All good things must come to an end

The update is that we're in the process of switching from PAO Social to PAO Blog this week. The design hasn't been completed so they're still working on that, and that's what the delay is. I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend, and here's to a great September as we continue to do all we can do to get President Trump back into the White House so the cleanup can begin!

A time to remember who "built and invented it all" and just say thanks!

FEATURED WHITE MALE OF THE DAY:J.K. Starley, inventor of the tangent bicycle spoke When you look at bicycle spokes, they do not come straight out from the hub to the rim, because that has no structural strength. Prior to Starley, bicycle spokes had to be made out of wood to give them enough strength to survive use because the idea of not having them come straight from the hub to the rim did not exist and despite being made out of wood, the spokes were still not very strong. This made the bicycle a novelty item because it was too fragile and heavy to be practical.
Starley got the idea that by having the spokes come off the rim at 4 different angles, enormous strength could be gained with a very small amount of spoke material, and the idea worked - the practical bicycle we all use today was born and has not significantly changed since. Bicycle ownership exploded and the bicycle still remains the most efficient and practical way to get around with your own power.
