I'm a PhD student in atmospheric remote sensing in Kiruna, Sápmi (Lapland), Sweden. I first came to Stack Exchange for practical reasons: Tex.SE has been of major help when I wrote my licentiate (midterm) thesis. Since then, I have discovered the joy of many websites. As my network profile will show, I'm interested in travel, outdoor, scientific skepticism, and as I work in academia, also in academia and LaTeX.

Apr 3	comment	Ride with someone who is less trained Let the less trained person ride on a recumbent. An untrained person on a recumbent easily passes by a well-trained racer.

Feb 11	comment	How do I tell if my cog needs replacing? I'm going to get a new chain soon in any case, but am hoping to postpone bigger maintance to autumn, when I will be much closer to specialists that I trust to work on my bicycle and do things I can't do myself.

Feb 9	comment	Shorten or replace bicycle chain? Thanks, I'll probably ask the local bicycle service to do so.
Feb 9	comment	Apart from the size, is there any difference between chains for derailleurs or for single-speed / internally geared hubs? Right, they do here, thanks.

Feb 9	comment	How can I tell which size chain my bike uses? Ping: any hope of adding or linking some diagrams?
Jan 15	comment	Why do we rarely see recumbents and almost never see velomobiles? On the security — doesn't the "dork effect" mentioned elsewhere mean it's much less likely to be stolen? I know someone who painted an expensive (non-recumbent) bicycle pink because he believed it would vastly reduce the chance of theft.
Jan 14	comment	Why do we rarely see recumbents and almost never see velomobiles? All that said, 'bents are ideal for touring, so-so for daily utilitarian use, and of course illegal for racing. Of those three uses, touring is the rarest, and it's pretty hard to build a market around something most people don't do. — Right! That seems to sum it up spot-on.

Jan 10	revised	How to protect myself when falling off the bicycle I've removed the `winter` tag, I really don't think this is winter-related.

Jan 10	comment	How to protect myself when falling off the bicycle Although answers on Stack Exchange tend to be quick, they're still not quick enough to appear between falling and hitting the ground (unless you're Felix Baumgartner).
