Fellow roadies...what do you do for a living?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Electrical engineer by training, now a specialist/in-house consultant on safety of software and system behavior in automobiles, helping to design safe high-tech products for cars. Also have done spacecraft power systems, immunity to electrical noise, protection of space vehicles. Then in automotive electronic throttle actuators, and radar/vision based safety systems capable of automatic braking.

Lotsa tech! Bikes are where life gets tactile and simple. There's nothing about a bike you can't feel.

Rode 40 miles yesterday, too much time at the office.

I eagerly await the day that cars drive themselves, so that the phone-addicted occupants can text without distraction by things on the road.

Mechanically, the layouts are about the same just that the electric drivetrain takes a bit more observation for safety reasons. Season two should have faster cars, not sure yet on how far the cars will go on a charge.
