Friday night: Hay! It's only 84 degrees riding weather tonight! That's cool. Yesterday it was too hot for me to ride with you guys. I ride everyday in the hot noon sun and then ride home at night from work. Now, maybe it's cooling down. Hope to see you soon.

Hi Tom,

 

Thought you might get a grin from this, a wood frame bike that seems to work.

 

The computer aided design software used to design these frames is SolidWorks, a software package that I am very familiar with.  Sidenote: Paulo at Catrike also uses this software and its companion product, Cosmos finite element analysis software.  Cosmos takes the file from the design and analyzes where the weak points are.  When you add more material at the weak points it shows if it is strong enough and how much it will flex under different loads.  If these wood frames were not legit, I would expect that the hacks that designed it would have no knowledge of these software packages.  Who knows?

i Tom,I don't know if it is just me, or if the directions in your reply, contradict the directions in the letter following your reply. Are we to write Reed Kempton, or Mr. Zubia? Subj: Letter of Support Request - City of Scottsdale Please write to Susan Conklu at mailto://sconklu@ scottsdaleaz. gov with your support for a new bikepath along the AZ Canal between 64th St and Goldwater in downtown Scottsdale.  The letter/email should be sent to her, but addressed to the gentleman mentioned in her email (below).

Would you be interested in sending me a letter that I can enclose in the completed application?  My supervisor Reed Kempton thought you would be ideal, because of your affiliation with the Phoenix Metro Bicycle Club.   The project features a 10-foot concrete and 4-foot stabilized DG path along the south bank of the Arizona Canal. It will provide a critical link within the regional path system including Crosscut Canal, Arizona Canal (including the Sun Circle Trail and Papago Salado Trail), Indian Bend Wash, and Rio Salado along the Salt River. The path will be the final gap connecting Downtown Scottsdale with the Papago Salado area. Many destinations in Downtown Scottsdale will be within 1/4 mile of this project. The path will be a comfortable, safe and convenient transportation option for pedestrians and bicyclists.   Please let me know if you are willing to send a letter of support to me, and I will add it to the application. I will need to receive it by Friday July 17 at the latest.   The letter needs to be addressed, but not sent to: Felipe Andres Zubia Chair, ADOT Transportation Enhancement Review Committee 205 S. 17th Avenue, MD 609E Phoenix, AZ 85007 Contact me with any questions.   Thank you,
