Also, perhaps in the modern world where bike light output tends to be measured in lux rather than Watts we should re-baseline our Luminescence scores. Converting one to the other isn't trivial without taking various physical measurements.</p> <p>For those afflicted with Bicycle Acquisition Syndrome, perhaps separate Top Trump cards could be provided, or a single one that takes the mean values for each category. No sense in keeping something simple if you can make it more complicated. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1491&page=3#post-177518 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:17:38 +0000 dougal 177518@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think there should be a similar Sanfrancisconess score rating fixedness of gears, tightness of trousers, hair grooming and beer carrying capacity (small scale brewers only, please).
