can take up space from other items, like, a computer or headlight. It can also look amateurish.
- Or, pull the ball portion out from its ping-ringer frame, and then caulk or glue it partway into the hollowed-out end of a handlebar grip if no magnetic interference is present there. This mounting is out of the way and less bulky.
- Wrap black plastic tape around the end of the grip to cover only the glued part of the compass shell. That is, leave the floating apex in the compass visible.
Because the entire ball in this kind of compass floats horizontally within its transparently liquid-sealed outer shell, its apex floats straight up. Sometimes, this apex is noted by a small bubble atop the floating ball. Thus, any shift in the direction of the floating apex from a marked reference point atop the outer shell indicates a shift from being level. If the apex moves forward from that point or mark, the rider is going uphill. If it moves rearward, the rider is moving downhill.
However, these floating-ball compasses only provide course readings of slope inclines, although its gyroscopic-like tilts might be easier to view with the larger spheres. Their main advantage is showing the bicyclist both the directional and larger-incline readings at the same time.
2. Spirit-level core (large floating bubble liquid-sealed within a small tube having midway markings).
For a more sensitive indicator of lesser slope inclines, the spirit-level works best.
- Purchase a mini- or chalk-line type on the Internet or at a local hardware store.
- Trim the outer plastic mounting down to near its tube core for easy mounting.Â
- Mount it parallel to the top or side of the bicycle's crossbar with an air-drying caulk or glue.
- If necessary, wrap tape all the way around the crossbar and the level's ends for extra holding strength.
Because this device is sensitive to slight changes of position or gradient, its mounting attachment must be rigid. Otherwise, the spirit level itself will change position on it own, which will ruin the readings. Yet, once mounted firmly, it detects the slightest incline or gradient easily. Of course, this spirt level must be mounted while the bicycle is standing in a level position.
Also, while bicycling, the rider will want to stop or coast slowly to take a reading. The force from peddling a moving bicycle will affect the position of the level's bubble. Also, this bubble will breakup when riding on bumpy or rough surfaces.
Summary. These devices help bicyclists monitor every aspect of their rides, including all of the road or trail slopes without having to carry a global positioning system (GPS), which will measure both the direction and slope incline accurately. Certain advanced bicycle computers (cyclometers) will also measure percent incline. Yet, something in between all of these devices in terms of measurement ease and cost will be nice to have.

LIBERALS have role models like Rosy Odonnell to look up to?
Liberals sure have alot of goofballs in their camp like Rosy Fatso, Bill Maar, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosy "deer in the headlights" plastic surgery she got, John Kerry the snobbish dummy, and on and on. It must be embarrassing for liberals to be associated with their leadership in Washington D.C. such defunct wackjobs!!
I am a conservative and I don't like a lot of things liberals do and sort of bash them a lot for it, but you aren't even asking a question; just stating how stupid you think liberals are. Bad form.
But, yes, there are some pretty idiotic people out there, not all of them liberals, obviously.
