Cycling Hill Misery Index
A few years ago I moved from Milford to Birkdale, and I have always felt that in Milford I could easily get around on a bicycle, whereas in Birkdale an acoustic bicycle is pretty much useless. It is really hilly.
So here I introduce the Bicycling Hill Misery Index, an estimate of how annoying hills are. A value of 0.0 means flat as a pancake. 1.0 means an area is so hilly that it doubles the effort required to go the same distance. By looking at the slopes of streets, we can put this on a map.
Some thoughts on using the Kaiser Baas X600
A while ago I got this action camera. It is relatively cheap, but waterproof so I can use it in the rain.
With cheap electronics things can go two ways. Often the quality is a bit sub-par, but it otherwise works well enough to get the job done. But sometimes it is just too cheap and nasty and you’ll have to go back to the shop for something better.
Kaiser Baas definitely sits in this category. It is not super cheap, but it is way cheaper than a GoPro. What did we get?
