Who's with me, the metric & imperial systems need so fresh blood, I recon cans per hour as a standard unit.

Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Wasn't coca leaves (natural form of cocaine) used by the natives as a unit of measurement for long distance walks.

    e.g.
    "How far is it to the next village?"
    "About 3 leaves."

    Interesting side effect is after the initial surge there's a noticeable slowing down followed by an extended quiet period c. 5-8 hrs perhaps cern could explain it.

    Ah, problem is it may be.linear(ish) per individual but.not standard as you need to apply a gluggage modifier.
