I founded my software company, Elfring Fonts Inc, in 1980. We are global suppliers of bar code and MICR printing software and bar code scanners. Over 75% of the U.S. Fortune 100 companies use one or more Elfring Font products. We also sell UPC codes at My Bar Code Store.
I have B.S. and M.S. degrees in engineering, plus an MFA in Ceramics. I have one patent, have written several books and numerous magazine articles.
I have been developing and selling software electronically since 1979, using the first BBS system to start. I joined the Association of Software Professionals in 1989, was elected to the ASP Board of Directors in 1991, and was elected Chairman of the ASP Board of Directors in 1992. I joined the Software Industry Awards Foundation board of directors in 1998, which hosts the Software Industry Conference each year. I am also a founding member of the European Software Conference, which began in November of 2000.

walkable clipless pedal shoe to replace normal shoe? Simple test for all who supposedly disagree. Would you wear your clipless pedal shoes for a month instead of your regular shoes? How about a week? How about a day? I know my answer is no, not even for a day. And I use SPD cleats. |

Recommendations for bike headlight…possibly running on AA batteries? I'm an electrical engineer. AA batteries do not contain enough power to produce the light required for true night riding (at least for 3 hours). The light I mentioned and numerous similar ones are the equivalent to a motorcyle headlight. You can truely illuminate the road and ride in safety. |

Is it possible to glue or patch tire sidewalls? I have used tire patches on slits in the tire. It's reliable enough to get you home on a long ride. You do need a new tire. |

Best bike lock There are demo videos on the site. They show bolt cutters of all sizes and cutting wheels. They compare Kryptonite to titanium. It shows a tiny nick with a 6 foot bolt cutter, which takes 2 people to carry. It simply can not be cut that way. You can grind through it, but it takes twice as long to cut as a kryptonite lock. AND that time was for the titanium held in a vise. It's way harder to do free. |

How much of a difference will I notice going from a Mountain bike to a road bike? Basic physics says an increase in weight increases the amount of energy needed to keep moving at a constant speed in a friction filled environment. (This effect is slight.) Of course a bike also accelerating and decelerating and you notice the increase in weight here. |
