Clad in his black leather jacket and boots, he is heaven on wheels this up coming week at Tri-City Baptist Church located about 60 miles north of Charlotte. The church started in 1989 with 42 members and has grown to over 1800. In 1999 Dr. Ruffin Snow from OK became the senior pastor. Tri-City Baptist Church, best known for its annual christmas play "The Promise" is building a reputation for something out of the ordinary among Baptist Churches: an annual Bike Week that starts May 1st.

In its fifth year, thousands of people will attend this five day event which will include a bike show, bike games, a three-hour ride to SC and back, air rides for kids, bicycle safety checks by the local fire department, and guest evaneglist Ken Freeman will bring the message from God's word nightly.

This year a new 2004 Harley-Davidson Sportster has been donated to the event to be given away.

"There are people who look at the church and say to themselves, 'I wouldn't be welcomed there,' " Pastor Snow said. "We're trying to say with this event, 'Yes, you would be.' "

Tired of the straight and narrow? Boston inventor granted US Patent # 6598892 for bicycle that travels sideways.

By Anonymous

January 9 2004--Have you ever felt tired of all this relentless forward progress? Would you prefer to move a little sideways. Introducing the Sideways Bike.

The current bicycle has its beginnings about 200 years ago. The commonly held belief is that the bicycle underwent a period of invention that ended at the beginning of the 20th century and has been refined since then.

Well, here is another bicycle invention, the Sideways Bike, that operates in a completly different way; uses a different human balance.
The US Patent Office concur that this bicycle is a new invention (Patent # 6598892).

HOW IT WORKS
Human balance is detected in the inner ear. There are three semi-circular canals positioned at right angles to each other that detect balance in three axes. These canals are separate and distinct. The three types of balance are Left to Right, Front to Back and Rotational (Yaw).

Left to Right balance is what people are most familiar with and is the primary balance used for riding a regular bicycle or indeed flying a plane. In the case of flying a plane there is a visual supplement to left to right balance provided by the observation of the horizon line.
Front to Back balance has very little visual input and is the primary balance used in riding a surfboard, windsurfer and snowboard. Front to Back balance is a finer instrument than Left to Right balance and offers a greater degree of artistic feedback. This is evidenced by the difference between skiing and snowboarding. Skiing (Left to Right balance) is faster than Snowboarding (Front to Back balance); however people like to snowboard because of the greater artistic expression.

A NEW BICYCLE
Introducing a new bicycle invention by myself, Michael Killian. This bicycle is ridden sideways and is balanced by using human Front to Back balance. This bicycle uses Front and Rear steering (impossible on bicycles using Left to Right balance).
