Welcome one and all to Jim's Café, the sanctuary for the long suffering sane from the madness of the modern world.
My cafe on the 19th was my first in a while, so here is another one! Merry Monday my marvellous and miraculous men and madams! May merriment mark your mornings and your moods miss misery by miles. Today is Go for a Ride Day, and American National Cranberry Relish Day, thats about it, so im going to just make up the topic
As ever, feel free to read and answer whatever you like, topics are divided into tables, each heading has a summary, so no need to read tonnes of you dont want to, answer as much or as little as you like.
Now, fun facts about bicycles and some music to read them to, followed by our tables of many topics:

2) The longest tandem bicycle seated 35 people, it was more than 20 meters long.
3) The word bicycle started being used several years after the first bicycles went on sale. The first models were called velocipedes.
4) The same energy you use to walk can be used on a bicycle to go 3 times faster (depending on road surface and incline)
5) The land speed record for a bicycle is 184MPH set in 2018 by Denise Mueller-Korenek using an aerodynamic suit and specially designed bicycle which needs to be towed above a certain speed before the pedals are workable by human legs due to the specialised gearing.
